dermasweep skin rejuvenation treatment

The Dermasweep micro-exfoliation facial rejuvenation treatment is a favorite among a few of The Real Housewives of Orange County.

"Jeana and I just got done getting a DermaSweep skin revitalization treatment by Laura McDermott! It was my first microderm treatment and so tomorrow I should look 10 years younger??? LOL ;)" -Quinn Fry

aging at a snail's pace


Growth factor is a buzzword we have all heard about in the skin care field...well there is a new skin care line called Tensage that contains a unique growth factor.  After years of research, European scientists discovered a unique technology to repair and prevent damage to the skin: SCA Biorepair Technology (growth factor from snail secretion).  Growth factor helps skin regenerate tissue that is lost in the aging process and helps prevent further breakdown.  Tensage comes in various growth factor strengths and helps with fine lines and wrinkles, increased hydration, and faster recovery post-procedure.  My personal favorite are the ampoules, which have the highest level of growth factor.  To find out more about Tensage products, go to http://www.biopelle.com/products/consumers/tensage/.

sweep this sisters from corinna b's world blog



Sooo. I've been dying to tell you about this skin treatment I had a few weeks ago. Too fab! You've all probably heard of microdermabrasion, the process where you get a maximo exfoliation via a cool machine that uses crushed up crystals or diamond point to take the top coat off your skin & suck it up a little hose. Something along the lines of taking a sandblaster to your face. I have long been a major fan of it. In fact, I have had a microderm before every big event or special occasion, so that my skin looks smooth.

Well, there's a new sheriff in town, and his name is DermaSweep. And I have to say this is one of the most innovative, exciting things I've seen in a very long time! Its a similar principal - kind of - but that's where the similarities end. Dermasweep uses specially bevelled bristles to lift away dead skin. Unlike the particulate systems this doesn't scratch the new skin beneath it. Traditional microderm uses a pushing motion, Dermasweep utilizes a lifting motion, which actually promotes circulation leaving your skin more robust and glowing. This lifting motion not only takes away the skin debris, but cleans out all the pores at the same time.

There is a selection of bristle heads for the operator to choose from, so that even those with the finest, most delicate and sensitive skin can have this treatment and love it. Ladies with very fine skin have typically been exempt from traditional microderm treatments, but now they have an option too. The entire process is fully customizeable and can be personalized to provide the most inclusive skin care system in the world.

Traditional microderm leaves you with grit all through your hairline, inside your nose and in your ears, and frequently there is a peeling occuring a couple of days later, as well as day of treatment redness. So if you have an event you have to schedule a microderm several days out. With Dermasweep there is no grit on the skin, in the hairline etc, so you can have a treatment on the same day as your event. Which is exactly what actresses & musicians & celebs do on the day of award shows (think Oscars, Golden Globes, Emmys, Music awards) and major events. And if its good enough for them, its good enough for us! There is also no peeling and no redness. I can't even tell you how fabulous the skin looks after a treatment! I had mine three weeks ago now, and it is still absolutely glowing. (and I am soooo loving that!!!)

Dermasweep is a 2 part process. The second part of the process is an infusion. Depending on what your skin's needs are, the technician/aesthetician will create a cocktail of fabulous solutions (which are paraben free) to infuse deep into the skin with the machine. By reversing the vacuum they can send product significantly deeper into the skin than you can with a manual application. The infusions deal with everything from hydration (me!) to acne, to sundamage to hyperpigmentation, to photo damage, to surgical scars(!!!) to uneven skin texture and many more skin conditions.After the infusion your skin looks beyond amazing. Make up glides on smoothly and perfectly. No wonder celebs are so on top of this thing! Depending on your skin needs you can have a course of treatments (for conditions such as acne, hyperpigmentation, fine lines & wrinkles, overall skin tone and texture, chronic dehydration etc) or you can have single treatments for special events.

For me the bottom line with any skin care product or skin treatment is, do I see an immediate difference in my skin? I want to see it, feel it, know it, right away. And I'm not interested in any 5 minute miracles - I want to see continued benefit over time. I have to say with Dermasweep I saw a drastic difference in my skin as soon as she had completed the treatment. And it is still looking that way. People are constantly commenting on my skin too, which is always a good sign. Dermasweep treatments are performed in dayspas and medi spas, as well as in doctors offices. To find a Dermasweep location near you check out the website at Dermasweep.com

I honestly can't recommend strongly enough that you try this out. I love, love, love it!!! Posted by Corinna B at 2:38 PM

jeana keough from the real housewives of orange county gets a dermasweep


I spent the day at Jeana Keough's in Coto de Caza Sunday giving her and some of her fabulous friends a DermaSweep micro-exfoliation facial treatment!  It was Jeana's 4th DermaSweep that she has had over the last few months.  Ben Medina of Friendly Computers was also there enjoying the benefits of his DermaSweep treatment.  The DermaSweep exfoliates, circulates and rejuvenates then skin by using a bristle tip and vacuum.  After the skin is exfoliated, a skin specific solution is then infused into the skin by using the vacuum pressure in reverse.  Go to http://www.dermasweep.com/ to find a skin care professional near you!

fountain of youth

Have I found the fountain of youth?  Well, no, but I found a fabulous new product called Youth Complex by iS Clinical.  The breakthrough product is an anti-wrinkle formula with potent anti-oxidants, growth factor and innovative hydrators.  Youth Complex is kind of an all-in-one product, it's hydrating, exfoliating, helps to boost collagen and elastin (very important as we age) and helps to reduce fine lines and wrinkles.  It's one of my new favs!! To find out more about it, go to http://www.isclinical.com/youthcomplex.  Have a radiant day!

pucker up

We all want luscious pouty lips like Angelina Jolie's...well maybe not quite as big.  I have found the best lip injector in So Cal, board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Jimmy Firouz in Beverly Hills! He is very meticulous and detail oriented, which is extremely important when it comes to our faces...or bodies for that matter.  I've never gotten so many compliments on my lips before...and they look so natural.  Go to http://www.jimmyfirouzmd.com/ for more info!

new skin care line


So, I've been in the aesthetics field forever and tried a ton of different skin care lines.  Well, recently I came across a new which I'm now in love with, it's called M2!!  It's made with Mandelic Acid and Malic Acid which are more gentle than other AHA's (alpha hydroxy acids) out there, so it's fabulous for people with sensitive skin conditions like rosacea.  To find out more about it go to http://www.mcklabs.com/.  Have a radiant day!
