Why sodium bicarbonate?
Virtually all microdermabrasion systems use aluminum oxide crystals to abrade the skin. Although aluminum oxide does an effective job of abrading the skin, there are several disadvantages to its use. Aluminum oxide is a known irritant that leaves most people red and irritated after a treatment. Due to the harsh nature of aluminum oxide, it is necessary to keep the treatment a safe distance from the eye and mouth area, leaving the most important areas of the face untreated. Our microdermabrasion system uses pure sodium bicarbonate crystals, pure baking soda, to evenly abrade the skin. Exposure to sodium bicarbonate is not harmful and will not irritate even the most sensitive skin. One of the biggest advantage is that the lips as well as the skin directly under the eye can be treated.
