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 In depth book about microdermabrasion, May 26, 2009

By	Julia Avery (Moore, OK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.

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

By	Pro Beauty Education "Beauty Therapy Author w... (UK) - See all my reviews

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.
