This is called a V-A shunt (Ventricular-Atrial shunt). There are pictures of the two types of shunts in the pictures above. The shunt has a valve, which controls the amount of fluid that flows from the brain to the abdomen or heart. The most common complications of a ventricular shunt are infection and malfunction. Malfunction can be caused by blockage in the shunt, the shunt breaking or because a valve in the shunt is not working.
The minimum interval is 7 to 10 days for a course of treatments. Where you are correcting open pores, wrinkles, lines etc the interval can be quite close. The interval can be adjusted on your skincare therapists advice depending upon skin type and depth of treatment. Maintenance treatments on a 4 to 6 week basis are recommended. Skin renews itself approximately monthly and can take this amount of time to begin to see the true results of your microdermabrasion treatments.
Microdermabrasion is often gentle enough that it can be used every week or two. Most chemical peels can only be done once a month. You can use both treatments for maximum results. Use a chemical peel one week and then weekly microdermabrasion treatments for a week or two following the glycolic acid peel. TIP! Glycolic acid peels and microdermabrasion both address common skin problems like fine lines, rough texture and even hyperpigmentation.
