Vibraderm
Vibraderm is one of the latest solutions available to improve the appearance of skin, as an alternative to microdermabrasion. The goal of Vibraderm is to offer a safe and reliable treatment that stimulates natural collagen production and exfoliation to improve the skin's appearance on any area of the body. Many practices use Vibraderm along with chemical peel or other photodynamic therapy procedures to achieve optimal results. Laser skin resurfacing may also be used in conjunction with Vibraderm.
The Best Candidates for Vibraderm
Vibraderm is most effective for patients in the early stage of aging or for youths suffering from damaged skin. Vibraderm treats mild acne scarring, hyperpigmentation, poorly textured skin, fine lines, as well as large and clogged pores. The procedure is considered effective for both dark- and light-skinned patients. The best candidates are those with an understanding of the procedure and realistic expectations.
The Procedure
At the core of Vibraderm is a device that looks like a paddle covered with fine fastened abrasive particles. The stainless steel paddle may cause less skin irritation than traditional microdermabrasion treatments, which "sandblast" abrasive particles over the skin. During the Vibraderm treatment, the treatment provider will evenly move the Vibraderm device over the skin as the paddle gently vibrates at a very high speed. The treatment does not cause discomfort or skin laceration, so healing and recovery time is minimal.
The patient's face may be slightly red for about an hour after treatment. If redness appears for a longer time, the treatment provider should be contacted immediately.
Vibraderm packages usually contain six to ten treatments, and multiple treatments are normally performed.
| First Treatment | $ 130 |
