Milady's Aesthetician Series: Microdermabrasion
Pamela Hill
ISBN: 1-4018-8176-9

Microdermabrasion, one of 12 texts in Milady’s Aesthetician Series, takes a unique and highly effective approach in addressing the advanced educational needs of aestheticians in medical skin care facilities, day spas and resort spas. Readers will begin to understand the indications, contraindications and significant clinical information necessary for clinical microdermabrasion. A host of case studies helps the student evaluate and interpret the material. Clinicians will be able to work through specific case histories to improve their knowledge, based on their own relevant clinical experiences. Specific instructions for procedures are outlined and put into working documents, making the implementation process easy for the clinician, physician or facility. The approach used in this text is different from that available in any other text right now because the use of the policy and procedure guide and the case studies create a real-life study of microdermabrasion.

Key Features

• Case studies specific to the treatment make the material easy to understand
• Advanced educational information is highly relevant to today’s environment
• Specific instructions for procedures make it easy to implement microdermabrasion processes
