Trophy Skin MicrodermMD

Trophy Skin MicrodermMD

I was so excited to try this personal at home microdermabrasion system. As a master aesthetician of over thirty years, I was in all honestly not expecting the reaction I had which was OH MY GOODNESS this is not like other at home microderm machines. I have worked with several dermatology grade machines like the Diamondtome to smaller units for spas and at home labels but they just always seemed insufficiant. First off, I was surprisingly pleased with how quiet the motor runs with this unit. Some microdermabrasion machines sound like a jackhammer going off but not this one. The system is sleek and not bulky with convenient compartments to store all of your extra parts like filters, and extra tips which you can purchase from Trophy Skin. The unit itself comes with just the one standard grit microderm diamond tip which is sufficient to achieve all of your exfoliation facial needs. If you would like the precision tip it is more pointy like a pencil tip, to get into areas hard to reach like the eyes and crevices. There is also a larger diamond tip for the body if you are focusing on tone, texture, or scars. The unit is also easy to take with so you don’t have to miss a treatment while traveling.

It does help to watch a youtube video before you jump in and initiate treatment. Another surprise was that It also has so much suction power! As a skin care expert I jumped right into the preset settings to see how this would feel for my clients if I recommend it. (there is also the option of a manual setting but the pre-set is ideal for optimal overall treatment). I will say to beware if you have clients that overly do skin care because this is a powerhouse of a tool. Most at home systems are very weak and I have found them to be more gimmicky and less beneficial often leading to a lot of money down the toilet and great disappoint for the buyer. This unit will not disappoint! I would and will recommend to clients for use in-between seeing their skin care professional. If you are unfamiliar with microdermabrasion, let me give you a little background information on the benefits. Microderm offers benefits of gentle exfoliation to the epidermis (the outer most layer of skin). The MicrodermMD works by gliding the diamond tip gently across the skin while pulling the skin taut with one hand. Never push aggressively into your skin as this will compromise the integrity of the skin by tugging and pulling and may also overly exfoliate. The idea behind microderm is to improve skin tone and texture. Microderm can be an effective way to help alleviate skin conditions such as excessive oil, breakouts, uneven skin tone (hyperpigmentation), dry patches, comedones/blackheads, Shrinks the appearance of large pores, brighten dull skin, and bring overall balance to problematic skin. As we age our skin greatly slows down with the cellular renewal process so this is exactly why we need to exfoliate to maintain a youthful appearance. Exfoliation kicks the cells into a higher gear and allows for oxygen to flow more freely to nourish and feed the skin’s cells. When this happens, it is also supporting collagen renewal and growth. Please follow the instructions closely along with any contraindications. Do not use immediately after botox or filler. Wait a full two weeks post cosmetic fillers. Also do not use immediately following laser or chemical resurfacing. I also tell my clients to do as I say not as I do (lol). I needed to get my review done in a timely fashion so I had just done a light 20% glycolic peel and two days later tried this system out. Keep in mind I have very prepped and seasoned skin with the product ingredients I use and the amount of time I’ve been using professional dermatology grade skin care. I used the system twice in one week and had amazing professional results. So good that in all honesty this would replace salon/spa microdermabrasion. Save your money for more advanced skin care procedures at the spa such as microneedling, hydrafacials etc…As an aesthetician I am not in the least threatened as I find that when clients can and will follow at home regimens it helps them to also speed up the process of great skin results. This would be a fantastic tool. My greatest reward over the years as a skin care professional is watching the transformation of problematic skin into healthy glowing skin. Solid product that I can’t say enough good things about. I will follow up later with the longevity of the system. MUST HAVE! The only recommendation I have is with the cleansing of the diamond tips. Trophy Skin recommends just a mild antibacterial soap while using the brush provided. I however feel that is not aseptic enough and just as an additional safety precaution I would buy an enzyme cleansing solution or properly mix and follow the instructions of a barbicide solution. Never allow the diamond tips to stay emerged in any solution for long periods as it could damage the tip. Happy exfoliating! You will love the results.
