from the Fall 2006 issue
We are pleased to introduce two new treatment combinations designed to improve the appearance of your skin – VibraLight Yellow for skin rejuvenation and VibraLight Blue for acne.
Both treatments start with our new method of exfoliating the skin on face, neck and chest called vibradermabrasion, which is performed with the Vibraderm® machine. A vibrating paddle is applied to the surface of the skin literally vibrating off the top layer of dead skin cells. Removing this layer (called the stratum corneum) improves the skin's appearance by giving it a smoother, more radiant surface. It improves acne by taking the top off clogged pores allowing the blackheads and whiteheads to be removed.
The exfoliation process allows the light treatment that follows to penetrate more effectively into the skin. The physical agitation of the skin from the Vibraderm also stimulates the skin cells to produce more collagen, thus improving skin texture, pores and fine lines.
Our VibraLight Yellow follows the vibradermabrasion with the GentleWaves® Skin Fitness treatment. The GentleWaves yellow light stimulates production of new collagen to help plump up the skin. Our VibraLight Blue exposes the skin after the vibradermabrasion to a blue light, which helps kill acne-causing bacteria. Following these light treatments, we infuse topical products again using the Vibraderm unit. VibraLight Yellow uses products containing growth factors and anti-oxidants, while VibraLight Blue utilizes glycolic or salicylic acid-based products to fight acne. In both treatments, the vibration drives the active ingredients deeper into the skin than just applying them topically. The procedure is not painful so no anesthetic is necessary, and there is no downtime. Normal activities can be resumed immediately following treatment.
To see the initial improvement, we recommend a series of six treatments spaced one or two weeks apart. For maintenance, you can be treated once every one to two months. Treatments may be purchased individually or by buying a package of six at a reduced package price.
