Disposable / Reusable Paddles (may be used up to 3 times only on same patient).

The paddles are a patented technology. The paddles are made of a non-imbedded, single layered, abrasive stainless steel material. These patented paddles are abrasive yet the amount of excessive redness or skin irritation is lower than most skin treatments that are available today. In addition, patients enjoy the treatment. The hand piece delivers the Patient Specific paddle to the skin at approximately 88 Hertz. This forward and back movement not only exfoliates the skin but also triggers new collagen in as little as 3 treatments.

The Vibraderm Treatment Paddle exfoliates on one side and on the back of these paddles you can infuse product or topical to increase absorption.  You will exfoliate for 12 minutes exfoliating the Face, Neck, and Décolleté removing 75 to 85% of the Stratum Corneum Spending 2 to 3 minutes on the nose. We then flip the paddle over and we are now able to drive topical products of our chose into the skin in about 3 to 4 minutes.  Green tea serums are awesome products to infuse.  Products also work well with are :

1.levulan
2.Elamax or topical anesthetics and what ever the rest of that list was
3.Hydroquinone
4.protopic

Paddle sizes are small (nose & eyes) , medium (most commonly used anywhere) and large (for large areas like arms, back, chest, ect…)

Operation of the Vibraderm™ Tip

*  Clean Both the skin to be treated and the Vibraderm™ Tip with an appropriate antiseptic.

• Turn the wing nut in a clockwise direction until SNUG contact is made with the device tip. Be careful not to overtighten as this will loosen the connection.
• Turn the “on/off” switch to the appropriate speed The low speed is for initially allowing the patient to become comfortable with the a “feel” of the paddle, or for those patients with very sensitive skin.
• Hold the device like a pen. Gently apply the steel exfoliation surface of the paddle to the skin.
