What is Wet Microdermabrasion?

I've seen this called the Silk Peel and the Parisian Peel -- are they the same things? If not, how do they differ? How does wet microdermabrasion differ from traditional microdermabrasion? Is one better, or worse, than the other -- and why?

Can wet microdermabrasion be used 10 days or so after a photofacial (IPL)? Looking forward to your comments and information!

The amount of crystals and the amount of pressure they hit the skin are all controlled by the technician. This gives the technician the ability to go as deep or as superficial as needed... more
