Diamond Tip Microdermabrasion is a cosmetic procedure in which the stratum corneum is partially or completely removed by light abrasion. This technique uses a diamond-tipped wand to gently abrade the outermost layer of dead skin cells, revealing fresher, smoother skin underneath.
The superficial abrasion of the skin also triggers the body's own natural repair mechanism, which in turn triggers the production of new collagen and releases gylycaminoglycans to rehydrate and replenish the recently abraded area.
This has a remarkable softening effect on lines and wrinkles, and the treatment can also be used to treat sun damaged skin and acne, but must be repeated periodically to be most effective.
Diamond tip microdermabrasion is a popular non-invasive cosmetic procedure used to exfoliate and rejuvenate the skin.
How It Works
1.Diamond Tip Abrasion: A wand with a diamond-encrusted tip is used to mechanically exfoliate the skin.
2.Vacuum Suction: The device also includes a vacuum that removes the exfoliated skin cells and stimulates blood flow.
3.Skin Renewal: The process promotes the growth of new skin cells and boosts collagen production.
Procedure
1. Consultation: An initial consultation to assess skin type, concerns, and suitability for the treatment.
2. Preparation: The skin is cleansed to remove makeup, oils, and impurities.
3. Treatment: The diamond tip wand is moved across the skin in a controlled manner, exfoliating the outer layer. The vacuum simultaneously removes dead skin cells.
4. Duration: The treatment typically takes about 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the area being treated.
5. Post-Treatment: After the procedure, a soothing moisturiser and sunscreen are applied to protect the skin.
