Naturepeel uses soluble, non toxic salt as a gentle, natural  abrasive to remove the top layer of dead skin cells, thereby  accelerating the renewal cycle of the skin, leaving it <strong>fresh, clear and youthful</strong>.

&nbsp;

Following 10 years experience of natural salt based  microdermabrasion, CMT has demonstrated and established the  exceptionally good results obtained in collagen renewal and skin  restructuring.

The Naturepeel programme uniquely combines an ultrasound protocol  “Dermaphoresis” to enhance the result. This process involves a vitamin  mask applied to the skin after the salt treatment and the contents are  driven into the skin using the integrated ultrasound.

The result is an <strong>instantly recognisable rejuvenation effect</strong>,  far superior to anything achieved by other devices. Microdermabrasion  is one of the most popular aesthetic procedures. Naturepeel combines the  benefits of salt, with its natural healing properties, to this  universally recognised and effective procedure. In addition to typical  facial treatments, Naturepeel Microdermabrasion also opens up  significant treatment options for difficult conditions such as active  acne and mature stretch marks.

Naturepeel includes a  complete therapeutic ultrasound unit, used to infuse a specially  formulated vitamin mask into the skin after the salt microdermabrasion.  This combination significantly improves collagen renewal and skin  restructuring.

&nbsp;

<strong>Simple and safe</strong>, a typical Naturepeel™ treatment can be  either a luxury facial treatment or part of a clinically effective  programme. Naturepeel’s single use patient circuit, complete with its  specially designed hand piece delivers pure salt to remove the dead  cells from the treatment area. In typically three easy passes, the dead  cell layer of the skin is successfully removed.

<em>DermaPhoresis™</em>

&nbsp;

<em>Apart from the well?known skin polishing and smoothing effects of Microdermabrasion, another unseen benefit, increased permeability of the skin to most Vitamin C, Vitamin E, and other antioxidant based skin creams.</em>

&nbsp;

<em>The use of low intensity patented ultrasonic "micro?massage" following salt micro-epidermal abrasion further enhances these effects.</em>

&nbsp;

<em>How does this all work?</em>

&nbsp;

<em>Well, consider the outer layer of your skin (stratum corneum) as a protective cuticle that has become thickened usually as a result of sun?damage. 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>

&nbsp;

<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>

&nbsp;

<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>

&nbsp;

<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. See what your clients have to say after trying our new skin rejuvenating system!</em>

NATUREPEEL MICRODERMABRASION - F A Q’s

&nbsp;

<strong>1. What is microdermabrasion?</strong>

Microdermabrasion 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.
<div></div>
<div><strong>2. Why choose NaturePeel microdermabrasion?</strong></div>
<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>
&nbsp;

NaturePeel 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.

&nbsp;

<strong>3. Who benefits from this treatment?</strong>

NaturePeel microdermabrasion is suitable for all skin types, colours, conditions and age groups.

&nbsp;

<strong>4. How often can I have a treatment? How soon will I see results?</strong>

NaturePeel 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.

&nbsp;

If 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.

&nbsp;

<strong>5. What specific skin conditions will it help?</strong>

NaturePeel microdermabrasion can help most skin conditions and is most effective in
<ul>
	<li>Treating Active Acne and Acne Prone Skin</li>
	<li>Acne Scarring</li>
	<li>Reducing Fine Lines and Wrinkles</li>
	<li>Treating Hyperpigmentation</li>
	<li>Treating Age Spots – Hands and Face</li>
	<li>Reducing Mature Stretch Marks</li>
	<li>Improving Poor Skin Tone and Texture</li>
	<li>Reduction of Open Pores</li>
	<li>Elimination of Black Heads and White Heads</li>
</ul>
&nbsp;

<strong>6. Is the procedure painful?</strong>

No. 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.

&nbsp;

<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!

&nbsp;

<strong>8. Who is it NOT recommended for?</strong>

NaturePeel microdermabrasion is not recommended if
<ul>
	<li>You are pregnant and within the first 20 weeks</li>
	<li>You have been treated with Roaccutane for acne in the last 6 months</li>
	<li>You have cold sores or active herpes simplex</li>
	<li>You have received recent radiation for cancer treatment to the treatment area</li>
	<li>You have Keloid scarring</li>
	<li>You suffer from severe Rosacea</li>
	<li>You have received botox/dermal fillers in the treatment area within the last 2 weeks</li>
</ul>
<strong>9. Will it interfere with any other aesthetic treatments I am having?</strong>

Microdermabrasion 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.

&nbsp;

<strong>10. Can I use make up after my treatment?</strong>

Yes – 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.

&nbsp;

<strong>11. How do I look after my skin at home?</strong>

Looking 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.

&nbsp;

We recommend the ASAP (Australian Skin Approved Products) range. The range is simple to use and suitable for all skin types.

ASAP Facial Cleanser – morning and evening

ASAP Facial Scrub – 2-3 times a week initially, building to daily use

ASAP Moisturiser with SPF30+ daily

ASAP Anti Ageing Night Cream – not required for young, healthy skin

&nbsp;

<strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Why ASAP?</span></strong>

ASAP 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.

&nbsp;

Daily 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.

&nbsp;
<ul>
	<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>
</ul>
<ul>
	<li>Studies      have demonstrated glycolic acid tends to increase the rate of skin renewal      which aids in achieving and maintaining a youthful appearance.</li>
	<li>Glycolic      acid has the ability to fade and even out skin discolouration, age spots      and pigmentation.</li>
	<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>
</ul>
What to expect
<ul>
	<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>
	<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>
	<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>
	<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>
	<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>
	<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>
	<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>
</ul>
