Microdermabrasion is a non-surgical, exfoliating treatment helpful for those unhappy with acne scarring, sun-damaged skin, age spots, freckles, stretch marks, fine lines, scars, and rough skin. Treatment can be performed on the face, neck, chest, hands, back, elbows, and feet. Microdermabrasion is a safe, therapeutic approach to skin care when used alone, or in combination with other treatments.
What is treatment like?
Microdermabrasion is performed with a stream of fine crystals which are delivered across the skin’s surface and then removed via vacuum, uprooting the damaged cells to reveal fresh, invigorated skin.

Microdermabrasion accelerates the cellular turnover process, bringing you closer to healthier, younger-looking skin. It allows you to gradually resurface your skin without the risks, side effects, and downtime of more aggressive alternatives. In as little as twenty minutes, this gentle, abrasive technique efficiently produces satisfying results. Improvements in appearance and texture will occur with successive treatments. Microdermabrasion can be used aggressively to achieve dramatic results, but does not take the place of surgical or laser treatments.
How many treatments will I need?
To achieve maximum results, several treatments are recommended, typically scheduled one or two weeks apart. You will experience a progressive improvement throughout your treatment program. Ask to schedule a consultation to determine the approximate number of treatments recommended for optimum effects.
How does my skin look immediately after treatment?
Microdermabrasion leaves your skin feeling soft and you will notice a healthy glow to your complexion. Due to the increase of circulation, a mild temporary blush surrounding the treated area may be the only evidence of your therapy.
A Short History of Ultrapeel®
The "Pepita/Crystal" system was designed by the Italian company Mattioli Engineering in 1994 , was FDA cleared in 1996 after years of trials,worlds first closed-loop microdermabrasion system with corundum crystal with sterile operations, and was introduced in U.S. in 1997 by the initial Mattioli Engineering U.S. distributor under his own trade mark "PowerPeel". The success of this name was obtained thanks to the reliability and ease of operation of the equipment manufactured by Mattioli Engineering. The hundreds of DMS1000 Pepita/Crystal units installed in USA created a "New Science In Skin Care™" with thousands of patients/customers that discovered a new and easy way for obtaining a healthier skin. Now, based on innovative design and invaluable experience gained over ten years, the new "Ultrapeel®" - "Pepita/Crystal" systems offer even a more complete range of equipments, accesories, consumables,disposable kits, that make possible a therapy that work for everyone and every skin type, achieving a healthier skin after each and every treatment whith the maximum reliability and safety thanks to the unique sterile operations. Mattioli Engineering "Ultrapeel®" microdermabraders received FDA clearance in 1996 under the initial name "DMS1000C",are covered by U.S. patents (some already issued: n. 5,810,842, n. 5,954,730 ;some still pending), are CE marked and are used worldwide both for medical and cosmetic applications. The number of working units installed worldwide, over one thousand, make the system a world standard in the field of modern dermabrasion (known also as dermoabration, microdermoabrasion).
Ultrapeel® Pepita system
Pepita is the Ultrapeel unit modified for use by the Aesthetician who is certified and higly skilled to carry out a wide range of treatments safely and efficiently on a routine basis in the skin care clinics. A jet of microcrystals (corundum powder) is propelled across the skin's surface throug a sealed tubing system with a sterilizable handpiece which removes unwanted dead skin cells and scarred tissue.A continuous vacuum of microcrystal is formed (aspiration mode) The microcrystal are finally collected in a container that holds the waste materials. The real benefit is that after treatment, the patient/client is able to leave the clinic with a clean and fresh sparkling tone, due to regeneration of the epiderma cell structure. Safety is paramount, and therefore, all parts which come into conctact with the skin during therapy, are either disposable or sterilizable.
How does Ultrapeel work?
The Ultrapeel system utilizes a flux of microcrystals corundum powder that is directed to the skin surface through a sealed tubing system with a dedicated handpiece. The microcrystal are finally collected in a container that holds the contaminated waste materials. The delivery kit is produced in Glass Pyrex material and is the only sterizable kit available on the market. It is also now available in plastic disposable bottles, which contain pre-packed corundum powder, which can be sterilized.
