 Diamond Microdermabrasion

 

The Diamond Microdermabrasion provided a non-surgical skin refinish procedure, by using diamond heads to abrade or rub off the top skin layer, then vacuuming out the particles along with any dirt and dead skin.

Who Can Benefit From Microdermabrasion?

 

Microdermabrasion can be helpful to treat aging and sun-damaged skin, altered pigmentation, fine lies and wrinkles, stretch marks, acne scarring.                                      
Because microdermabrasion removes dead surface skin cells and initiates cellular turnover, results may include improved skin tone, reduced visual appearance of aging, fewer breakouts, diminished appearance of scars, refined skin pores, renewed elasticity, and a healthy glow.

Post Treatment/Home Care

 

  • Aerobic exercise or vigorous physical activity should be avoided until all redness has subsided.

  • Direct sunlight exposure is to be completely avoided immediately following the treatment (including any strong UV light exposure and tanning beds). If some sun exposure cannot be avoided, first apply sunscreen with SPF of 30 or greater.

  • Although sunscreen should be a part of your daily skin care, for a minimum of two weeks, a sunscreen with at least a SPF of 15 must be applied.

  • Also, avoid products containing harsh chemicals, dyes, or perfumes until the skin fully healed.

 

Be aware that many changes may occur deeper within the skin over time. When participating in a series of treatments, along with a commitment to your daily skin care regimen, noticeable differences may indeed be the outcome.

 

You may see a reduction of fine lines and a softening of deeper wrinkles, reduction of discoloration, softening and possible reduction in scars, and an overall improvement to the skin’s tone and appearance.

What Should You Expect During Your Treatment?  

    

Most clients do not find the procedure to be painful, and it requires no anesthetic.

 

Your skin will look glowing and fresh almost immediately after the treatment.

 

Some more aggressive treatments may cause the skin to look slightly pink and tender for a few hours afterward.
