WHAT IS DIAMOND PEEL?
Diamond peel, also known as microdermabrasion, is an aesthetic treatment that deeply exfoliates the skin, removing dead cells from the superficial layer. It is highly effective in removing blemishes and combating wrinkles because it stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, which are essential for keeping the skin firm and even.
Although it is most indicated for facial treatments, diamond peel can also be performed on other areas of the body such as the neck, décolletage, arms, and back, to remove small blemishes left by scars, for example. Additionally, it is a good complementary therapy to eliminate white or red stretch marks.
Diamond peel is not painful, and immediately after the procedure, you can return to work and social activities, unlike chemical peels, which require you to step away from these activities for a few days.
The great advantage of diamond peel is that it is less invasive than other peels and therefore can be used on more skin types as it causes less damage than other types.
BENEFITS OF DIAMOND PEEL
Diamond peel has several benefits and can be used for:
- Removing blemishes present in the most superficial layer of the skin, known as melanosis;
- Treating acne scars;
- Softening and removing wrinkles;
- Unclogging pores;
- Treating stretch marks;
- Reducing skin oiliness.
Diamond peel works by exfoliation, performed with the help of specific equipment, which, in addition to removing the layer of dead cells, stimulates collagen production, improving the skin's appearance, texture, and look.
WHEN IS IT NOT INDICATED?
Diamond peel is not recommended for those with very sensitive or inflamed skin, or with grade II, III, or IV acne. In these cases, it is necessary to wait until the skin has healed and the dermatologist authorizes the procedure to avoid injuries.
HOW MANY SESSIONS SHOULD I DO?
The number of diamond peel sessions depends on the person's skin condition and the treatment objective, and it may take two to five or more sessions to achieve the desired result.
Sessions usually last 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the area to be treated. The interval between each session should be 15 to 30 days.
To protect the skin and prevent the appearance of new blemishes and other complications, some precautions should be taken from the first diamond peel session:
-
Avoid sun exposure
-
Regular and essential use of creams recommended by the dermatologist to hydrate and regenerate the skin
-
Use of sunscreen with a minimum SPF of 50
-
If possible, use thermal water to soothe the skin
-
Moderate use of makeup
Regarding pre-treatment care, it is advisable to discontinue the use of acids for at least 48 hours beforehand.
WHICH BODY AREAS CAN I USE DIAMOND PEEL ON?
Diamond peel can be used on any part of the body.
In addition to facial use (wrinkles, blemishes, enlarged pores), the most common uses are: décolletage rejuvenation (softening wrinkles and fine lines), hand rejuvenation (improving texture, fine wrinkles, and blemishes), and for red and white stretch marks.
