There are many different strategies in today’s skincare spas to revitalize the surface of the skin, but some have been shown to deliver more dramatic results than others. Microdermabrasion is a popular choice of skincare treatment, thanks to the incredible benefits it offers patients. By exfoliating the skin and removing the outermost layer of damaged, dead skin cells, microdermabrasion can leave the skin feeling and looking younger, healthier, and more vibrant. The latest technique, Diamond-Tome Microdermabrasion, offers some of the most dramatic and outstanding results yet.
How Does Diamond-Tome Microdermabrasion Work?
Traditional microdermabrasion techniques use a form of mechanical medium to exfoliate the skin, lifting off the top layer of dead skin cells. It is a less intense but still effective form of dermabrasion technique that works to agitate the unhealthy skin cells in order to expose the healthy skin layers beneath. All microdermabrasion techniques use a gentle but effective exfoliating agent; for Diamond-Tome Microdermabrasion, that agent is natural diamond chip wands. These wands are used to resurface the topmost layer of skin, leaving it both smooth and vibrant. Diamond-Tome Microdermabrasion also addresses common skin concerns such as fine lines, sun damage, acne and scarring.
Diamond-Tome Microdermabrasion is also unique because it incorporates vacuum therapy to help cleanse the pores and remove blackheads. In this way, it combines the techniques of a microdermabrasion and a facial all in one procedure. The surface of the skin is renewed and rejuvenated, while the deeper pores are cleared out for a full skincare treatment. Many patients also opt to combine a Diamond-Tome Microdermabrasion with a chemical peel to intensify the penetration and achieve maximum results. While the Diamond-Tome Microdermabrasion treatment is most often used on the face, patients can add on treatments for their chest , hands, arms, and lower legs.
Who Benefits from Diamond-Tome Microdermabrasion?
Nearly everyone can benefit from a microdermabrasion treatment to help keep their skin looking and feeling great. As we age, the natural process of skin cell turnover slows, leaving excess dead skin cells atop the face especially. These dead skin cells can block healthy cells from reaching the surface, leaving the skin uneven in tone, texture, and quality. Dead skin cells remaining on the skin’s surface can also clog pores, cause blemishes to form, and settle into wrinkles, exaggerating their appearance. Any technique that can remove these unwanted cells can have tremendous benefits.
Specifically, Diamond-Tome Microdermabrasion can offer patients a safe and precise way to remove these dead skin cells. The treatment is a controllable method of dead skin layer removal that can be selectively used to deliver the results best suited to the patient’s needs. Diamond-Tome Microdermabrasion also eliminates many of the risks, side effects and other complications that are commonly associated with traditional dermabrasion and even some varieties of laser skin resurfacing. The skin is not only refreshed by the removal of dead skin cells during microdermabrasion, but it is also encouraged to renew the surface cells and produce both collagen and elastin. This unique treatment requires very little care, recovery, and restrictions following it, so there is no pressure to set aside large amounts of time off for a Diamond-Tome Microdermabrasion.
What Skin Concerns Does Diamond-Tome Microdermabrasion Address?
Because the Diamond-Tome Microdermabrasion procedure can accomplish so much, there are many skin concerns addressed during the treatment. First and foremost, this technique is ideal for the treatment of superficial wrinkles and fine lines, particularly those around the mouth and at the corners of the eyes. Diamond-Tome is also effective at softening wrinkles present in the forehead and cheeks. Those with blotchy, uneven skin tones can also see drastic improvements following their Diamond-Tome treatment, as well as patients with pigmentation concerns, age spots, and even sun spots. Finally, acne patients will also get some relief when blackheads and whiteheads are effectively removed and the pores are cleared of debris.
What Will My Diamond-Tome Microdermabrasion Be Like?
When you decide that a Diamond-Tome Microdermabrasion is the right treatment for your skin, your procedure should last roughly 15 to 20 minutes. The treatment includes a mechanized exfoliation that is even and controlled, concentrating on the surface layer of the skin. You will also experience a vacuum-like sensation as the dead skin cells are removed and the pores are penetrated and cleaned. This piece of the treatment also helps stimulate collagen growth in the deep layers of the cells, leaving you with supple, fresh-looking skin long after your procedure.
Following your Diamond-Tome Microdermabrasion, you will likely experience some mild redness and skin inflammation. This should not last very long at all and will subside gradually by itself, involving very little discomfort. There is no recovery period or recommended downtime following a Diamond-Tome Microdermabrasion, unless you pair your procedure with another in-office treatment that requires recuperation. Discuss the specifics of your microdermabrasion appointment with your plastic surgeon or aesthetician ahead of time to be clear on what you’ll need to know.
