DermaSweep™

The DermaSweep™ is considered the next generation of microdermabrasion, combining powerful exfoliation and skin resurfacing with potent topical solutions that leave the skin looking brighter, smoother and rejuvenated.

The DermaSweep™ uses a gentle vacuum to lift the skin against the treatment tip, removing the topmost layer. A variety of treatment tips are available to ensure complete customization, and the deepest penetration and exfoliation for individual skin types. Immediately following treatment, the skin feels smooth and refreshed with increased blood flow to the surface. This increased circulation encourages new collagen formation, and firmer, more youthful-looking skin.

DermaSweep™ treatments are often performed with Epi-Infusion, which involves the delivery of skin specific, nutrient-rich topicals that effectively address dehydration, hyperpigmentation and acne. Epi-Infusion treatments are applied under a vacuum pressure, allowing the topicals to penetrate deep into the dermis where these vital nutrients are most effective. Following treatment, the skin appears brighter, tighter and radiantly hydrated. The DermaSweep™ treatment benefits all skin types with little to no downtime.

For people experiencing active acne, the DermaSweep™ Epi-Infusion treatment for acne penetrates further into the dermis than topically applied medication, effectively treating the condition at the source. The DermaSweep™ Epi-infusion acne treatment combines the exfoliating and resurfacing effects of mircrodermabrasion with proven acne-fighting ingredients like Salicylic Acid and Which Hazel to cleanse pores and remove impurities associated with acne outbreaks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is a good candidate for DermaSweep™?
Any person with a dull, lifeless complexion or photodamaged skin - fine lines and wrinkles and pigment irregularities, is a candidate. In general, DermaSweep™ is appropriate for anyone wanting to improve the overall condition of his or her skin, regardless of skin type because it is easily customized for each client.

Is there any discomfort associated with the DermaSweep™?
No. You may feel an initial tautness after the vacuum process but your skin will feel very smooth. The moisture provided by the Epi-Infusion will leave the skin feeling cool and refreshed.

How does the DermaSweep™ treatment compare to Microdermabrasion?
The overall effect is similar to microdermabrasion but the DermaSweep™ seems to be a cleaner process with less manipulation of the skin.

How long does it take to have a DermaSweep™ treatment?
The entire treatment should take about thirty minutes when Epi-Infusion is performed.

How much downtime should I expect?
There is no downtime associated with the DermaSweep™. Although we encourage women not to wear makeup for the remainder of the day, if necessary, it may be applied immediately following the treatment. Most women, however, enjoy the clean, fresh feeling of their complexions and usually wait until the next day. Unlike other exfoliating treatments, there is very little peeling afterwards because the skin cell buildup is removed during the actual DermaSweep™ process.

Will I need more than one DermaSweep™ treatment?
The condition of your skin will determine how many treatments may be recommended for you. In some cases, four to six treatments performed every two weeks may be suggested for optimal results. In many instances, even those with more youthful complexions opt for subsequent DermaSweep™ treatments because they like the way their skin feels for days afterwards.
