Treatment Precautions

Due to the use of inert materials, like corundum microcrystals and inox-steel for mechanical parts and diamond tips, allergy cases are quite rare. It is recommended however, to perform a test patch when a client comes in for the first time. This should preferably be done on a less visible part of the face such as the neck or under the ear with a soft exfoliation. (Any redness should settle within 24 hours.) It is recommended that the patient refrains from any invasive procedures prior to having a Clairderm Slim procedure unless advised by a practitioner. The following additional precaution should also be noted:

• Waxing is not recommended 2 days prior to or for at least 7 days after the Clairderm Slim procedure.
• We strongly advise against using sun beds and swimming in heavily chlorinated water or salt water for at least 1 week after the last Clairderm Slim procedure has been performed.
• Microdermabrasion is not recommended for specific skin conditions outlined in the detailed training guide.

Treatment Procedure

The best results are achieved with a series of treatments. The skin’s renewal cycle is 4 weeks. Therefore optimum, long-lasting results are obtained over a series of 4 - 8 sessions, about 7-10 days apart and no longer than 14 days. (The skin needs time to regenerate between sessions. This is client dependant.) Each treat¬ment exfoliates the stratum corneum, encourages cell turnover in the basal layer of the epidermis and stimulates collagen production in the dermis. In addition, the vacuum stimulates blood flow and lymphatic drainage as well as cell regeneration.

Post Treatment Care

Clairderm microdermabrasion increases microcirculation, brings nutrients to the skin’s surface, greatly improves the appearance of all imperfections and increases the penetration of creams and serums by around 4-5 times. It can however be a dehydrating procedure. To optimise results, post procedure, it’s essential that the skin is not exposed to direct sunlight and that a strict maintenance program is followed using a professional cosmeceutical skin care range such as Clairderm Cosmeceuticals.

• Apply a SPF50+ sunscreen like Clairderm SPF50+ Broad Spectrum, Moisturising Daily Defence Sunscreen Lotion
• Cleanse with a pH balancing cleanser like Clairderm Gentle Purifying Cleanser
• Apply a quality range of regenerating, hydrating and nutritive creams and serums.
• Avoid skin care, make-up and perfume products with harsh chemical ingredients particularly in the 3-4 days following treatment as the skin does not have its usual strong barrier against these ingredients.
