Learn Crystal-Free Microdermabrasion Techniques Online with Tina Marie Zillmann, Past President of the Aesthetic International Association

Medical Aestheticians who care for the patients of plastic surgeons and dermatologists are using crystal-free microdermabrasion techniques in combination with salicylic acid, glycolic acid, retinol peels, and melanin suppressing ingredients to turn back the effects of time for younger-looking skin.

Microdermabrasion is a cosmetic procedure that exfoliates the lackluster outermost layer of the epidermis for a fresh layer of skin. The result is softened fine lines and wrinkles, smoothed skin, reduced hyperpigmentation, lessened scars, cleared pores, and stimulated collagen production. In combination with chemical peels, it improves skin smoothness, texture, and luminescence.

In order to achieve the best results, a pre and post-treatment skincare treatment is essential. Knowledge of chemical peels, melanin suppressing ingredients, skin types, and skin analysis are required in order to perform microdermabrasion procedures.

Microdermabrasion technology has been around since the 1980’s, using tiny aluminum oxide crystals (corundum) to buff away the skin. A pressurized hand held wand sprays the crystals onto the skin to abrade the uppermost layers. A vacuum removes the dead skin and crystals from the skin and the remaining residue is removed during the post microdermabrasion skin cleansing treatment.

Diamond-tip and steel-tip microdermabrasion machines are now an option, achieving the same results with less discomfort and without the aluminum oxide crystal residue. They come with different sized tips with varying grades of roughness that attach to a hand-held wand. Pre and post-microdermabrasion skin care procedures are essential for a beneficial outcome.

Tina Marie Zillmann is an expert at using many types of microdermabrasion machines. She is a practicing Aesthetician with expertise on innovative aesthetic treatments and post-surgical care for plastic surgery patients.

“Diamond-tip microdermabrasion is taking off in popularity,” says Tina Marie Zillmann. “It may become the main type of microdermabrasion we see in the near future.”

The Global Facial Aesthetics market is predicted to grow at a year-to-year growth rate of 9.22 percent over the period of 2012-2016 according to a market research report by Companies & Markets. “One of the key factors contributing to this market growth is the increase in the aging population. The Global Facial Aesthetics market has also been witnessing an increasing popularity of combination therapies”.

According to Companies & Markets, “One of the recent trends witnessed in the Global Facial Aesthetics market is the growing popularity of combination therapies for facial rejuvenation. Facial aesthetic products such as botulinum toxin can be used in conjunction with other cosmetic procedures such as dermal fillers, chemical peels, and microdermabrasion to improve the outcomes of facial rejuvenation”.

Tina Marie Zillmann is a pioneer in skin rejuvenation and an expert at using combination therapies. Her experience as an Aesthetician and entrepreneur have rewarded her locally, in San Antonio, Texas and nationally. She is an active published contributor to Dermascope and Les Nouvelles Esthetiques & Spa magazines, and a professional resource to writers within American Spa Magazine.

By offering post-surgical care for the patients of plastic surgeons, Skin Rejuvenation Clinique has become the go-to facility for post-plastic surgery patients, burn victims, skin graft recovery, and laser recovery.
