                        Diamond microdermabrasion -soft skin resurfacing treatment 
 

About the treatment: diamond microdermabrasionis an easy and effective anti-aging treatment that can be performed not only on the face but also on the body. Microdermabrasion is an essentially powerful mechanical exfoliation carried out with a cosmetic diamond-tip microdermabrasion machine.

Treatment principle: The microdermabrasion technology has been around since 1985. The first microderm technology was called crystal microdermabrasion. It used a wand to both spray and vacuum up aluminum oxide crystals onto the skin. Crystal microdermabrasion was upgraded and followed by Diamond-tip microdermabrasion.

Diamond microdermabrasion uses a hand-held wand incorporated with vacuum technology, so there is no need for any crystals moving through the tip. The diamond tip itself exfoliates the skin and the vacuum whisks the dead skin away. Various tips are available (grades of roughness), so the treatment can be customized to the individual needs of skin condition and skin type.

Benefits of diamond microdermabrasion:

• Diamond microdermabrasion smoothens out coarse textured skin, therefore the skin care products (active serums and ampoules) can penetrate into the deeper layers of the skin and help build collagen, which gives skin its youthful appearance.
• After the treatment the skin feels literally „breathing”
• Softens fine lines and wrinkles,
• Helps to decrease appearance of superficial scarring
• Decreases pore size
• Reduces superficial hyper-pigmentation, age spots, signs of photo-aging.

What part of the body can be treated?  All body parts can be treated: face, neck, chest, arms, back, etc.

How is the treatment carried out?

• After the area is thoroughly cleansed and disinfected your esthetician will pick the right diamond tips for your skin type and condition and adjust the vacuum suction on the machine.
• The treated site will be gently massaged with the handpiece.
• If there is need to soothe the skin, our machine has a built in cooling system that can effectively calm the skin.
• There are additional treatments available such as Ozone therapy, to detoxify the skin and promote oxygen absorption, natural regeneration.
• The effectiveness of microdermabrasion can be enhanced by additional ultrasonic facials. With the help of cosmetic ultrasound the high dose active ingredients can more deeply penetrate into the skin. Also with masks and packs according to your skin type great cosmetic results can be achieved. The skin feels not only smooth but invigorated and glowing.

How many treatments are necessary to achieve optimal results?

During your initial consultation our esthetician will recommend you a treatment plan. Usually a course of treatment is between 1-10 treatments, depending on your skin type, skin condition and the goal you are wishing to achieve.

What will my skin look like after the treatment?

Right after the treatment you will notice an immediate change: the skin feels not only smoother but invigorated and have a glowing complexion. It is common that slight redness occurs after treatment, which can be balanced with the application of the cooling handpiece. Hydration of the skin is much important after the treatment, since diamond microdermabrasion is a skin peeling treatment so the skin will naturally peel off. To support the natural healing process it is essential to strictly follow the aftercare instructions and to hydrate the skin with proper creams and lotions as well as protect from the sun, so wear appropriate sunscreen! Our staff will gladly help you pick the right skin care products.

When I look in the mirror I see not only a dull complexion but overall my skin looks grey and it feels coarse. Is this microdermabrasion treatment right for me?

Yes! Right after the treatment you will feel your skin is breathing! As a result of the soft-resurfacing, the coarse grayish layer of dead skin cells will slough off so the skin will have a much healthier and softer look, the skin color and texture will be more even.
