Diamond Tip Microdermabrasion: Exfoliate and Rejuvenate Your Skin
It should come as no surprise that the process of exfoliation plays a substantial role in the health and wellness of your skin. What you may not know is that there are multiple ways to exfoliate your skin. From chemical peels to manual exfoliants, there’s an ever growing selection to choose from, but today we will be discussing the elevated way to exfoliate your face: Diamond Tip Microdermabrasion.
What is diamond tip microdermabrasion?
Similar to the process of crystal microdermabrasion, diamond microdermabrasion utilizes a pen-like apparatus encrusted with a diamond tip to remove dead skin and dirt that may be clogging your pores. As the diamond tip is brushed across the skin, any skin cells removed from the surface of your skin will be sucked up into the wand and removed from your face, leaving clean, clear skin behind.
What skin concerns does diamond tip microdermabrasion target?
Those with acne scars, age spots, fine lines, and uneven skin tone are ideal candidates for microdermabrasion. Due to the gentle nature of the process, it's intended for skin concerns residing on the surface of the skin.
What are the benefits of diamond tip microdermabrasion?
Since this process is minimally invasive – no cuts or poking necessary – this procedure offers a wealth of fantastic benefits for your skin. Right after your treatment, you can expect:
Improved skin texture
Reduction of hyperpigmentation
Pore cleansing
Stimulation of collagen production
Reduction in the appearance of stretch marks
Enhanced product absorption
No downtime
Safe for most skin types
A quick and convenient procedure
Who should receive the treatment?
The truth is, anyone looking to improve the look and texture of their skin should get this treatment. In fact, even if there are no overt skin care concerns to address, diamond microdermabrasion can help keep skin looking youthful and healthy as a preventative treatment against signs of aging.
The diamond tip microdermabrasion process
While categorized as a microdermabrasion process, the diamond tip offers a different experience than other microdermabrasion treatments. Below we’ll cover what’s different and what to expect both during and after your facial.
How does diamond tip microdermabrasion differ from other microdermabrasion treatments?
In other more common forms of microdermabrasion, there are small granules of materials such as crystals that are used to exfoliate the top level of your skin. While both diamond microdermabrasion and other resurfacing treatments are considered manual exfoliants, the diamond treatment does not use small granules to exfoliate the skin.
Instead, the diamond tip is gently dragged along the skin and used as a means to remove unwanted skin cells and dirt that has accumulated. This allows diamond tip microdermabrasion to be used on even sensitive skin types with less discomfort, and more consistent results!
How does the treatment feel on your skin?
There should be practically no discomfort associated with the process as the diamond does not cut or puncture the skin. In most cases, the only feeling you should be able to notice is the suction associated with removing the debris from your face.
Is there any aftercare following a microdermabrasion treatment?
Similar to the aftercare associated with a number of facials, it is important to avoid harsh products and direct sunlight for the first 24 to 48 hours following your appointment. Additionally, keeping the skin hydrated is going to be crucial for achieving the best possible results.
Other frequently asked questions about diamond tip microdermabrasion
While we’ve covered the basics, let’s take a moment to review some frequently asked questions that many other clients have brought up either before or during the appointments.
How long does a session of diamond tip microdermabrasion take?
The length of the process can vary as your esthetician may want to proceed with some extractions or a mask or two during your appointment. Here at Renewal Skin Studio, our sessions normally take around an hour to complete.
When will you see results from the treatment?
Results come in two stages. First, you’ll see immediate skin improvement on dull and textured skin from exfoliation. Over time and with multiple appointments, each client should see an overall improvement with discoloration, fine lines, uneven skin texture, and scarring.
How often should you receive diamond tip microdermabrasion?
Spacing of each appointment is based on your skin concerns. Your esthetician will let you know if this needs to be done every few weeks or if it can be spaced out farther than that. Most people see great results by coming in for a microdermabrasion appointment once a month.
