Sonic vibration technology: A medical grade abrasive steel paddle gently vibrates at a high rate of speed to exfoliate the epidermis while stimulating collagen production. A soft plastic infusion paddle is used to enhance the absorption of topical in the skin.

Air compression technology: Typical Microderm machines use air compression technology to blow, then vacuum fine, sand-like crystals over the face neck and sometimes chest to exfoliate dead skin cells.

Vibraderm can infuse topical at a rate of  60% to 80%.  This is a 400% increase from daily manual application. (Side note:  Our Seda Skin Care line, with its patented OXO Delivery System, has a manual application infusion rate of 75% and a VibraFusion rate of over 90%)

Microderm machines using air compression technology, cannot specifically infuse product; any increase in absorption rate is simply a result of exfoliation.

No cross contamination: Vibraderm uses patient specific paddles that are designed for single patient use.

Hand pieces, tubing, and sometimes crystals are used from patient to patient producing an increased risk of cross contamination. 

Safe for all skin types (I-VI) and conditions (including Rosacea):  Vibraderm treatments cause less trauma to the dermis and therefore cause less erythema (redness) and no edema (swelling). 

Aluminum oxide and crystal microdermabrasion have been shown to leave residue in the skin causing inflammatory reactions and redness for days. The vacuum component can cause or worsen blood vessel formation in the skin.

More effective: Clinical studies have shown that Vibraderm improves fine lines at nearly double that of Microderm.  Over 95% of patients treated with Vibraderm and a standard Microderm in a side by side study preferred Vibraderm from both a comfort and results perspective.

Microderm has not been proven to be more effective than Vibraderm is any study.
