Diamond Microdermabrasion
what is microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion is an exfoliative treatment that is ideal for rejuvenation of the skin, resulting in an improved texture and tone.
how it works
Over time, our skin develops a build up of dead skin that clogs pores and results in dry patches, enlarged looking pores and overall less radiant skin. Microdermabrasion is an effective way of removing this build up, so that your skin is left feeling smooth and radiant. Tone is healthier and texture is softer.
why this treatment?
Superficial acne, blackheads, can be improved and preventative, pigmentary conditions like minor sun damage and post acne hyperpigmentation (PIHP) are lightened and more even over time.
From the first treatment you will notice improvement of overall tone and texture. With continued treatments, you will notice improvements in pigmentation, fine lines, and acne.
the process
A resurfacing double-cleanse with soothing warm towels is the first step in preparing the skin for treatment. Diamond encrusted handpiece tips and vacuum suction are selected depending on exfoliation aggression and the wand is glided over the skin in a uniform and consistent pattern. You will feel a gentle suction with a slightly gritty like exfoliation.
This treatment does not produce any discomfort and is quite relaxing. After the build up of dead skin cell layers, dirt, oil, and impurities is removed a soothing masque is applied. You can close your eyes and relax as a stimulating arm and hand massage is provided. After the masque removal, personalized skincare products are applied to your fresh, new skin to hydrate and protect. Skin may be slightly warm and red, but this sensation and appearance only lasts for the next few hours.
