The Naturepeel  MACROdermabrasion™ removes the hard top layer of the epidermis (stratum corneum) exposing the fresher and softer skin layers beneath. Now creams with antioxidants and AHA’s have a chance to get down to the lower layers of your skin. There they will be even more effective. More of the thick layers of the stratum corneum are removed by the Naturepeel than any of the other microdermabrasion methods currently on the market... thus allowing even better penetration.</em>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<em>It is well documented within published medical literature that with the upper layers of the epidermis removed, the use of ultrasound technology to enhance the delivery of such cream (SonoPhoresis) allows for much better skin penetration and absorption. DermaPhoresis™; a newly patented process is an advancement on SonoPhoresis by combining MACROdermabrasion™ with low frequency UltraSound, the safety issues associated with SonoPhoresis have been eliminated.</em>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<em>DermaPhoresis utilizes the sound waves of a 3 MHz UltraSound device to create an effect on the skin termed \"cavitation\". Cavitation by the ultrasound device produces an \"air bubble\" like effect in the lipid bilayer of the stratum corneum. This allows increased permeability of the skin for a short time. The specially formulated cream (comprised of effective antioxidants and AHA\'s in concentrations not found in many over?the?counter products) is gently massaged in a repetitive and soothing circular motion into the skin with an ultrasonic device. A protective gel is then applied and clients leave the salon feeling \"wonderful!\"</em>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<em>Clients report feeling immediate and continuous tightening, reduction of fine lines, wrinkles and stretch marks and softer and smoother skin. They have noticed that their skin is more resilient and friends have told them that they seem to have that \"youthful glow\" about them. Medical researches have indicated that this system provides more consistent cosmetic benefits when compared with other modalities such as non-invasive laser resurfacing, photofacials and photorejuvenation.

What is microdermabrasion?</strong>\r\n\r\nMicrodermabrasion is a non-invasive, non-surgical procedure that removes the top layer of dead skin cells from the surface of the skin, thereby accelerating the skin’s natural renewal cycle, leaving it revitalised and refreshed.\r\n<div><strong>2. Why choose NaturePeel microdermabrasion?</strong></div>\r\n<div>NaturePeel uses non-toxic <strong>natural</strong> <strong>salt </strong>as opposed to Aluminium Oxide, which is used in most other microdermabrasion systems. Salt’s natural cleansing and healing properties make it an ideal exfoliant that can be easily and thoroughly removed from the skin. It does not carry any of the health-associated risks that have been linked with Aluminium Oxide.</div>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nNaturePeel technology delivers an effective yet gentle exfoliation of the skin. It includes a deep skin treatment delivered via ultrasound that further boosts collagen and elastin production, resulting in smooth and noticeably fresher looking skin.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>3. Who benefits from this treatment?</strong>\r\n\r\nNaturePeel microdermabrasion is suitable for all skin types, colours, conditions and age groups.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>4. How often can I have a treatment? How soon will I see results?</strong>\r\n\r\nNaturePeel microdermabrasion is an ideal treatment to revitalise your skin as a one-off luxury facial treatment with immediate results. To enhance and maintain a good and healthy skin condition, a NaturePeel microdermabrasion is recommended about once every 2 months.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nIf you are being treated for a particular skin condition, then a course of 6-7 treatments, scheduled at 2-3 weeks apart will bring the best results.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>5. What specific skin conditions will it help?</strong>\r\n\r\nNaturePeel microdermabrasion can help most skin conditions and is most effective in\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Treating Active Acne and Acne Prone Skin</li>\r\n	<li>Acne Scarring</li>\r\n	<li>Reducing Fine Lines and Wrinkles</li>\r\n	<li>Treating Hyperpigmentation</li>\r\n	<li>Treating Age Spots – Hands and Face</li>\r\n	<li>Reducing Mature Stretch Marks</li>\r\n	<li>Improving Poor Skin Tone and Texture</li>\r\n	<li>Reduction of Open Pores</li>\r\n	<li>Elimination of Black Heads and White Heads</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>6. Is the procedure painful?</strong>\r\n\r\nNo. Most people describe the process of microdermabrasion as ‘scratchy’ when the salt is passed against the skin. Some people experience a warm or tingling sensation in the treatment areas when the Vitamin enriched masque is applied. However at no time should you expect to experience lingering discomfort.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>7. What extent of ‘down time’ should I expect? </strong>Microdermabrasion is referred to the ‘lunch time peel’ because the procedure is so brief (30 –60 mins) and you can continue with your day uninterrupted. When you leave, you will notice smoother, more refreshed skin that glows!\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>8. Who is it NOT recommended for?</strong>\r\n\r\nNaturePeel microdermabrasion is not recommended if\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>You are pregnant and within the first 20 weeks</li>\r\n	<li>You have been treated with Roaccutane for acne in the last 6 months</li>\r\n	<li>You have cold sores or active herpes simplex</li>\r\n	<li>You have received recent radiation for cancer treatment to the treatment area</li>\r\n	<li>You have Keloid scarring</li>\r\n	<li>You suffer from severe Rosacea</li>\r\n	<li>You have received botox/dermal fillers in the treatment area within the last 2 weeks</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<strong>9. Will it interfere with any other aesthetic treatments I am having?</strong>\r\n\r\nMicrodermabrasion is an ideal pre-cursor to botox/dermal fillers and peels for maximum aesthetic results. Refer to your skin care consultant for a schedule to suit your aesthetics programme.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>10. Can I use make up after my treatment?</strong>\r\n\r\nYes – It is recommended that you apply only mineral make up immediately after and as part of your home-care programme. We recommend the BPC Mineral Make Up range.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>11. How do I look after my skin at home?</strong>\r\n\r\nLooking after your skin with a good daily home-care programme is most important in order to maintain the benefits that your NaturePeel microdermabrasion has just delivered.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nWe recommend the ASAP (Australian Skin Approved Products) range. The range is simple to use and suitable for all skin types.\r\n\r\nASAP Facial Cleanser – morning and evening\r\n\r\nASAP Facial Scrub – 2-3 times a week initially, building to daily use\r\n\r\nASAP Moisturiser with SPF30+ daily\r\n\r\nASAP Anti Ageing Night Cream – not required for young, healthy skin\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Why ASAP?</span></strong>\r\n\r\nASAP is classed as a cosmeceutical range because of the high level of active ingredients present. Active ingredients allow for quicker results and are beneficial in treating a variety of skin conditions.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nDaily use of the ASAP range will reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, acne, acne scarring, hyperpigmentation, open pores, sun damage and uneven skin tone.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>ASAP uses glycolic acid, a naturally derived alpha hydroxy acid, from sugarcane. It is the smallest of the alpha hydroxy acid molecules to enhance the skin’s natural exfoliation. It does this by dissolving the intercellular glue that binds the dead skin cells together. The dead skin cells are sloughed away making way for newer cells.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Studies      have demonstrated glycolic acid tends to increase the rate of skin renewal      which aids in achieving and maintaining a youthful appearance.</li>\r\n	<li>Glycolic      acid has the ability to fade and even out skin discolouration, age spots      and pigmentation.</li>\r\n	<li>Glycolic      acid is highly effective in treating skin that is prone to heavy oil      production and/or acne. Glycolic acid along with Salicylic acid have the      ability to exfoliate dead skin cells within the pore; which in turns      reduces problems such as blackheads, acne and white heads. This cleaning      out stage varies, depending on the condition of the skin and diet.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nWhat to expect\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>If      you have never used an AHA product before, or are concerned about possibly      sensitivity, you can work up to the full treatment, ie. Start by using the      product every other day.</li>\r\n	<li>It      is common for AHA based products to cause some initial tingling, a pink      glow or redness and/or an itching sensation for the first few days. This      will diminish with the application of a moisturiser.</li>\r\n	<li>Initial      use may cause a brief period of break out (eg. Increase in acne). This      occurs because glycolic acid is working to purify the skin of toxins.</li>\r\n	<li>Any      slight dryness experienced indicates that the dead skin cells are      effectively being loosened. This stage only lasts a few days and is quite      normal. If you experience dry patches when using a glycolic product you      can apply a bland moisturiser to the effected area.</li>\r\n	<li>For      many people using glycolic acid products, the skin will adapt to treatment      over time. This allows for the potency of treatment to be slowly increased      in order to provide optimal results.</li>\r\n	<li>Many      people make the mistake of thinking that if a little is good, more is      better. In the case of ASAP, the product is concentrated, more will not      speed up the process but it increases the risk of unwanted irritation.      There is no need to rub hard and only a small amount (pearl sized drop) is      required.</li>\r\n	<li>After      approximately 2 weeks you should notice you skin feels smoother and looks      fresher. Blotchy and uneven skin tones, including brown spots have started      to fade. Fine lines gradually seem to disappear.</li>\r\n</ul>','Naturepeel','','inherit','closed','open','','44-revision-15','','','2011-04-15 10:52:02','2011-04-15 10:52:02','',44,'http://www.cosmeticmedicaltechnologies.com/uncategorized/44-revision-15/',0,'revision','',0),(632,2,'2011-04-26 16:41:01','2011-04-26 16:41:01','<h1><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-46\" title=\"masthead.microdermabrasion\" src=\"http://www.cosmeticmedicaltechnologies.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/masthead.microdermabrasion1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"960\" height=\"236\" />Demand for natural skin care and anti-ageing treatments is on the increase, so now is the perfect time to invest in a  quality microdermabrasion system...&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nNaturepeel is the natural choice.</h1>\r\n<table border=\"0\">\r\n<tbody>\r\n<tr valign=\"top\">\r\n<td><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><img class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-628\" title=\"Naturepeel_machine - 400\" src=\"http://www.cosmeticmedicaltechnologies.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/Naturepeel_machine-400.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"385\" height=\"265\" /></span></td>\r\n<td>Completely natural!

What is microdermabrasion?</strong>\r\n\r\nMicrodermabrasion is a non-invasive, non-surgical procedure that removes the top layer of dead skin cells from the surface of the skin, thereby accelerating the skin’s natural renewal cycle, leaving it revitalised and refreshed.\r\n<div><strong>2. Why choose NaturePeel microdermabrasion?</strong></div>\r\n<div>NaturePeel uses non-toxic <strong>natural</strong> <strong>salt </strong>as opposed to Aluminium Oxide, which is used in most other microdermabrasion systems. Salt’s natural cleansing and healing properties make it an ideal exfoliant that can be easily and thoroughly removed from the skin. It does not carry any of the health-associated risks that have been linked with Aluminium Oxide.</div>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nNaturePeel technology delivers an effective yet gentle exfoliation of the skin. It includes a deep skin treatment delivered via ultrasound that further boosts collagen and elastin production, resulting in smooth and noticeably fresher looking skin.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>3. Who benefits from this treatment?</strong>\r\n\r\nNaturePeel microdermabrasion is suitable for all skin types, colours, conditions and age groups.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>4. How often can I have a treatment? How soon will I see results?</strong>\r\n\r\nNaturePeel microdermabrasion is an ideal treatment to revitalise your skin as a one-off luxury facial treatment with immediate results. To enhance and maintain a good and healthy skin condition, a NaturePeel microdermabrasion is recommended about once every 2 months.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nIf you are being treated for a particular skin condition, then a course of 6-7 treatments, scheduled at 2-3 weeks apart will bring the best results.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>5. What specific skin conditions will it help?</strong>\r\n\r\nNaturePeel microdermabrasion can help most skin conditions and is most effective in\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Treating Active Acne and Acne Prone Skin</li>\r\n	<li>Acne Scarring</li>\r\n	<li>Reducing Fine Lines and Wrinkles</li>\r\n	<li>Treating Hyperpigmentation</li>\r\n	<li>Treating Age Spots – Hands and Face</li>\r\n	<li>Reducing Mature Stretch Marks</li>\r\n	<li>Improving Poor Skin Tone and Texture</li>\r\n	<li>Reduction of Open Pores</li>\r\n	<li>Elimination of Black Heads and White Heads</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>6. Is the procedure painful?</strong>\r\n\r\nNo. Most people describe the process of microdermabrasion as ‘scratchy’ when the salt is passed against the skin. Some people experience a warm or tingling sensation in the treatment areas when the Vitamin enriched masque is applied. However at no time should you expect to experience lingering discomfort.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>7. What extent of ‘down time’ should I expect? </strong>Microdermabrasion is referred to the ‘lunch time peel’ because the procedure is so brief (30 –60 mins) and you can continue with your day uninterrupted. When you leave, you will notice smoother, more refreshed skin that glows!\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>8. Who is it NOT recommended for?</strong>\r\n\r\nNaturePeel microdermabrasion is not recommended if\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>You are pregnant and within the first 20 weeks</li>\r\n	<li>You have been treated with Roaccutane for acne in the last 6 months</li>\r\n	<li>You have cold sores or active herpes simplex</li>\r\n	<li>You have received recent radiation for cancer treatment to the treatment area</li>\r\n	<li>You have Keloid scarring</li>\r\n	<li>You suffer from severe Rosacea</li>\r\n	<li>You have received botox/dermal fillers in the treatment area within the last 2 weeks</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<strong>9. Will it interfere with any other aesthetic treatments I am having?</strong>\r\n\r\nMicrodermabrasion is an ideal pre-cursor to botox/dermal fillers and peels for maximum aesthetic results. Refer to your skin care consultant for a schedule to suit your aesthetics programme.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>10. Can I use make up after my treatment?</strong>\r\n\r\nYes – It is recommended that you apply only mineral make up immediately after and as part of your home-care programme. We recommend the BPC Mineral Make Up range.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>11. How do I look after my skin at home?</strong>\r\n\r\nLooking after your skin with a good daily home-care programme is most important in order to maintain the benefits that your NaturePeel microdermabrasion has just delivered.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nWe recommend the ASAP (Australian Skin Approved Products) range. The range is simple to use and suitable for all skin types.\r\n\r\nASAP Facial Cleanser – morning and evening\r\n\r\nASAP Facial Scrub – 2-3 times a week initially, building to daily use\r\n\r\nASAP Moisturiser with SPF30+ daily\r\n\r\nASAP Anti Ageing Night Cream – not required for young, healthy skin\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Why ASAP?</span></strong>\r\n\r\nASAP is classed as a cosmeceutical range because of the high level of active ingredients present. Active ingredients allow for quicker results and are beneficial in treating a variety of skin conditions.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nDaily use of the ASAP range will reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, acne, acne scarring, hyperpigmentation, open pores, sun damage and uneven skin tone.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>ASAP uses glycolic acid, a naturally derived alpha hydroxy acid, from sugarcane. It is the smallest of the alpha hydroxy acid molecules to enhance the skin’s natural exfoliation. It does this by dissolving the intercellular glue that binds the dead skin cells together. The dead skin cells are sloughed away making way for newer cells.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Studies      have demonstrated glycolic acid tends to increase the rate of skin renewal      which aids in achieving and maintaining a youthful appearance.</li>\r\n	<li>Glycolic      acid has the ability to fade and even out skin discolouration, age spots      and pigmentation.</li>\r\n	<li>Glycolic      acid is highly effective in treating skin that is prone to heavy oil      production and/or acne. Glycolic acid along with Salicylic acid have the      ability to exfoliate dead skin cells within the pore; which in turns      reduces problems such as blackheads, acne and white heads. This cleaning      out stage varies, depending on the condition of the skin and diet.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nWhat to expect\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>If      you have never used an AHA product before, or are concerned about possibly      sensitivity, you can work up to the full treatment, ie. Start by using the      product every other day.</li>\r\n	<li>It      is common for AHA based products to cause some initial tingling, a pink      glow or redness and/or an itching sensation for the first few days. This      will diminish with the application of a moisturiser.</li>\r\n	<li>Initial      use may cause a brief period of break out (eg. Increase in acne). This      occurs because glycolic acid is working to purify the skin of toxins.</li>\r\n	<li>Any      slight dryness experienced indicates that the dead skin cells are      effectively being loosened. This stage only lasts a few days and is quite      normal. If you experience dry patches when using a glycolic product you      can apply a bland moisturiser to the effected area.</li>\r\n	<li>For      many people using glycolic acid products, the skin will adapt to treatment      over time. This allows for the potency of treatment to be slowly increased      in order to provide optimal results.</li>\r\n	<li>Many      people make the mistake of thinking that if a little is good, more is      better. In the case of ASAP, the product is concentrated, more will not      speed up the process but it increases the risk of unwanted irritation.

The Naturepeel  MACROdermabrasion™ removes the hard top layer of the epidermis (stratum corneum) exposing the fresher and softer skin layers beneath. Now creams with antioxidants and AHA’s have a chance to get down to the lower layers of your skin. There they will be even more effective. More of the thick layers of the stratum corneum are removed by the Naturepeel than any of the other microdermabrasion methods currently on the market... thus allowing even better penetration.</em>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<em>It is well documented within published medical literature that with the upper layers of the epidermis removed, the use of ultrasound technology to enhance the delivery of such cream (SonoPhoresis) allows for much better skin penetration and absorption. DermaPhoresis™; a newly patented process is an advancement on SonoPhoresis by combining MACROdermabrasion™ with low frequency UltraSound, the safety issues associated with SonoPhoresis have been eliminated.</em>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<em>DermaPhoresis utilizes the sound waves of a 3 MHz UltraSound device to create an effect on the skin termed \"cavitation\". Cavitation by the ultrasound device produces an \"air bubble\" like effect in the lipid bilayer of the stratum corneum. This allows increased permeability of the skin for a short time. The specially formulated cream (comprised of effective antioxidants and AHA\'s in concentrations not found in many over?the?counter products) is gently massaged in a repetitive and soothing circular motion into the skin with an ultrasonic device. A protective gel is then applied and clients leave the salon feeling \"wonderful!\"</em>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<em>Clients report feeling immediate and continuous tightening, reduction of fine lines, wrinkles and stretch marks and softer and smoother skin. They have noticed that their skin is more resilient and friends have told them that they seem to have that \"youthful glow\" about them. Medical researches have indicated that this system provides more consistent cosmetic benefits when compared with other modalities such as non-invasive laser resurfacing, photofacials and photorejuvenation.

What is microdermabrasion?</strong>\r\n\r\nMicrodermabrasion is a non-invasive, non-surgical procedure that removes the top layer of dead skin cells from the surface of the skin, thereby accelerating the skin’s natural renewal cycle, leaving it revitalised and refreshed.\r\n<div><strong>2. Why choose NaturePeel microdermabrasion?</strong></div>\r\n<div>NaturePeel uses non-toxic <strong>natural</strong> <strong>salt </strong>as opposed to Aluminium Oxide, which is used in most other microdermabrasion systems. Salt’s natural cleansing and healing properties make it an ideal exfoliant that can be easily and thoroughly removed from the skin. It does not carry any of the health-associated risks that have been linked with Aluminium Oxide.</div>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nNaturePeel technology delivers an effective yet gentle exfoliation of the skin. It includes a deep skin treatment delivered via ultrasound that further boosts collagen and elastin production, resulting in smooth and noticeably fresher looking skin.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>3. Who benefits from this treatment?</strong>\r\n\r\nNaturePeel microdermabrasion is suitable for all skin types, colours, conditions and age groups.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>4. How often can I have a treatment? How soon will I see results?</strong>\r\n\r\nNaturePeel microdermabrasion is an ideal treatment to revitalise your skin as a one-off luxury facial treatment with immediate results. To enhance and maintain a good and healthy skin condition, a NaturePeel microdermabrasion is recommended about once every 2 months.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nIf you are being treated for a particular skin condition, then a course of 6-7 treatments, scheduled at 2-3 weeks apart will bring the best results.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>5. What specific skin conditions will it help?</strong>\r\n\r\nNaturePeel microdermabrasion can help most skin conditions and is most effective in\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Treating Active Acne and Acne Prone Skin</li>\r\n	<li>Acne Scarring</li>\r\n	<li>Reducing Fine Lines and Wrinkles</li>\r\n	<li>Treating Hyperpigmentation</li>\r\n	<li>Treating Age Spots – Hands and Face</li>\r\n	<li>Reducing Mature Stretch Marks</li>\r\n	<li>Improving Poor Skin Tone and Texture</li>\r\n	<li>Reduction of Open Pores</li>\r\n	<li>Elimination of Black Heads and White Heads</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>6. Is the procedure painful?</strong>\r\n\r\nNo. Most people describe the process of microdermabrasion as ‘scratchy’ when the salt is passed against the skin. Some people experience a warm or tingling sensation in the treatment areas when the Vitamin enriched masque is applied. However at no time should you expect to experience lingering discomfort.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>7. What extent of ‘down time’ should I expect? </strong>Microdermabrasion is referred to the ‘lunch time peel’ because the procedure is so brief (30 –60 mins) and you can continue with your day uninterrupted. When you leave, you will notice smoother, more refreshed skin that glows!\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>8. Who is it NOT recommended for?</strong>\r\n\r\nNaturePeel microdermabrasion is not recommended if\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>You are pregnant and within the first 20 weeks</li>\r\n	<li>You have been treated with Roaccutane for acne in the last 6 months</li>\r\n	<li>You have cold sores or active herpes simplex</li>\r\n	<li>You have received recent radiation for cancer treatment to the treatment area</li>\r\n	<li>You have Keloid scarring</li>\r\n	<li>You suffer from severe Rosacea</li>\r\n	<li>You have received botox/dermal fillers in the treatment area within the last 2 weeks</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<strong>9. Will it interfere with any other aesthetic treatments I am having?</strong>\r\n\r\nMicrodermabrasion is an ideal pre-cursor to botox/dermal fillers and peels for maximum aesthetic results. Refer to your skin care consultant for a schedule to suit your aesthetics programme.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>10. Can I use make up after my treatment?</strong>\r\n\r\nYes – It is recommended that you apply only mineral make up immediately after and as part of your home-care programme. We recommend the BPC Mineral Make Up range.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>11. How do I look after my skin at home?</strong>\r\n\r\nLooking after your skin with a good daily home-care programme is most important in order to maintain the benefits that your NaturePeel microdermabrasion has just delivered.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nWe recommend the ASAP (Australian Skin Approved Products) range. The range is simple to use and suitable for all skin types.\r\n\r\nASAP Facial Cleanser – morning and evening\r\n\r\nASAP Facial Scrub – 2-3 times a week initially, building to daily use\r\n\r\nASAP Moisturiser with SPF30+ daily\r\n\r\nASAP Anti Ageing Night Cream – not required for young, healthy skin\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Why ASAP?</span></strong>\r\n\r\nASAP is classed as a cosmeceutical range because of the high level of active ingredients present. Active ingredients allow for quicker results and are beneficial in treating a variety of skin conditions.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nDaily use of the ASAP range will reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, acne, acne scarring, hyperpigmentation, open pores, sun damage and uneven skin tone.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>ASAP uses glycolic acid, a naturally derived alpha hydroxy acid, from sugarcane. It is the smallest of the alpha hydroxy acid molecules to enhance the skin’s natural exfoliation. It does this by dissolving the intercellular glue that binds the dead skin cells together. The dead skin cells are sloughed away making way for newer cells.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Studies      have demonstrated glycolic acid tends to increase the rate of skin renewal      which aids in achieving and maintaining a youthful appearance.</li>\r\n	<li>Glycolic      acid has the ability to fade and even out skin discolouration, age spots      and pigmentation.</li>\r\n	<li>Glycolic      acid is highly effective in treating skin that is prone to heavy oil      production and/or acne. Glycolic acid along with Salicylic acid have the      ability to exfoliate dead skin cells within the pore; which in turns      reduces problems such as blackheads, acne and white heads. This cleaning      out stage varies, depending on the condition of the skin and diet.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nWhat to expect\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>If      you have never used an AHA product before, or are concerned about possibly      sensitivity, you can work up to the full treatment, ie. Start by using the      product every other day.</li>\r\n	<li>It      is common for AHA based products to cause some initial tingling, a pink      glow or redness and/or an itching sensation for the first few days. This      will diminish with the application of a moisturiser.</li>\r\n	<li>Initial      use may cause a brief period of break out (eg. Increase in acne). This      occurs because glycolic acid is working to purify the skin of toxins.</li>\r\n	<li>Any      slight dryness experienced indicates that the dead skin cells are      effectively being loosened. This stage only lasts a few days and is quite      normal. If you experience dry patches when using a glycolic product you      can apply a bland moisturiser to the effected area.</li>\r\n	<li>For      many people using glycolic acid products, the skin will adapt to treatment      over time. This allows for the potency of treatment to be slowly increased      in order to provide optimal results.</li>\r\n	<li>Many      people make the mistake of thinking that if a little is good, more is      better. In the case of ASAP, the product is concentrated, more will not      speed up the process but it increases the risk of unwanted irritation.      There is no need to rub hard and only a small amount (pearl sized drop) is      required.</li>\r\n	<li>After      approximately 2 weeks you should notice you skin feels smoother and looks      fresher.

The Naturepeel  MACROdermabrasion™ removes the hard top layer of the epidermis (stratum corneum) exposing the fresher and softer skin layers beneath. Now creams with antioxidants and AHA’s have a chance to get down to the lower layers of your skin. There they will be even more effective. More of the thick layers of the stratum corneum are removed by the Naturepeel than any of the other microdermabrasion methods currently on the market... thus allowing even better penetration.</em>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<em>It is well documented within published medical literature that with the upper layers of the epidermis removed, the use of ultrasound technology to enhance the delivery of such cream (SonoPhoresis) allows for much better skin penetration and absorption. DermaPhoresis™; a newly patented process is an advancement on SonoPhoresis by combining MACROdermabrasion™ with low frequency UltraSound, the safety issues associated with SonoPhoresis have been eliminated.</em>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<em>DermaPhoresis utilizes the sound waves of a 3 MHz UltraSound device to create an effect on the skin termed \"cavitation\". Cavitation by the ultrasound device produces an \"air bubble\" like effect in the lipid bilayer of the stratum corneum. This allows increased permeability of the skin for a short time. The specially formulated cream (comprised of effective antioxidants and AHA\'s in concentrations not found in many over?the?counter products) is gently massaged in a repetitive and soothing circular motion into the skin with an ultrasonic device. A protective gel is then applied and clients leave the salon feeling \"wonderful!\"</em>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<em>Clients report feeling immediate and continuous tightening, reduction of fine lines, wrinkles and stretch marks and softer and smoother skin. They have noticed that their skin is more resilient and friends have told them that they seem to have that \"youthful glow\" about them. Medical researches have indicated that this system provides more consistent cosmetic benefits when compared with other modalities such as non-invasive laser resurfacing, photofacials and photorejuvenation.

What is microdermabrasion?</strong>\r\n\r\nMicrodermabrasion is a non-invasive, non-surgical procedure that removes the top layer of dead skin cells from the surface of the skin, thereby accelerating the skin’s natural renewal cycle, leaving it revitalised and refreshed.\r\n<div><strong>2. Why choose NaturePeel microdermabrasion?</strong></div>\r\n<div>NaturePeel uses non-toxic <strong>natural</strong> <strong>salt </strong>as opposed to Aluminium Oxide, which is used in most other microdermabrasion systems. Salt’s natural cleansing and healing properties make it an ideal exfoliant that can be easily and thoroughly removed from the skin. It does not carry any of the health-associated risks that have been linked with Aluminium Oxide.</div>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nNaturePeel technology delivers an effective yet gentle exfoliation of the skin. It includes a deep skin treatment delivered via ultrasound that further boosts collagen and elastin production, resulting in smooth and noticeably fresher looking skin.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>3. Who benefits from this treatment?</strong>\r\n\r\nNaturePeel microdermabrasion is suitable for all skin types, colours, conditions and age groups.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>4. How often can I have a treatment? How soon will I see results?</strong>\r\n\r\nNaturePeel microdermabrasion is an ideal treatment to revitalise your skin as a one-off luxury facial treatment with immediate results. To enhance and maintain a good and healthy skin condition, a NaturePeel microdermabrasion is recommended about once every 2 months.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nIf you are being treated for a particular skin condition, then a course of 6-7 treatments, scheduled at 2-3 weeks apart will bring the best results.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>5. What specific skin conditions will it help?</strong>\r\n\r\nNaturePeel microdermabrasion can help most skin conditions and is most effective in\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Treating Active Acne and Acne Prone Skin</li>\r\n	<li>Acne Scarring</li>\r\n	<li>Reducing Fine Lines and Wrinkles</li>\r\n	<li>Treating Hyperpigmentation</li>\r\n	<li>Treating Age Spots – Hands and Face</li>\r\n	<li>Reducing Mature Stretch Marks</li>\r\n	<li>Improving Poor Skin Tone and Texture</li>\r\n	<li>Reduction of Open Pores</li>\r\n	<li>Elimination of Black Heads and White Heads</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>6. Is the procedure painful?</strong>\r\n\r\nNo. Most people describe the process of microdermabrasion as ‘scratchy’ when the salt is passed against the skin. Some people experience a warm or tingling sensation in the treatment areas when the Vitamin enriched masque is applied. However at no time should you expect to experience lingering discomfort.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>7. What extent of ‘down time’ should I expect? </strong>Microdermabrasion is referred to the ‘lunch time peel’ because the procedure is so brief (30 –60 mins) and you can continue with your day uninterrupted. When you leave, you will notice smoother, more refreshed skin that glows!\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>8. Who is it NOT recommended for?</strong>\r\n\r\nNaturePeel microdermabrasion is not recommended if\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>You are pregnant and within the first 20 weeks</li>\r\n	<li>You have been treated with Roaccutane for acne in the last 6 months</li>\r\n	<li>You have cold sores or active herpes simplex</li>\r\n	<li>You have received recent radiation for cancer treatment to the treatment area</li>\r\n	<li>You have Keloid scarring</li>\r\n	<li>You suffer from severe Rosacea</li>\r\n	<li>You have received botox/dermal fillers in the treatment area within the last 2 weeks</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<strong>9. Will it interfere with any other aesthetic treatments I am having?</strong>\r\n\r\nMicrodermabrasion is an ideal pre-cursor to botox/dermal fillers and peels for maximum aesthetic results. Refer to your skin care consultant for a schedule to suit your aesthetics programme.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>10. Can I use make up after my treatment?</strong>\r\n\r\nYes – It is recommended that you apply only mineral make up immediately after and as part of your home-care programme. We recommend the BPC Mineral Make Up range.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>11. How do I look after my skin at home?</strong>\r\n\r\nLooking after your skin with a good daily home-care programme is most important in order to maintain the benefits that your NaturePeel microdermabrasion has just delivered.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nWe recommend the ASAP (Australian Skin Approved Products) range. The range is simple to use and suitable for all skin types.\r\n\r\nASAP Facial Cleanser – morning and evening\r\n\r\nASAP Facial Scrub – 2-3 times a week initially, building to daily use\r\n\r\nASAP Moisturiser with SPF30+ daily\r\n\r\nASAP Anti Ageing Night Cream – not required for young, healthy skin\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Why ASAP?</span></strong>\r\n\r\nASAP is classed as a cosmeceutical range because of the high level of active ingredients present. Active ingredients allow for quicker results and are beneficial in treating a variety of skin conditions.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nDaily use of the ASAP range will reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, acne, acne scarring, hyperpigmentation, open pores, sun damage and uneven skin tone.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>ASAP uses glycolic acid, a naturally derived alpha hydroxy acid, from sugarcane. It is the smallest of the alpha hydroxy acid molecules to enhance the skin’s natural exfoliation. It does this by dissolving the intercellular glue that binds the dead skin cells together. The dead skin cells are sloughed away making way for newer cells.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Studies      have demonstrated glycolic acid tends to increase the rate of skin renewal      which aids in achieving and maintaining a youthful appearance.</li>\r\n	<li>Glycolic      acid has the ability to fade and even out skin discolouration, age spots      and pigmentation.</li>\r\n	<li>Glycolic      acid is highly effective in treating skin that is prone to heavy oil      production and/or acne. Glycolic acid along with Salicylic acid have the      ability to exfoliate dead skin cells within the pore; which in turns      reduces problems such as blackheads, acne and white heads. This cleaning      out stage varies, depending on the condition of the skin and diet.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nWhat to expect\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>If      you have never used an AHA product before, or are concerned about possibly      sensitivity, you can work up to the full treatment, ie. Start by using the      product every other day.</li>\r\n	<li>It      is common for AHA based products to cause some initial tingling, a pink      glow or redness and/or an itching sensation for the first few days. This      will diminish with the application of a moisturiser.</li>\r\n	<li>Initial      use may cause a brief period of break out (eg. Increase in acne). This      occurs because glycolic acid is working to purify the skin of toxins.</li>\r\n	<li>Any      slight dryness experienced indicates that the dead skin cells are      effectively being loosened. This stage only lasts a few days and is quite      normal. If you experience dry patches when using a glycolic product you      can apply a bland moisturiser to the effected area.</li>\r\n	<li>For      many people using glycolic acid products, the skin will adapt to treatment      over time. This allows for the potency of treatment to be slowly increased      in order to provide optimal results.</li>\r\n	<li>Many      people make the mistake of thinking that if a little is good, more is      better. In the case of ASAP, the product is concentrated, more will not      speed up the process but it increases the risk of unwanted irritation.      There is no need to rub hard and only a small amount (pearl sized drop) is      required.</li>\r\n	<li>After      approximately 2 weeks you should notice you skin feels smoother and looks      fresher. Blotchy and uneven skin tones, including brown spots have started      to fade. Fine lines gradually seem to disappear.</li>\r\n</ul>','Naturepeel','','inherit','closed','open','','44-revision-18','','','2011-04-15 13:53:08','2011-04-15 13:53:08','',44,'http://www.cosmeticmedicaltechnologies.com/uncategorized/44-revision-18/',0,'revision','',0),(559,2,'2011-03-22 13:34:26','2011-03-22 13:34:26','<h1><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-65\" title=\"Therapulse\" src=\"http://www.cosmeticmedicaltechnologies.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/masthead.therapulse.jpg\" alt=\"Therapulse\" width=\"960\" height=\"236\" />&nbsp;\r\n\r\nTherapulse: A non-invasive technique using  software controlled microvoltage impulses for stimulating tissue, in a  portable, easy to use and affordable system.</h1>\r\nTherapulse instigates a focussed repair mechanism, involving the  production of natural chemicals which reduces tissue tension and  inflammation and at the same time increases the rate of tissue repair.

Naturepulse uses programmed patterns of microvoltages, created for the treatment of specific conditions to improve micro-circulation in the treated areas, allowing more nutrients to  be brought to the treatment site.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nThe microvoltages are of such short wavelength no current is  created.  Variations in amplitude, width and frequency affect the  penetrative depth of the impulses:\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Lower frequencies have greater  penetrative depth so that deep muscles, tendons and joints can be  influenced.</li>\r\n	<li>Very high frequencies penetrate only the skin superficial  levels and influence the dermal skin layers and regrowth of cells.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nMicrovoltages are gathered into programme phases and there may be  as many as 250 phases in a single 7-minute programme. The effect of the  signals is to reduce tissue tension – a typical feature of injured  tissue. This relaxation phase is associated with reduction of  inflammation in tissue which itself reduces pressure on small blood  vessels.  This greater flow of blood accelerates delivery of nutrients  to the damaged tissues.  Clinical measurements [1] In Vivo: 2005, indicate  quite clearly that application of the microvoltage signal increases VEGF,  Nitric Oxide and Prostacylins – chemical complexes that reduce  inflammation, relax tissue and improve blood flow through tissue.\r\n<span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"> </span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<div><strong>\r\n</strong>&nbsp;\r\n<table border=\"0\">\r\n<tbody>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td>\r\n<div><img class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-66\" style=\"margin-right: 30px; margin-bottom: 70px;\" title=\"Therapulse from appearanceskincare\" src=\"http://www.cosmeticmedicaltechnologies.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/therapulse1.jpg\" alt=\"Therapulse from appearanceskincare\" width=\"148\" height=\"99\" /></div></td>\r\n<td>Naturepulse is a small, portable, rechargeable battery  operated device for home or clinic use.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nElectrodes are placed around the  area of the injury and each programme is completely built-in to Naturepulse requiring only selection by simple push-key operation.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nAs the programme stimulates tissue to react, reinforcement is  required at regular intervals.

Naturepulse uses programmed patterns of microvoltages, created for the treatment of specific conditions to improve micro-circulation in the treated areas, allowing more nutrients to  be brought to the treatment site.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nThe microvoltages are of such short wavelength no current is  created.  Variations in amplitude, width and frequency affect the  penetrative depth of the impulses:\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Lower frequencies have greater  penetrative depth so that deep muscles, tendons and joints can be  influenced.</li>\r\n	<li>Very high frequencies penetrate only the skin superficial  levels and influence the dermal skin layers and regrowth of cells.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nMicrovoltages are gathered into programme phases and there may be  as many as 250 phases in a single 7-minute programme. The effect of the  signals is to reduce tissue tension – a typical feature of injured  tissue. This relaxation phase is associated with reduction of  inflammation in tissue which itself reduces pressure on small blood  vessels.  This greater flow of blood accelerates delivery of nutrients  to the damaged tissues.  Clinical measurements (In Vivo: 2005) indicate  quite clearly that application of the microvoltage signal increases VEGF,  Nitric Oxide and Prostacylins – chemical complexes that reduce  inflammation, relax tissue and improve blood flow through tissue.\r\n<span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"> </span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<div><strong>\r\n</strong>&nbsp;\r\n<table border=\"0\">\r\n<tbody>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td>\r\n<div><img class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-66\" style=\"margin-right: 30px; margin-bottom: 70px;\" title=\"Therapulse from appearanceskincare\" src=\"http://www.cosmeticmedicaltechnologies.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/therapulse1.jpg\" alt=\"Therapulse from appearanceskincare\" width=\"148\" height=\"99\" /></div></td>\r\n<td>Naturepulse is a small, portable, rechargeable battery  operated device for home or clinic use.&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nElectrodes are placed around the  area of the injury and each programme is completely built-in to Naturepulse requiring only selection by simple push-key operation.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nAs the programme stimulates tissue to react, reinforcement is  required at regular intervals.

Naturepulse uses programmed patterns of microvoltages, created for the treatment of specific conditions to improve micro-circulation in the treated areas, allowing more nutrients to  be brought to the treatment site.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nThe microvoltages are of such short wavelength no current is  created.  Variations in amplitude, width and frequency affect the  penetrative depth of the impulses:\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Lower frequencies have greater  penetrative depth so that deep muscles, tendons and joints can be  influenced.</li>\r\n	<li>Very high frequencies penetrate only the skin superficial  levels and influence the dermal skin layers and regrowth of cells.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nMicrovoltages are gathered into programme phases and there may be  as many as 250 phases in a single 7-minute programme. The effect of the  signals is to reduce tissue tension – a typical feature of injured  tissue. This relaxation phase is associated with reduction of  inflammation in tissue which itself reduces pressure on small blood  vessels.  This greater flow of blood accelerates delivery of nutrients  to the damaged tissues.  Clinical measurements [1] In Vivo: 2005, indicate  quite clearly that application of the microvoltage signal increases VEGF,  Nitric Oxide and Prostacylins – chemical complexes that reduce  inflammation, relax tissue and improve blood flow through tissue.\r\n<span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"> </span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<div><strong>\r\n</strong>&nbsp;\r\n<table border=\"0\">\r\n<tbody>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td>\r\n<div><img class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-66\" style=\"margin-right: 30px; margin-bottom: 70px;\" title=\"Therapulse from appearanceskincare\" src=\"http://www.cosmeticmedicaltechnologies.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/therapulse1.jpg\" alt=\"Therapulse from appearanceskincare\" width=\"148\" height=\"99\" /></div></td>\r\n<td>Naturepulse is a small, portable, rechargeable battery  operated device for home or clinic use.&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nElectrodes are placed around the  area of the injury and each programme is completely built-in to Naturepulse requiring only selection by simple push-key operation.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nAs the programme stimulates tissue to react, reinforcement is  required at regular intervals.

Specific programmes exist for the treatment of specific conditions to accelerate  the natural tissue repair mechanisms.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nElectrodes are placed around the  area of the injury and each programme   is completely built-in to Naturepulse requiring only selection by  simple  push-key operation. The treatment is            more like  acupuncture than electro-therapy.  Impulses are so short-lived             that virtually no current is  generated. Hence Naturepulse PBK does             not operate as  interferrential or TENS-type systems.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nMicrovoltages are gathered into programme phases. There may be  as  many as 250 phases in a single 7-minute programme. The effect of the   signals is to reduce tissue tension – a typical feature of injured   tissue. This relaxation phase is associated with reduction of   inflammation in tissue which itself reduces pressure on small blood   vessels.  This greater flow of blood then accelerates delivery of nutrients   to the damaged tissues.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nVariations in amplitude, width and frequency affect the  penetrative depth of the impulses:\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Lower frequencies have greater  penetrative depth so that deep muscles, tendons and joints can be  influenced.</li>\r\n	<li>Very high frequencies penetrate only the skin superficial  levels and influence the dermal skin layers and regrowth of cells.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nAs the programme stimulates tissue to react, reinforcement is  required   at regular intervals.

It sometimes            feels like a mild buzzing feeling in your skin but it is never uncomfortable.            The system is designed so you can reduce the overall power to suit your            own sensitivity.\r\n\r\n<strong><img src=\"http://www.pbkinternational.com/phy_imgs/aarrow_red1.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"12\" height=\"7\" />How            will it affect my day to day activities?</strong>\r\nWill I still be able to work? You can carry on as normal during the            treatment course. It will not affect your usual activities in any way,            except in that you will begin to feel the benefits within three or four            sessions.\r\n\r\n<strong><img src=\"http://www.pbkinternational.com/phy_imgs/aarrow_red1.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"12\" height=\"7\" />How            many times do I need to come back? </strong>\r\nDepending on the severity and type of your condition you may need to            come back for about ten repeat sessions. This does vary from person            to person but you decide when to stop the treatment – not us.\r\n\r\n<strong><img src=\"http://www.pbkinternational.com/phy_imgs/aarrow_red1.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"12\" height=\"7\" />How            quickly will I notice an effect? </strong>\r\nMost people notice an improvement within three to four sessions. Again            it depends on the severity of the initial condition, but in many cases            patients have reported total loss of pain within eight to ten sessions.\r\n\r\n<strong><img src=\"http://www.pbkinternational.com/phy_imgs/aarrow_red1.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"12\" height=\"7\" />Do            I need to stay on my medication?</strong>\r\nThat is entirely up to you but you should seek your own GP\'s advice.

Naturepulse uses programmed patterns of microvoltages, created for the treatment of specific conditions to improve micro-circulation in the treated areas, allowing more nutrients to  be brought to the treatment site.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nThe microvoltages are of such short wavelength no current is  created.  Variations in amplitude, width and frequency affect the  penetrative depth of the impulses:\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Lower frequencies have greater  penetrative depth so that deep muscles, tendons and joints can be  influenced.</li>\r\n	<li>Very high frequencies penetrate only the skin superficial  levels and influence the dermal skin layers and regrowth of cells.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h2>How It Works</h2>\r\n<div>•VEGF has a number of effects within the blood vessels.</div>\r\n<div>•Secondly, it stimulates the release of Nitric Oxide and Prostacyclin PG12 – these are natural anti-inflammatories which act immediately on surrounding tissue.  This results in a rapid reduction of pain in those tissues</div>\r\n<div>\r\n<div>•Thirdly, the VEGF stimulates the growth of new blood vessels in that region of the body.  This may take a few days to start but the process begins as soon as the local VEGF is released.</div>\r\n<div>\r\n<div>•Relaxes muscle\r\n2.    Stimulates VEGF\r\nDilates vessels – more blood flow</div>\r\n3.  Grows new vessels\r\n3.    Stimulates anti-inflammatories which reduces pain   immediately\r\n4.    Attacks the cause of the pain, not just the symptoms\r\n5.    Removes pain for a long time\r\n6.    Improves muscle strength, mobility and flexibility\r\n\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n<div>•\r\n<div>•Typically a condition may require  5 to 10 repeat sessions initially</div>\r\n<div>•24 to 48 hour intervals       (min. 2 hrs)</div>\r\n<div>•Results can usually be seen and/or felt within 3 to 5 days</div>\r\n</div>\r\n<div>•Firstly it causes the vessels to dilate,  or open up.  This allows more blood flow which brings in more oxygen and nutrients.</div>\r\nMicrovoltages are gathered into programme phases and there may be  as many as 250 phases in a single 7-minute programme. The effect of the  signals is to reduce tissue tension – a typical feature of injured  tissue. This relaxation phase is associated with reduction of  inflammation in tissue which itself reduces pressure on small blood  vessels.  This greater flow of blood accelerates delivery of nutrients  to the damaged tissues.  Clinical measurements [1] In Vivo: 2005, indicate  quite clearly that application of the microvoltage signal increases VEGF,  Nitric Oxide and Prostacylins – chemical complexes that reduce  inflammation, relax tissue and improve blood flow through tissue.\r\n<span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"> </span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nThe            PBK System uses software controlled electronic impulses to stimulate            various processes within damaged tissue including neoangiogenesis. A            range of waveforms, frequencies durations and powers are generated to            specifically accelerate the natural tissue repair mechanisms.\r\n\r\nThese are applied via low voltage impulses through <a href=\"http://www.pbkinternational.com/electrodes.htm\">electrodes</a> - painless yet exceptionally effective. The output of the PBK-2C is            more like acupuncture than electro-therapy. Impulses are so short-lived            that virtually no current is generated. <strong>Hence the PBK-2C does            not operate as interferrential or TENS-type systems</strong> - it is            <a href=\"http://www.pbkinternational.com/unique.htm\">truly unique</a>.\r\n\r\nUsing results from many clinical, cellular and neurological <a href=\"http://www.pbkinternational.com/reports.htm\">studies</a> in University Hospitals the PBK System has been continually modified            so that it outputs a wide range of treatment applications. Studies are            currently underway in a number of sites to find even more treatment            applications. Some <a href=\"http://www.pbkinternational.com/case_foot.htm\">excellent photographs</a> show how dramatically the PBK-2C can effectively treat peripheral ulcerations.\r\n\r\nSpecifically, the PBK System stimulates the natural production of endogenous            Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (<a href=\"http://www.pbkinternational.com/glossary.htm#vegf\">VEGF</a>)            within blood vessels. The consequence of this is an increase in local            blood flow plus the release of a new micro-circulation in the treatment            area. VEGF stimulates the release of local <a href=\"http://www.pbkinternational.com/glossary.htm#no\">Nitric            Oxide</a> and prostacyclin. These agents have an immediate Anti-Inflammatory            effect on tissue resulting in a rapid reduction in pain. Naturally the            enhanced flow of blood also increases oxyhaemoglobin, nutrients and            hormones into those tissues with all the benefits this brings.\r\n\r\nA <a href=\"http://www.pbkinternational.com/invivo.htm\">recently published report</a> details how this            mechanism has been studied. <a href=\"http://www.pbkinternational.com/reports.htm\">Reports</a> discuss            how some of the induced mechanisms have been studied.

Naturepulse uses programmed patterns of microvoltages, created for the treatment of specific conditions to improve micro-circulation in the treated areas, allowing more nutrients to  be brought to the treatment site.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nThe microvoltages are of such short wavelength no current is  created.  Variations in amplitude, width and frequency affect the  penetrative depth of the impulses:\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Lower frequencies have greater  penetrative depth so that deep muscles, tendons and joints can be  influenced.</li>\r\n	<li>Very high frequencies penetrate only the skin superficial  levels and influence the dermal skin layers and regrowth of cells.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nMicrovoltages are gathered into programme phases and there may be  as many as 250 phases in a single 7-minute programme. The effect of the  signals is to reduce tissue tension – a typical feature of injured  tissue. This relaxation phase is associated with reduction of  inflammation in tissue which itself reduces pressure on small blood  vessels.  This greater flow of blood accelerates delivery of nutrients  to the damaged tissues.  Clinical measurements [1] In Vivo: 2005, indicate  quite clearly that application of the microvoltage signal increases VEGF,  Nitric Oxide and Prostacylins – chemical complexes that reduce  inflammation, relax tissue and improve blood flow through tissue.\r\n<span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"> </span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<div><strong>\r\n</strong>&nbsp;\r\n<table border=\"0\">\r\n<tbody>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td>\r\n<div><img class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-66\" style=\"margin-right: 30px; margin-bottom: 70px;\" title=\"Therapulse from appearanceskincare\" src=\"http://www.cosmeticmedicaltechnologies.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/therapulse1.jpg\" alt=\"Therapulse from appearanceskincare\" width=\"148\" height=\"99\" /></div></td>\r\n<td>Naturepulse is a small, portable, rechargeable battery  operated device for home or clinic use.&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nElectrodes are placed around the  area of the injury and each programme is completely built-in to Naturepulse requiring only selection by simple push-key operation.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nAs the programme stimulates tissue to react, reinforcement is  required at regular intervals.

Specific programmes exist for the treatment of specific conditions to accelerate  the natural tissue repair mechanisms.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nElectrodes are placed around the  area of the injury and each programme   is completely built-in to Naturepulse requiring only selection by  simple  push-key operation. The treatment is            more like  acupuncture than electro-therapy.  Impulses are so short-lived             that virtually no current is  generated. Hence Naturepulse PBK does             not operate as  interferrential or TENS-type systems.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nMicrovoltages are gathered into programme phases. There may be  as  many as 250 phases in a single 7-minute programme. The effect of the   signals is to reduce tissue tension – a typical feature of injured   tissue. This relaxation phase is associated with reduction of   inflammation in tissue which itself reduces pressure on small blood   vessels.  This greater flow of blood then accelerates delivery of nutrients   to the damaged tissues.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nVariations in amplitude, width and frequency affect the  penetrative depth of the impulses:\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Lower frequencies have greater  penetrative depth so that deep muscles, tendons and joints can be  influenced.</li>\r\n	<li>Very high frequencies penetrate only the skin superficial  levels and influence the dermal skin layers and regrowth of cells.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nAs the programme stimulates tissue to react, reinforcement is  required   at regular intervals. Typically, 4-6 treatments are required  over a   period of 10-14 days to see a positive outcome.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h2>Naturepulse PBK Therapy AT A Glance</h2>\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Quick and easy to use</li>\r\n	<li>Non invasive</li>\r\n	<li>Painless yet exceptionally effective</li>\r\n	<li>Safe to use on most patients</li>\r\n	<li>Patients feel effects quickly</li>\r\n	<li>Relaxes muscle to accelerate healing</li>\r\n	<li>Stimulates anti-inflammatories which reduces pain immediately</li>\r\n	<li>Attacks the cause of the pain, not just the symptoms</li>\r\n	<li>Removes pain for a long time</li>\r\n	<li>Improves muscle strength, mobility and flexibility</li>\r\n	<li>Wide range of applications: Aesthetic, Physiotherapy and Medical</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h2>How It Works</h2>\r\n<div>\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_615\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"200\" caption=\"VEGF increases after PBK impulse is applied (InVivo: 2005)\"]<img class=\"size-full wp-image-615\" title=\"VEGF Graph\" src=\"http://www.cosmeticmedicaltechnologies.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/VEGF-Graph-200.png\" alt=\"VEGF Graph\" width=\"200\" height=\"133\" />[/caption]\r\n\r\nClinical studies[1] have shown that Naturepulse PBK therapy stimulates the natural production of endogenous            Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF<a href=\"http://www.pbkinternational.com/glossary.htm#vegf\"></a>)             within blood vessels. This increases blood flow by dilating blood vessels plus the release of a new  micro-circulation in the treatment            area.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nVEGF also stimulates the  release of anti-inflammatory, and therefore pain relieving, Nitric Oxide and Prostacyclin PG12 which act immediately on surrounding tissue. Naturally enhanced blood flow also increases  beneficial oxyhaemoglobin, nutrient and            hormone levels within those tissues.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nLastly, VEGF stimulates the growth of new blood vessels in that region of the body.  This may take a few days to start but the process begins as soon as the local VEGF is released.<strong> </strong>\r\n\r\n</div>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<div>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<table border=\"0\">\r\n<tbody>\r\n<tr valign=\"top\">\r\n<td>\r\n<div class=\"mceTemp\">\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_616\" align=\"alignnone\" width=\"200\" caption=\"Face Toning\"]<img class=\"size-full wp-image-616\" title=\"Face Toning\" src=\"http://www.cosmeticmedicaltechnologies.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Face-toning-2a-4-faces-200.png\" alt=\"Face Toning\" width=\"200\" height=\"192\" />[/caption]\r\n\r\n<dl id=\"attachment_590\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"width: 210px;\"> <dt class=\"wp-caption-dt\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-590\" title=\"Leg Toning\" src=\"http://www.cosmeticmedicaltechnologies.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/legs-200.png\" alt=\"Leg Toning\" width=\"200\" height=\"150\" /></dt> <dd class=\"wp-caption-dd\">Leg Toning</dd> </dl></div>\r\n&nbsp;</td>\r\n<td>\r\n<h2>Aesthetic Applications</h2>\r\nGently applied through tiny electrodes attached to the skin,   Naturepulse PBK provides a revolutionary new approach to electro-therapy using a proven technique designed to stimulate rejuvenation.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nNaturepulse PBK therapy increases the production of the body\'s natural  chemicals that relax tissue and stimulate repair as well as improving  local microcirculation.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nSpecially programmed software controlled electrical impulses improve muscle tone and skin quality in response to oxygenation (TCP02) and other essential natural components to develop a more youthful and toned appearance.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>Treatments include:</strong>\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li> Facial rejuvenation and improvement of fine lines and wrinkles</li>\r\n	<li>Non-surgical facelift through improved jaw line muscle tension</li>\r\n	<li>General facial skin tone improvement via increased microcirculation</li>\r\n	<li>Upper and lower leg muscle tone improvement affecting leg shapeliness and reduction in cellulite</li>\r\n	<li>Breast firming and toning</li>\r\n	<li>Lip plumping</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n<tr valign=\"top\">\r\n<td><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-595\" title=\"Muscular Pain Treatment - 200\" src=\"http://www.cosmeticmedicaltechnologies.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Muscular-Pain-Treatment-200.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"237\" /><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-593\" title=\"Shoulder - 200\" src=\"http://www.cosmeticmedicaltechnologies.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Shoulder-200.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"150\" />\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-592\" title=\"Elbow - 200\" src=\"http://www.cosmeticmedicaltechnologies.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Elbow-200.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"150\" /><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-594\" title=\"Ankle - 200\" src=\"http://www.cosmeticmedicaltechnologies.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Ankle-200.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"150\" /></td>\r\n<td>\r\n<h2>Physiotherapy Applications</h2>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nFor the immediate relief of pain caused by acute muscle and joint  pain conditions – the muscle tear on the rugby or football pitch, the  twisting of the knee when skiing, the Achilles tendon problem or frozen  shoulder.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nFor chronic conditions, Naturepulse reduces pain associated with  long-term injury and ageing.

In MoleMax™, we have the ability to capture, store and analyse detailed lesion images over time to facilitate accurate historical image comparison and monitoring.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nMoleMax™ systems allow; precise measurements, retention of data with patient records for audit purposes, maintenance of patient confidentiality and operation by skin-trained nursing staff to allow periodic examination of latest images by a consultant.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nThe important financial consideration is that, at this time, thousands of suspect lesions are excised as a matter of course and at a total cost of near £500 per lesion (examination/excision/laboratory analysis). This represents millions of pounds of NHS budget. However, some 85% of lesions prove to have been benign.  With lesions on record for later comparison MoleMax™ gives confidence so that an informed decision can be made regarding excision.  Molemax is therefore a cost effective option.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<table border=\"0\">\r\n<tbody>\r\n<tr valign=\"top\">\r\n<td>[slideshow id=1]</td>\r\n<td style=\"padding-left: 10px;\">\r\n<h3>MoleMax™ Features</h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>All major MoleMax™ systems use a top-quality zoom camera with in-built direct lighting for body area location macro images</li>\r\n	<li>By attaching a micro ELM lens, direct contact images of lesions can  be accurately imaged with magnifications of 20, 30 or 40x.

Specific programmes exist for the treatment of specific conditions to accelerate  the natural tissue repair mechanisms.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nElectrodes are placed around the  area of the injury and each programme   is completely built-in to Naturepulse requiring only selection by  simple  push-key operation. The treatment is            more like  acupuncture than electro-therapy.  Impulses are so short-lived             that virtually no current is  generated. Hence Naturepulse PBK does             not operate as  interferrential or TENS-type systems.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nMicrovoltages are gathered into programme phases. There may be  as  many as 250 phases in a single 7-minute programme. The effect of the   signals is to reduce tissue tension – a typical feature of injured   tissue. This relaxation phase is associated with reduction of   inflammation in tissue which itself reduces pressure on small blood   vessels.  This greater flow of blood then accelerates delivery of nutrients   to the damaged tissues.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nVariations in amplitude, width and frequency affect the  penetrative depth of the impulses:\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Lower frequencies have greater  penetrative depth so that deep muscles, tendons and joints can be  influenced.</li>\r\n	<li>Very high frequencies penetrate only the skin superficial  levels and influence the dermal skin layers and regrowth of cells.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nAs the programme stimulates tissue to react, reinforcement is  required   at regular intervals.

It sometimes            feels like a mild buzzing feeling in your skin but it is never uncomfortable.            The system is designed so you can reduce the overall power to suit your            own sensitivity.\r\n\r\n<strong><img src=\"http://www.pbkinternational.com/phy_imgs/aarrow_red1.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"12\" height=\"7\" />How            will it affect my day to day activities?</strong>\r\nWill I still be able to work? You can carry on as normal during the            treatment course.

Specific programmes exist for the treatment of specific conditions to accelerate  the natural tissue repair mechanisms.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nElectrodes are placed around the  area of the injury and each programme   is completely built-in to Naturepulse requiring only selection by  simple  push-key operation. The treatment is            more like  acupuncture than electro-therapy.  Impulses are so short-lived             that virtually no current is  generated. Hence Naturepulse PBK does             not operate as  interferrential or TENS-type systems.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nMicrovoltages are gathered into programme phases. There may be  as  many as 250 phases in a single 7-minute programme. The effect of the   signals is to reduce tissue tension – a typical feature of injured   tissue. This relaxation phase is associated with reduction of   inflammation in tissue which itself reduces pressure on small blood   vessels.  This greater flow of blood then accelerates delivery of nutrients   to the damaged tissues.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nVariations in amplitude, width and frequency affect the  penetrative depth of the impulses:\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Lower frequencies have greater  penetrative depth so that deep muscles, tendons and joints can be  influenced.</li>\r\n	<li>Very high frequencies penetrate only the skin superficial  levels and influence the dermal skin layers and regrowth of cells.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nAs the programme stimulates tissue to react, reinforcement is  required   at regular intervals. Typically, 4-6 treatments are required  over a   period of 10-14 days to see a positive outcome.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<div>\r\n<table border=\"0\">\r\n<tbody>\r\n<tr valign=\"top\">\r\n<td style=\"width: 60%;\">\r\n<h2>How It Works</h2>\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_615\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"200\" caption=\"VEGF increases after PBK impulse is applied (InVivo: 2005)\"]<img class=\"size-full wp-image-615 \" title=\"VEGF Graph\" src=\"http://www.cosmeticmedicaltechnologies.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/VEGF-Graph-200.png\" alt=\"VEGF Graph\" width=\"200\" height=\"133\" />[/caption]\r\n\r\nClinical studies[1] have shown that Naturepulse  PBK therapy  stimulates the natural production of endogenous             Vascular  Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF)             within blood  vessels. This  increases blood flow by dilating blood vessels plus the  release of a new   micro-circulation in the treatment            area.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nVEGF  also stimulates the  release of anti-inflammatory, and therefore  pain  relieving, Nitric Oxide and Prostacyclin PG12 which act  immediately on  surrounding tissue. Naturally enhanced blood flow also  increases   beneficial oxyhaemoglobin, nutrient and            hormone  levels  within those tissues.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nLastly, VEGF stimulates the growth  of new blood vessels in that  region of the body.  This may take a few  days to start but the process  begins as soon as the local VEGF is  released.</td>\r\n<td style=\"padding-left:

It sometimes            feels like a mild buzzing feeling in your skin but it is never uncomfortable.            The system is designed so you can reduce the overall power to suit your            own sensitivity.\r\n\r\n<strong><img src=\"http://www.pbkinternational.com/phy_imgs/aarrow_red1.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"12\" height=\"7\" />How            will it affect my day to day activities?</strong>\r\nWill I still be able to work? You can carry on as normal during the            treatment course. It will not affect your usual activities in any way,            except in that you will begin to feel the benefits within three or four            sessions.\r\n\r\n<strong><img src=\"http://www.pbkinternational.com/phy_imgs/aarrow_red1.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"12\" height=\"7\" />How            many times do I need to come back? </strong>\r\nDepending on the severity and type of your condition you may need to            come back for about ten repeat sessions. This does vary from person            to person but you decide when to stop the treatment – not us.\r\n\r\n<strong><img src=\"http://www.pbkinternational.com/phy_imgs/aarrow_red1.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"12\" height=\"7\" />How            quickly will I notice an effect? </strong>\r\nMost people notice an improvement within three to four sessions. Again            it depends on the severity of the initial condition, but in many cases            patients have reported total loss of pain within eight to ten sessions.\r\n\r\n<strong><img src=\"http://www.pbkinternational.com/phy_imgs/aarrow_red1.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"12\" height=\"7\" />Do            I need to stay on my medication?</strong>\r\nThat is entirely up to you but you should seek your own GP\'s advice.

Specific programmes exist for the treatment of specific conditions to accelerate  the natural tissue repair mechanisms.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nElectrodes are placed around the  area of the injury and each programme   is completely built-in to Naturepulse requiring only selection by  simple  push-key operation. The treatment is            more like  acupuncture than electro-therapy.  Impulses are so short-lived             that virtually no current is  generated. Hence Naturepulse PBK does             not operate as  interferrential or TENS-type systems.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nMicrovoltages are gathered into programme phases. There may be  as  many as 250 phases in a single 7-minute programme. The effect of the   signals is to reduce tissue tension – a typical feature of injured   tissue. This relaxation phase is associated with reduction of   inflammation in tissue which itself reduces pressure on small blood   vessels.  This greater flow of blood then accelerates delivery of nutrients   to the damaged tissues.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nVariations in amplitude, width and frequency affect the  penetrative depth of the impulses:\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Lower frequencies have greater  penetrative depth so that deep muscles, tendons and joints can be  influenced.</li>\r\n	<li>Very high frequencies penetrate only the skin superficial  levels and influence the dermal skin layers and regrowth of cells.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nAs the programme stimulates tissue to react, reinforcement is  required   at regular intervals. Typically, 4-6 treatments are required  over a   period of 10-14 days to see a positive outcome.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<div>\r\n<table border=\"0\">\r\n<tbody>\r\n<tr valign=\"top\">\r\n<td style=\"width: 60%;\">\r\n<h2>How It Works</h2>\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_615\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"200\" caption=\"VEGF increases after PBK impulse is applied (InVivo: 2005)\"]<img class=\"size-full wp-image-615 \" title=\"VEGF Graph\" src=\"http://www.cosmeticmedicaltechnologies.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/VEGF-Graph-200.png\" alt=\"VEGF Graph\" width=\"200\" height=\"133\" />[/caption]\r\n\r\nClinical studies[1] have shown that Naturepulse  PBK therapy  stimulates the natural production of endogenous             Vascular  Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF)             within blood  vessels. This  increases blood flow by dilating blood vessels plus the  release of a new   micro-circulation in the treatment            area.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nVEGF  also stimulates the  release of anti-inflammatory, and therefore  pain  relieving, Nitric Oxide and Prostacyclin PG12 which act  immediately on  surrounding tissue. Naturally enhanced blood flow also  increases   beneficial oxyhaemoglobin, nutrient and            hormone  levels  within those tissues.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nLastly, VEGF stimulates the growth  of new blood vessels in that  region of the body.  This may take a few  days to start but the process  begins as soon as the local VEGF is  released.</td>\r\n<td style=\"padding-left:

It sometimes            feels like a mild buzzing feeling in your skin but it is never uncomfortable.            The system is designed so you can reduce the overall power to suit your            own sensitivity.\r\n\r\n<strong><img src=\"http://www.pbkinternational.com/phy_imgs/aarrow_red1.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"12\" height=\"7\" />How            will it affect my day to day activities?</strong>\r\nWill I still be able to work? You can carry on as normal during the            treatment course. It will not affect your usual activities in any way,            except in that you will begin to feel the benefits within three or four            sessions.\r\n\r\n<strong><img src=\"http://www.pbkinternational.com/phy_imgs/aarrow_red1.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"12\" height=\"7\" />How            many times do I need to come back? </strong>\r\nDepending on the severity and type of your condition you may need to            come back for about ten repeat sessions. This does vary from person            to person but you decide when to stop the treatment – not us.\r\n\r\n<strong><img src=\"http://www.pbkinternational.com/phy_imgs/aarrow_red1.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"12\" height=\"7\" />How            quickly will I notice an effect? </strong>\r\nMost people notice an improvement within three to four sessions. Again            it depends on the severity of the initial condition, but in many cases            patients have reported total loss of pain within eight to ten sessions.\r\n\r\n<strong><img src=\"http://www.pbkinternational.com/phy_imgs/aarrow_red1.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"12\" height=\"7\" />Do            I need to stay on my medication?</strong>\r\nThat is entirely up to you but you should seek your own GP\'s advice.

The Naturepeel  MACROdermabrasion™ removes the hard top layer of the epidermis (stratum corneum) exposing the fresher and softer skin layers beneath. Now creams with antioxidants and AHA’s have a chance to get down to the lower layers of your skin. There they will be even more effective. More of the thick layers of the stratum corneum are removed by the Naturepeel than any of the other microdermabrasion methods currently on the market... thus allowing even better penetration.</em>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<em>It is well documented within published medical literature that with the upper layers of the epidermis removed, the use of ultrasound technology to enhance the delivery of such cream (SonoPhoresis) allows for much better skin penetration and absorption. DermaPhoresis™; a newly patented process is an advancement on SonoPhoresis by combining MACROdermabrasion™ with low frequency UltraSound, the safety issues associated with SonoPhoresis have been eliminated.</em>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<em>DermaPhoresis utilizes the sound waves of a 3 MHz UltraSound device to create an effect on the skin termed \"cavitation\". Cavitation by the ultrasound device produces an \"air bubble\" like effect in the lipid bilayer of the stratum corneum. This allows increased permeability of the skin for a short time. The specially formulated cream (comprised of effective antioxidants and AHA\'s in concentrations not found in many over?the?counter products) is gently massaged in a repetitive and soothing circular motion into the skin with an ultrasonic device. A protective gel is then applied and clients leave the salon feeling \"wonderful!\"</em>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<em>Clients report feeling immediate and continuous tightening, reduction of fine lines, wrinkles and stretch marks and softer and smoother skin. They have noticed that their skin is more resilient and friends have told them that they seem to have that \"youthful glow\" about them. Medical researches have indicated that this system provides more consistent cosmetic benefits when compared with other modalities such as non-invasive laser resurfacing, photofacials and photorejuvenation.

What is microdermabrasion?</strong>\r\n\r\nMicrodermabrasion is a non-invasive, non-surgical procedure that removes the top layer of dead skin cells from the surface of the skin, thereby accelerating the skin’s natural renewal cycle, leaving it revitalised and refreshed.\r\n<div><strong>2. Why choose NaturePeel microdermabrasion?</strong></div>\r\n<div>NaturePeel uses non-toxic <strong>natural</strong> <strong>salt </strong>as opposed to Aluminium Oxide, which is used in most other microdermabrasion systems. Salt’s natural cleansing and healing properties make it an ideal exfoliant that can be easily and thoroughly removed from the skin. It does not carry any of the health-associated risks that have been linked with Aluminium Oxide.</div>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nNaturePeel technology delivers an effective yet gentle exfoliation of the skin. It includes a deep skin treatment delivered via ultrasound that further boosts collagen and elastin production, resulting in smooth and noticeably fresher looking skin.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>3. Who benefits from this treatment?</strong>\r\n\r\nNaturePeel microdermabrasion is suitable for all skin types, colours, conditions and age groups.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>4. How often can I have a treatment? How soon will I see results?</strong>\r\n\r\nNaturePeel microdermabrasion is an ideal treatment to revitalise your skin as a one-off luxury facial treatment with immediate results. To enhance and maintain a good and healthy skin condition, a NaturePeel microdermabrasion is recommended about once every 2 months.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nIf you are being treated for a particular skin condition, then a course of 6-7 treatments, scheduled at 2-3 weeks apart will bring the best results.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>5. What specific skin conditions will it help?</strong>\r\n\r\nNaturePeel microdermabrasion can help most skin conditions and is most effective in\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Treating Active Acne and Acne Prone Skin</li>\r\n	<li>Acne Scarring</li>\r\n	<li>Reducing Fine Lines and Wrinkles</li>\r\n	<li>Treating Hyperpigmentation</li>\r\n	<li>Treating Age Spots – Hands and Face</li>\r\n	<li>Reducing Mature Stretch Marks</li>\r\n	<li>Improving Poor Skin Tone and Texture</li>\r\n	<li>Reduction of Open Pores</li>\r\n	<li>Elimination of Black Heads and White Heads</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>6. Is the procedure painful?</strong>\r\n\r\nNo. Most people describe the process of microdermabrasion as ‘scratchy’ when the salt is passed against the skin. Some people experience a warm or tingling sensation in the treatment areas when the Vitamin enriched masque is applied. However at no time should you expect to experience lingering discomfort.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>7. What extent of ‘down time’ should I expect? </strong>Microdermabrasion is referred to the ‘lunch time peel’ because the procedure is so brief (30 –60 mins) and you can continue with your day uninterrupted. When you leave, you will notice smoother, more refreshed skin that glows!\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>8. Who is it NOT recommended for?</strong>\r\n\r\nNaturePeel microdermabrasion is not recommended if\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>You are pregnant and within the first 20 weeks</li>\r\n	<li>You have been treated with Roaccutane for acne in the last 6 months</li>\r\n	<li>You have cold sores or active herpes simplex</li>\r\n	<li>You have received recent radiation for cancer treatment to the treatment area</li>\r\n	<li>You have Keloid scarring</li>\r\n	<li>You suffer from severe Rosacea</li>\r\n	<li>You have received botox/dermal fillers in the treatment area within the last 2 weeks</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<strong>9. Will it interfere with any other aesthetic treatments I am having?</strong>\r\n\r\nMicrodermabrasion is an ideal pre-cursor to botox/dermal fillers and peels for maximum aesthetic results. Refer to your skin care consultant for a schedule to suit your aesthetics programme.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>10. Can I use make up after my treatment?</strong>\r\n\r\nYes – It is recommended that you apply only mineral make up immediately after and as part of your home-care programme. We recommend the BPC Mineral Make Up range.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>11. How do I look after my skin at home?</strong>\r\n\r\nLooking after your skin with a good daily home-care programme is most important in order to maintain the benefits that your NaturePeel microdermabrasion has just delivered.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nWe recommend the ASAP (Australian Skin Approved Products) range. The range is simple to use and suitable for all skin types.\r\n\r\nASAP Facial Cleanser – morning and evening\r\n\r\nASAP Facial Scrub – 2-3 times a week initially, building to daily use\r\n\r\nASAP Moisturiser with SPF30+ daily\r\n\r\nASAP Anti Ageing Night Cream – not required for young, healthy skin\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Why ASAP?</span></strong>\r\n\r\nASAP is classed as a cosmeceutical range because of the high level of active ingredients present. Active ingredients allow for quicker results and are beneficial in treating a variety of skin conditions.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nDaily use of the ASAP range will reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, acne, acne scarring, hyperpigmentation, open pores, sun damage and uneven skin tone.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>ASAP uses glycolic acid, a naturally derived alpha hydroxy acid, from sugarcane. It is the smallest of the alpha hydroxy acid molecules to enhance the skin’s natural exfoliation. It does this by dissolving the intercellular glue that binds the dead skin cells together. The dead skin cells are sloughed away making way for newer cells.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Studies      have demonstrated glycolic acid tends to increase the rate of skin renewal      which aids in achieving and maintaining a youthful appearance.</li>\r\n	<li>Glycolic      acid has the ability to fade and even out skin discolouration, age spots      and pigmentation.</li>\r\n	<li>Glycolic      acid is highly effective in treating skin that is prone to heavy oil      production and/or acne. Glycolic acid along with Salicylic acid have the      ability to exfoliate dead skin cells within the pore; which in turns      reduces problems such as blackheads, acne and white heads. This cleaning      out stage varies, depending on the condition of the skin and diet.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nWhat to expect\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>If      you have never used an AHA product before, or are concerned about possibly      sensitivity, you can work up to the full treatment, ie. Start by using the      product every other day.</li>\r\n	<li>It      is common for AHA based products to cause some initial tingling, a pink      glow or redness and/or an itching sensation for the first few days. This      will diminish with the application of a moisturiser.</li>\r\n	<li>Initial      use may cause a brief period of break out (eg. Increase in acne). This      occurs because glycolic acid is working to purify the skin of toxins.</li>\r\n	<li>Any      slight dryness experienced indicates that the dead skin cells are      effectively being loosened. This stage only lasts a few days and is quite      normal. If you experience dry patches when using a glycolic product you      can apply a bland moisturiser to the effected area.</li>\r\n	<li>For      many people using glycolic acid products, the skin will adapt to treatment      over time. This allows for the potency of treatment to be slowly increased      in order to provide optimal results.</li>\r\n	<li>Many      people make the mistake of thinking that if a little is good, more is      better. In the case of ASAP, the product is concentrated, more will not      speed up the process but it increases the risk of unwanted irritation.      There is no need to rub hard and only a small amount (pearl sized drop) is      required.</li>\r\n	<li>After      approximately 2 weeks you should notice you skin feels smoother and looks      fresher. Blotchy and uneven skin tones, including brown spots have started      to fade. Fine lines gradually seem to disappear.</li>\r\n</ul>','Naturepeel','','inherit','closed','open','','44-revision-19','','','2011-04-15 13:53:27','2011-04-15 13:53:27','',44,'http://www.cosmeticmedicaltechnologies.com/uncategorized/44-revision-19/',0,'revision','',0),
