DermaNew personal savior

www.DermaNew.com (866)44-DERMA 

Developed almost 20 years ago to treat the skin of burn victims through a process of exfoliation and polishing, dermabrasion has evolved into today’s hottest skin treatment called Microdermabrasion.

This refined version, used by discriminating patrons at spas and through aestheticians, is used to erase fine lines and wrinkles and treat a host of skin ailments like age spots, scars and stretch marks, acne and sun damaged skin.  It requires multiple visits and demands top dollar for the treatment.

DermaNew comes to the rescue.  By developing a convenient though milder version of the actual treatment through a personal microdermabrasion system, you are now empowered to renew your visage and turn your bathroom into a spa.

And it’s all so simple! You typically attach a foam applicator to the battery operated vibrating device (ergonomically designed so it’s easy to hold) and after dipping it into a precious mix of aluminum oxide crystals, vitamins and moisturizers, you massage the crème into your needy skin 2 to 4 times a week.  Whether you want to diminish wrinkles, decrease the signs of aging or clear pores of impurities, DermaNew works with all types of skin.  In addition, because the crèmes use a mélange of oils like Peppermint, Rose and Green Tea, they smell fantastic!

Ranging from an acne-specific system to a hand & foot system and a luxurious total body system, the personal kits are self-contained and include the vibrating wand, a 60-day supply of the crème formula, and required applicators.

So indulge your skin and introduce it to its new best friend.
