How Microdermabrasion is Performed on the Mid-Face, Cheeks & Nose

Video Transcript

" Hi, I am Lillian with Salon of Scottsdale and on behalf of ExpertVillage.com; I am here to continue on with a Microdermabrasion procedure. We have already completed the forehead area and as you can see, it just got slightly pink, not real real red. Some people though can get a little bit more red depending again on the vacuum strength that you use and the tip that you use as well. So now, I am going to continue onto the mid-face and the nose. Usually this is very easily tolerated, the nose especially, we can always put the vacuum a lot higher and the patient could tolerate it very easily. And I will go ahead and start. Although it is a good idea to ask the patient when you start a different section what the pain tolerance is, so right now Joe – what is the pain tolerance in this area? On a scale to one to ten it would be? On a scale of one to ten, it would be a one. One on a scale of one to ten that tells me that I could actually plug up the tip and put it up to 15 so that he could get better results. Like the forehead, you are just going to go vertical, never stopping the motion. When you have completed the cheek area, you start on the nose. Now on the nose it is the most oily part of most people’s faces so you will get a lot of oil out of this area."
