Microdermabrasion:
The Ultimate Facial
Traditional Facial

Enjoy the relaxing and stimulating experience of the traditional facial consisting of cleansing, toning, hydrating with a mask, and moisturizing. These steps enhance the application and results of the vacuum massage and microdermabrasion treatments resulting in the most enjoyable and effective treatment on the market.

Vacuum-Assisted Massage

Vacuum massage with the Synergie AMS™ facial treatment heads provides optimal stimulation of the skin and the underlying tissues. This revolutionary aesthetic treatment gives you a deep, relaxing, comfortable massage while exfoliating the skin and increasing circulation.

Microdermabrasion

A Synergie™ Peel microdermabrasion treatment is the most effective way to exfoliate and rejuvenate the skin. This safe and gentle procedure, known as the "lunchtime peel," requires no recuperative period - you can go right back to your daily activities with no interruptions.

Light Therapy

Also known as photo-rejuvenation, has been shown through years of research to increase ATP synthesis accelerating cellular metabolism and collagen production resulting in smoother and softer skin. Synergie Light Therapy is the perfect finishing touch to virtually any skin treatment.

Physiology of the Synergie™ Peel

The Synergie Peel is designed to treat more than the surface of the skin. While microdermabrasion is peeling away the top skin layer, vacuum- assisted massage is treating the dermis and subcutaneous tissue to enhance circulation. Synergie Peel - treating from the inside out, because beauty is more than skin deep.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is Microdermabrasion?
Microdermabrasion ia an aesthetic procedure in which the skin is exfoliated mechanically. Focused columns of fine, sterile, inert aluminum oxide crystals collide with the outer layer of the skin removing cells of the skin's outermost layer. The crystal and skin cells are vacuumed off of the skin by the unit simultaneously.

return to FAQ

How does it work?
This gentle technique is performed with a jet of fine medical-grade aluminum oxide crystals. The handpiece is gently applied to the skin as the crystals abrade the skin's surface. When the crystals make contact with the skin, they remove the dead layer. The vacuum pressure simultaneously removes the crystals and dead skin cells delivering them to the waste collection unit.

Testimonials

Robert L. Ochs, M.D., San Antonio, TX - "I wanted to write the Synergie Corporation to express our satisfaction with our new microdermabrasion machine. I personally have had several treatments, as well as most of the staff. My assistant Rebecca, who went to the training course in Salt Lake City, loves the machine. The response she gets from all our patients that have been treated is positive. We anticipate our clientel will continue to grow and return for years to come."

return to Testimonials

Pepper Poulsen, Sandy, Utah - "After a Synergie Microdermabrasion treatment, my skin is so smooth, I love it. Synergie Microdermabrasion not only makes me look better, it makes me feel better too; it builds my confidence. I also love the Calisse skin care products. I was using another skin care product, when I was introduced to Calisse. I cannot believe the change it has made in my skin. It makes it smooth and it feels so good. Calisse is not greasy and it's not oily. I love it."

return to Testimonials

Valerie Mayne, Utah - "I have found that the benefits of Synergie Microdermabrasion are the glow to your skin, it works out the imperfections; the fine lines. For myself, I have had small acne scars and I have noticed a huge difference in them. It has been great."

return to Testimonials

Jayme Anderson - "When I first went to have a Synergie Microdermabrasion treatment, I had some acne problems. I did not actually have acne itself, but I had the result of acne which was pitting, some scaring, redness left over on the sides of my cheeks and on my chin. After only one treatment, I could see a noticable difference. After my second and third treatment, I had a series done, I had beautiful skin; it was glowing. My skin was healthier and I had a lot more elasticity. My skin was not as dull and grey looking, I had a lot more color, it was beautiful. I love the treatments. They are wonderful."

return to Testimonials

Sally Wilhelm, Aesthetician, Utah - "I am an aesthetician and the Synergie Microdermabrasion treatments are three times as good as a chemical peel. We give chemical peels all the time, but with the Synergie Microdermabrasion treatments you get a fresh new look immediately, there are immediate results, your skin just looks great, it is glowing."

return to Testimonials

Patricia Hylton, Virginia Beach, Virginia - "I have used other Microdermabrasion devices before and I am so excited about the Synergie Microdermabrasion device. It's quiet, you don't even know you have it there. It does not clog like a lot of devices do which you know gives you a lot more time invested on each client when you are trying to fix that machine. It does a beautiful job, you don't have to worry about invading the skin. And my clients are just so excited. I just can't say enough good things about the Synergie Microdermabrasion device."

return to Testimonials

Mary Barton, Salt Lake City, Utah - "I have had eight Synergie Microdermabrasion treatments. I am in my 60s and the treatments have rejuvenated my skin. Also, I have been conscious of the pores in my face and I have seen those diminish. My skin is better now than it was in my 50s. I feel a big improvement."

return to Testimonials

Angela Orgera, Midvale - "One thing I have noticed with the Synergie Microdermabrasion treatments is line reduction around the eyes and around the forehead. And that's made me happy"

return to Testimonials

Scott Evans, Sandy, Utah - "Teresa's friend was giving the treatments and trying to talk her into it, so she went in to try them. She was very skeptical and I was skeptical. After her first treatment, she was immediately sold on microdermabrasion. She could see the results immediately, and I could see the results. I thought it would be very temporary and a week later gone. After the full range of treatments, she looked great; she looked 5 to 10 years younger than she did. She loves it, she's going in for maintenance treatments, and she couldn't be happier."
