Book Description

Microdermabrasion, one of twelve titles in Milady's Aesthetician Series, takes a unique and highly effective approach in addressing the advanced educational needs of aestheticians in medical skin care facilities, day spas and resort spas. Readers will begin to understand the indications, contraindications and significant clinical information necessary for clinical microdermabrasion. A host of case studies helps the student evaluate and interpret the material. Clinicians will be able to work through specific case histories to improve their knowledge, based on their own relevant clinical experiences. Specific instructions for procedures are outlined and put into working documents, making the implementation process easy for the clinician, physician or facility. The approach used in this text is different from that available in any other text right now because the use of the policy and procedure guide and the case studies create a real-life study of microdermabrasion.

Editorial Reviews

Review

The more schools start offering such a program for graduate students, the more the demand will rise for it. My initial overall impression is great! For those schools who will need to offer advanced programs, this is very exciting. I believe segmenting into what is used in a dermatology setting versus what is used in a Plastic Surgery setting, specifically would be very beneficial. I hope that equipment types will also be touched on to be able to make good choices on equipment for a medical spa.

Very good and informative book. Very extensive. Good pictures. I wish there were more pictures but if you're an esthetician and want to do more microdermabrasion or brush up on your skills, this is an excellent book to have!

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for the Beauty Therapist who wishes to specialise in Microdermabrasion treatments!, September 14, 2008

This review is from: Milady's Aesthetician Series: Microdermabrasion (Paperback)

This book is written by an American author Pamela Hill; a foremost authority in medical aesthetics who was a former nurse. As such; the emphasis of this book is thoroughly grounded in medical aesthetics. An extensive coverage of the fundamentals of skin care affords the therapist an understanding of how the prior application of cosmetics can affect the application of Microdermabrasion. All the main anti-ageing and `cosmeceutical' ingredients are covered in depth. An extensive chapter also covers the indications and contraindications of Microdermabrasion treatments. Treatment procedures are covered expansively with a prominence placed upon identifying safe treatment protocols and practices. As a lecturer in Beauty Therapy it is hoped that this book will aid in standardising Microdermabrasion treatments in the U.K. as this is a treatment that still has many treatment variables. During the study of my BA (Hons) Degree in Beauty Therapy Management course this book was extremely useful for my dissertation research too; purely because it provided such a comprehensive account of this popular salon treatment.

This review is from: Milady's Aesthetician Series: Microdermabrasion (Paperback)

This gives a good in depth review of microdermabrasion. More about the contraindacations. Anyone can operate a machine, but I think reading this book gives you more authority when speaking to your clients.
