Diamond microdermabrasion is a non-invasive exfoliation treatment that uses a fine tipped diamond wand that exerts a vacuum to gently extract clogged pores, which contribute to formation of white heads, black heads, and inflammation. The result is smoother and clearer skin.
This treatment is excellent for improving skin texture and tone, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and minimizing pores. It can also help fade age spots, sun damage, and mild acne scars while promoting better absorption of skincare products.
Microdermabrasion is suitable for all skin types and requires no downtime, making it a popular choice for those seeking immediate results with minimal recovery. Most patients notice immediately smoother, brighter skin after just one treatment.
During the procedure, you may feel a mild scratching sensation as the device moves across your skin, along with gentle suction to remove the exfoliated cells. The treatment typically takes 30-45 minutes and is generally comfortable, requiring no anesthesia.
After treatment, your skin may appear slightly pink or feel tight, similar to a mild sunburn, but this usually resolves within a few hours. It's important to use sunscreen and avoid direct sun exposure following treatment, as your newly revealed skin will be more sensitive.
For optimal results, a series of treatments spaced 2-4 weeks apart is recommended. Many patients choose to maintain their results with monthly maintenance sessions.
