Scientists now understand that the gradual loss of collagen with age results in the fine lines, wrinkles,* acne scars and other blemishes associated with looking older. This process is further accelerated by exposure to the sun and elements. As collagen gets depleted skin begin to weaken, getting thinner, less supple and prone to fine lines, wrinkles and other blemishes.

Some skin care products have collagen in them. Unfortunately, collagen is an extremely large molecule - way to big to be readily absorbed though the skin. These high-priced concoctions do not even contain actual collagen - they use partially hydrolyzed proteins and vitamins that supposedly help stimulate collagen production by the body. 

Doctors also now inject collagen directly into the skin. This is a painful and costly process, that can cost up to $1,200.00 per injection. Of course, since it doesn't help your body produce new collagen, it is an expensive temporary solution. Now some doctors also inject a toxic substance known as Botulinum Toxin A (derived from the Clostridium botulinum bacterium) into facial skin to create a temporary paralysis,  thuis reducing wrinkles. In addition to being expensive and uncomfortable, these injections may actually be dangerous. Side effects from these so-called treatments are include severe facial damage and allergic reactions that can cause immobility in other body muscles, as well as major allergic reactions.

Despite all these costly efforts, as far as we know the cosmetic industry is still looking for an anti-aging breakthrough.

Look no further - microdermabrasion IS the miracle breakthrough you've been waiting for. Professional microdermabrasion is a more natural approach. Instead of ineffective creams, costly surgery, dangerous chemicals or painful injections, microdermabrasion removes a layer of dead and damaged skin cells by "abrading" the skin with aluminum oxide crystals. Doctor's and aestheticians use expensive medial-grade machine to "sand blast" skin with the crystals. 

This process of abrasion not only enhances the surface of the skin, reducing many blemishes, it goes much deeper, stimulating your body to actually produce more collagen and elastin. This makes your skin thicker and stronger naturally -from the inside out. Now your body is making more collagen like it did when you were younger.

In fact, a study (below) by a well known cosmetic surgeon found that a series of 6 microdermabrasion treatments definately increased collagen production and thickening of the skin. This is what makes professional maicrodermabrasion the most effective, and most popular non-surgical procedure for the treatment of aging, wrinkles, fine lines, acne scars, age spots and other blemishes. As the skin gets stronger, thicker and more supple it gets firmer, smoothing out the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars and other blemishes.

Now, thanks to Dermanesse, you don't need an expensive sand blasting machine - you can do it yourself at a price everyone can afford! Until Dermanesse, a series of six professional microdermabrasion treatments could actually cost you several thousand dollars. Now Dermanesse lets you safely, effectively do it yourself in the comfort and convenience of your own home. Dermanesse Professional Microdermabrasion is the first and only profesional system you can do yourself with results comparable to a professional treatment - or your money back!

* Dynamic Wrinkles, such as laugh lines caused by smiling or frowning, are actually caused within the facial muscles under the skin, not by collagen loss, and microdermabrasion may only have a minimal affect on them.

American Academy of Facial, Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery
Study on the Benefits of Microdermabrasion

A study of combined effects of microdermabrasion and over-the-counter formulated skin care products efficacy in affecting skin changes associated in aging and acne was presented at the Annual Meeting of the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery in Orlando, Florida. The investigators evaluated the changes in skin texture, coloration, tone, general appearance and acne severity. The study was divided into two groups of patients, those with aging changes and those with acne. Both groups showed a statisically significant improvement in these skin features when measured over the 6 month duration of the study period. The improvement observed in both groups of patients showed a slight trend toward baseline when the frequency of microdermabrasion was significantly reduced. Both groups showed continued improvement to a plateau at about three months of treatment.
