Diamondtip Microderabrasion

DiamondTip microdermabrasion is done by gently abrading the skin with a variety of stainless-steel tips imbedded with laser cut diamond chips, while at the same time using suction to remove the dead skin cells and stimulate collagen production. It is like crystal microdermabrasion and chemical peels in its results, but without the adverse effects of loose particles, irritation, and skin reaction.

Treatments are painless yet effective. Your skin may look slightly flushed immediately after the treatment but should return to normal in 10–30 minutes. Your skin will look and feel smoother and more youthful even after the first treatment and will continue to improve with additional treatments.

Microdermabrasion is a wonderful alternative to laser or harsh chemical peels because it is non–invasive, non–surgical and requires no down time after treatment. Normal activities may be resumed immediately after treatment, and your skin is free of redness, irritation, and particle contamination.

An initial treatment series is usually six sessions, although even a single treatment produces beautiful visible results. Treatments are scheduled about three weeks apart. As dead skin will always continue to accumulate, most patients schedule maintenance treatments every few months or as needed. Your skin may appear light pink after the treatment. This soon passes. Both moisturizers and makeup may be immediately applied. We apply sunscreen after each treatment, and recommended sunscreen use on the treated areas daily.

Patients who desire a smooth, refreshed appearance to their skin, those sensitive to the chemicals involved in other treatments, or those not responding well to acne medications typically are good candidates for microdermabrasion. The treatment is not lengthy, and the recovery period is short. Microdermabrasion is an excellent choice for all skin types. Microdermabrasion is an excellent treatment prior to FotoFacial Skin Rejuvenation – allowing an increased penetration of the light–based treatment. Patients who are pregnant or have pacemakers CAN safely be treated with Microdermabrasion.
