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?

Re: This Is Unbelievable!
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??? scp |
