Dermafile
Is Dermafile Right For You?
Dermafile is a natural, non-invasive exfoliating tool that is designed to remove the top layer of dead skin cells, leaving you with a smoother, more rejuvenated and glowing complexion. This is a collagen-building treatment that continues to show gradual improvement weeks after your first treatment.
Dermafile is often compared to microdermabrasion as it offers similar resurfacing benefits, but without the use of a high-powered machine, and suction technique.
Who Is A Candidate for Dermafile?
This treatment is ideal for anyone who has a troubled area of skin they would like to be smoother, and works well for those looking to eliminate unwanted facial lines, age spots, wrinkles, or scarring. There are no known side effects and no prolonged downtime after the treatment. There is a small window of heightened skin sensitivity after your treatment, typically lasting no longer than 48 hours.
What Is The Dermafile Procedure
An APS medical aesthetician will begin the treatment by applying the resurfacing wand which contains finely crushed cosmetic-grade diamonds. The aesthetician will have full control of the process, making it a treatment well-suited for sensitive skin. The Dermafile may be passed over the skin several times to ensure that each layer is removed evenly and your aesthetician may choose to concentrate on a particular area that has a high level of skin pigmentation or skin irregularities. The entire procedure takes less than an hour.
