Skinbase Microdermabrasion in the Spotlight

You may have seen the TV adverts for the Skinbase Microdermabrasion Facial (if not, we've added a youtube link below)

A little about Microdermabrasion first;

"A non-surgical approach to skin rejuvenation, regular exfoliation with MD does wonders for a dull and lacklustre complexion. To get the most out of your at-home skincare products you need to remove old build up before anti-ageing creams and serums can really penetrate and take effect. Microdermabrasion treatment does this by using tiny crystals to slough away old skin cells, clear blocked pores and polish the face.
An immediate improvement can be seen after treatment. MD is a firm celebrity favourite, New York City dermatologist David Colbert, M.D., who treats Sienna Miller and Rachel Weisz, says: “When HDTV kicked in, it became our most sought-after pre-awards show procedure, we had to open a second office!”. (source: Glamour magazine) Exfoliation with MD provides a great base for an even application of makeup.
Mineral makeup can even be applied straight after treatment. MD has also been proven to enhance the barrier function of the skin resulting in increased hydration. (source: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/)"

Megawhite Teeth Whitening Tested

After visiting their stand at the beauty show in London, we became very interested in the Megawhite Teeth Whitening System, and almost signed up there and then! 

Blue Fusion is the product we were drawn to

It uses a non-peroxide tooth whitening formula that promises results in one fifteen minute session. This is achieved with the aid of a LED activating light.
Due to the high initial investment (purchasing of the product and equipment), we decided to test the home kit, which the manufacturer claims will bring results in 5 days, without the need for the LED lamp.

We enlisted the help of a volunteer, who has been unhappy with his yellow teeth for some years. To give the product a fighting chance, we purchased two tubes of Blue Fusion for a 10 day trial, and took a photographic record of the results.

Here they are;

Day 1 08/03/2015

Day 3 10/03/2015

Day 8 15/03/2015

Day 10 18/03/2015

Sadly, as can be seen in the photographs, the results are inconclusive. There may be a slight improvement, but the day 10 photo is a brighter exposure, so it is difficult to draw a true conclusion. The 10 day trial cost £30, so to achieve a noticeable result you would be looking at spending many times this.
It may well be that using the LED light would have given a better result, but the non LED Home Care kit did not live up to expectations. Based on these results, we have decided not to use the Megawhite Blue Fusion System in our salon, as all of our treatments must be proven to give results for our customers - Customer satisfaction will always remain our top priority.
