What is microdermabrasion? |
| |
Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive skin care process that
exfoliates the top layer of skin. This skin revitalizing
treatment repairs skin damage from the sun, scars, acne and the
effects of aging. |

What is natural diamond
microdermabrasion? |
| |
It implores the latest
skin care technology by using a natural diamond tip to exfoliate
the top layer of skin. This process is safer than other
microdermabrasion methods as it does not involve harmful
aluminum oxide crystals. |
| |
|
| |
How does the AVS JA-09
work? |
| |
The AVS JA-09's natural
diamond tip gently removes dead skin cells in a controlled and
precise manner. The dead skin cells are gently vacuumed
with a variable level pump onto a filter. The filter is
removed and discarded after each treatment. The skin is
left smoother as the vacuum action of the wand stimulates blood
flow and cleans the pores. The increased blood flow encourages
collagen formation thus firming and toning the epidermis. |

|
| |
What skin types Can the AVS JA-09 treat? |
| |
Nearly all skin types from oily to dry can benefit from use of
the AVS JA-09. However, you should not perform microdermabrasion
if you have certain medical conditions such as active herpes,
warts, weeping acne (stages 3-4), active rosacea or eczema,
dermatitis, psoriasis, lupus, unstable diabetes or auto-immune
system disorders. |

Is the AVS JA-09 safe? |
| |
Absolutely. The
AVS JA-09 is a closed, non-invasive system that does not use
aluminum oxide crystals. Therefore no threat exists of
inhalation or absorption of aluminum oxide dust. Also the
AVS JA-09 allows the user to control the vacuum pressure for
maximum comfort. The AVS JA-09 is the first and only FDA approved
natural diamond microdermabrasion device for home use. In
addition, the AVS JA-09 carries two ISO standards and conforms
with the CE Marking. |

|
| |
Why is the AVS JA-09 better than other exfoliation treatments? |
| |
The AVS JA-09 is the only in-home microdermabrasion device that
uses a natural diamond tip to exfoliate your skin. The
AVS JA-09's mechanism is the same to that of the professional
machines used in a spa or salon. Therefore you will receive
comparable results without the great expense of going to a spa
and salon. |
| |
|
| |
Is the AVS JA-09 painful or have side effects? |
| |
The treatment is
painless with virtually no side effects. The hazards associated
with the crystal method are eliminated. The natural
diamond tip causes less irritation to the skin while at the same
time allows for a more comfortable, complete and rejuvenating
treatment. Some mild tightening or tingling after exfoliation
may be felt although the skin will remain smooth. The moisture
of any topical treatment will leave the skin with a cool,
refreshed feeling. An anti-oxidant enriched sunscreen is
essential to use afterwards since the exfoliated skin has
temporarily lost some of its natural protection to the
environment. It is recommended to avoid sun exposure and tanning
for a few days and to use a sunscreen. |

How often should I
use the AVS JA-09? |
| |
Your AVS JA-09 should not
to be used on a daily basis. It is recommended that when
starting your treatments, you should be aware of your skin type
and its condition. Start on the lowest settings and gently
exfoliate your skin every 2 weeks. Cautiously increase the power
if needed on your next treatment and continue every 2weeks. For
dry, sensitive skin -- use the lowest power setting once to
twice a month. For oily to normal skin -- gradually increase the
power setting if needed and perform every 10-14 days. |
| |
|
| |
How long does each treatment take? |
| |
Each treatment takes
only about 10 minutes. |
| |
|
| |
How long will the
tip and filters last? |
| |
Under typical usage of every 2 weeks, the tip should last two years. 100 filters come with your AVS JA-09 which under typical usage should also last you two years. |
| |
|
| |
When will I see
results? |
| |
Your skin will feel
smoother and have a vibrant glow after the treatment.
Hyper-pigmentation, certain types of acne scars, fine lines, and
stretch-marks will lessen gradually over a series of AVS JA-09
treatments. |
| |
|
| |
How long will the results last? |
| |
This will depend on the frequency and combination of treatments
and the skin's initial condition. Generally after four to
six treatments, along with a supportive daily routine, the skin
will show significant results. Continuation of treatment
will depend on the skin's condition and the desired results. |
