Microdermabrasion (DiamondTome)
Microdermabrasion is an FDA-approved aesthetic exfoliation system that removes the superficial layer of skin by gently polishing the skin with natural diamond chips bonded to the tip of the wand while vacuuming exfoliated skin cells away. Removing the outer layer leaves a smoother texture, promotes the growth of healthy new skin, and stimulates collagen. For preventative care and to maintain healthy skin, treatments are recommended every 6-8 weeks
It is advised to avoid sun exposure, tanning creams, and waxing in the week leading up to the appointment. Any concerns with the condition of the skin prior to and afterward is welcome in the consultation.
Benefits of Microdermabrasion
A great plus of microdermabrasion is that there is very little if anything needed to prepare before; only making sure the face is clean and free of makeup is necessary. Another great plus is that after microdermabrasion it is possible to resume your daily routine soon after. Lastly, no anesthesia or any kind of numbing is required, nor does it take long at all to go through with or see the results.
