What is Diamond Dermabrasion?
Diamond Dermabrasion is a cosmetic procedure that involves the use of a diamond tipped headpiece to exfoliate the surface layers of the skin. It is a non-invasive and painless skin resurfacing treatment that is an alternative to chemical peels and Fractional Laser treatments.
Diamond Dermabrasion is commonly used to improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, sun damaged skin and age spots, that’s why it is also called Diamond Peel. It is a safe and effective way to rejuvenate the skin and achieve a youthful, glowing complexion.
Diamond Dermabrasion Prices - Cost
The cost of Diamond Dermabrasion treatment depends on the area, the number and depth of the wrinkles and imperfections of your face. The final cost of your personalized treatment will be known to you, at the end of your consultation, with our qualified Doctors, but in order to have an estimation of the starting cost of Diamond Dermabrasion, this is 40 euros.
Is Diamond Dermabrasion the same as
Crystals Microdermabrasion?
Because this treatment is highly dependent on the device (proper force of crystal flow and suction), crystal microdermabrasion is often a less reliable form of dermabrasion.
Another downside to this particular treatment is that crystal particles may be left on the skin, as it is hard to completely remove them all.
Diamond dermabrasion, on the other hand, involves the use of a diamond-tipped wand that is used to slough away the top level of the skin, while the wand’s vacuum sucks up dirt and dead skin cells. No particles are left on the skin, as it is a particle-free method. Rather than depending the results in the settings of a device, the diamond dermabrasion relies on the skills of the operator to apply manual pressure, giving the technician much more direct control over the entire process.
The difference between the two treatments can easily be understood by comparing them to “sandblasting,” which is the crystal method, and “sandpapering,” which is the diamond method. While the crystal treatment is the traditional microdermabrasion treatment, it is slowly being phased out and replaced by the newer system of diamond-tipped wand dermabrasion. Diamond-tipped wands have been shown to be safer and more precise and are a great option for clients with any skin condition.
Diamond Dermabrasion Indications
Diamond Dermabrasion Step by Step
Assessment of your Face
Before the treatment begins, a short assessment is made by the Doctor, in order to assess the type of your skin, to discuss your skin’s needs and the purpose of the treatment.
Thorough Cleaning and Disinfection
After the assessment has been completed, the area is thoroughly cleaned and disinfected with special cleaning products and toners to lower the skin's pH for better preparation of the skin and to make sure that all traces of dirt and make-up have been completely removed.
Setting the suction of the Device
Depending on the type and thickness of the skin, the corresponding negative pressure that the diamond head will exert on the skin must be adjusted. The more resistant and elastic the patient's skin is, the more it allows us to increase suction. If for example, the skin is thin, dehydrated and sensitive, as the skin with rosacea is, unfortunately it does not allow us to work with the same intensity, as we will cause greater irritation.
Actual Treatment
Diamond Dermabrasion involves the use of a diamond-tipped wand to exfoliate the skin and remove its surface layers. It is a non-invasive and painless alternative to chemical peels and laser treatments. The diamond tip is attached to a hand-held device that is used to gently sand the skin, removing dead skin cells, fine lines and other imperfections. The procedure stimulates blood flow and collagen production, which leads to healthier and smoother skin.
Hydration - Skin Care
The last and extremely important step is completed with hydration of the skin, which achieves penetration of active ingredients into the deeper layers of the skin. Since the skin has now been completely cleansed, it is ready to receive a series of therapeutic "serums" of antioxidant ingredients, vitamins, retinol and hyaluronic acid, which are personalized according to your needs, by the medical staff of our Clinics.
All you need to know about Diamond Dermabrasion
Instructions Before Diamond Dermabrasion
If possible, it would be a good idea to come without make-up on your face for your treatment.
You should have stopped using exfoliating products, which may contain salicylic, glycolic or other acids, as well as retinol for 3 - 5 days before your appointment.
It would also be good to avoid prolonged exposure to the sun or solarium for up to 5 days before your dermabrasion.
Instructions After the Diamond Dermabrasion treatment
It is absolutely necessary to wash your face as normal, from the very first day, after your treatment, using a cleanser of your choice, bearing in mind that you should not scrub your face vigorously during the first week. Avoid using a loofah, scrub or peel until your skin has fully recovered after dermabrasion.
Avoid using a loofah sponge, scrub or peel until your skin has been fully recovered.
If you are taking oral isotretinoin for your acne, it is possible to have a Diamond Dermabrasion treatment. But you should inform us in advance, so that we can be more careful during your treatment.
It is necessary to protect your skin from the sun after cleansing the face. Sunscreen should be applied to the face and neck, every time you are exposed to the sun and reapplied every 2 hours.
After your dermabrasion, you should use fresh towels, sheets and pillowcases in order to avoid any possibility of skin infections on freshly abraded skin.
Until your skin is fully healed, you should not use any products that contain Retinol, AHA, BHA and peeling products. Don't over exfoliate your skin by using extra exfoliants (like scrubs or exfoliating brushes) for the next 3-4 days after your dermabrasion. Excessive exfoliation can lead to irritation or sensitivity, so it's best to wait until your skin has fully recovered.
It would be ideal not to apply make-up to the face for the first 24 hours after the treatment. In case you must use make-up, we advise you to avoid removing make-up with baby wipes and intense friction on your face. We suggest removing make-up gently using a mild facial cleanser.
Continuous moisturization of the area is necessary after facial cleansing treatments, for faster and better healing of the skin. We recommend the use of a non-greasy hyaluronic serum for the first 5-7 days, after diamond dermabrasion and you should apply it at least twice a day. Be careful not to use creams that are heavy in texture and products that are not oil-free, because there is a chance that you will get pimples from the oiliness, as the skin heals.
Avoid vigorous physical activity and sauna for 2 - 4 days after dermabrasion. Increased blood circulation to the face and sweating on the face can cause burning, itching and redness in the skin that has recently undergone dermabrasion.
For best results and maintenance of healthy skin, we advise you to repeat your Diamond Dermabrasion treatment every 4-6 months.
Myths and Truths about Diamond Dermabrasion
Myth: Diamond Dermabrasion can remove deep wrinkles and acne scars
Truth: No, unfortunately this is not the case and you should be very careful where you go for your treatment. Many places, even medical practices, have cheap imitations of Fractional Lasers and not the original device. Anything that emits red light is not necessarily a Laser. It is common for people to come to our Clinics with acne scars or stretch marks and tell us that they had 8 to 10 sessions with "fractional laser" in other places, without results and because of this bad experience, they acquired a general disbelief for the therapeutic benefits of Fractional Laser. But in reality, they never had a Fractional Laser, but an imitation of it.
Myth: Diamond Dermabrasion is Painful
Truth: This is a myth, as Fractional Laser is one of the treatments for acne, especially when combined with acne peels and acne Dermalux phototherapy. Also, needless to say, Fractional is an amazing treatment for both acne scar prevention and treatment of the scars.
