Post This Is Unbelievable!

Hi all,

Check out page 34 in Allure Magazine's January 2007 issue. I found the following bit piece by Meirav Devash

Quote

WORD OF MOUTH
----------------------------------------------
AGAINST THE GRAIN

Do-it-yourselfers love hardware stores for their
drywall accessories and caulk guns. Now some
women are snapping up sandpaper for their own
version of dermabrasion--and boasting about it on
Internet bulletin boards.
Like traditional dermabrasion with a high-speed
rotary wheel or brush, sandpaper removes the
surface layer of the skin, explains New York
City dermatologist Doris J. Day. "The problem is
that it's simply not safe," she says. "The sandpaper
could be teeming with bacteria."
Agressive scraping and tiny nicks to the skin
could lead to infection and scarring. Whether for
home or personal renovation, some tasks are best
left to the professionals. --Meirav Devash

End Quote

Now I can understand that desparate times calls for desparate measures, but this is just going too far.

Have any of you heard about this or know anyone who does this so-called "dermabrasion" method at home? What are your thoughts?

Some people are just not very educated and naive. It doesn't surprise me at all.

Ugh, I don't care how fine of a grain they're using, that sounds painful! Give me Dr. Brandt's Microdermabrasian any day.

Re: This Is Unbelievable!

OUCH!

I'm all for DIY beauty ideas/treatments, etc...however, isn't it well-known that Scarring & Infection often occur on patients treated in Dr's offices even when sterile, medical grade products are used???

Soooo.....just imagine what could happen if you use 'non-sterile, hardware grade building supplies' to perform DIY Dermabrasion in your (clean but still non-sterile) bathroom???

Re: This Is Unbelievable!

Thats really stupid if someone tried that. The first thing I thought when I read this was how much sandpaper would hurt on your face. If I wanted to rip the flesh off my face, maybe I would use it. Ha.

Hi,

Once I got over the shock of reading the article, then I posted it. I just can not imagine someone taking an item that you use to sand/smooth wood surfaces and using it on the face/body.

Re: This Is Unbelievable!

I remember about 8 years ago reading an interview with a "famous" dermatologist in People magazine. She supposedly had a long list of celebrity clients, and she was based in New York City. I remember being amazed because she advocated daily rubdowns with a pumice stone all over the entire body. OUCH!! She claimed that you had to "work up to it" by starting with a loofah and gradually getting rougher and rougher, but she swore that the constant cell turnover did wonders.

Maybe she's the one sending all of those poor women to Home Depot for their skincare kits.

Re: This Is Unbelievable!

Ive actually been to a website that recommends doing this. It didnt take me long to exit out of it. I could never subject my senistive skin to such a painful thing. I refuse to even us St IVes apricot scrub because I feel it does too much damage.

Re: This Is Unbelievable!

Why would someone deliberately do that to themselves? I think I'm going to stick with the traditional microdermabrasion.
