What is Microdermabrasion?
Years of sun exposure and the aging process
take their toll on the skin, creating lines, wrinkles,
and changes in texture and color. Not only is the
face a likely victim of these changes, but the neck,
chest, cleavage, arms and hands may be affected as
well. Microdermabrasion can reduce the effects of
aging on our skin.
How
does it work?
Resurfacing is a technique for removing the topmost
layer of the skin leaving it supple and vibrant.
The DiamondTome™ Wand removes this layer of
skin by gently exfoliating the skin with natural
diamond chips, while at the same
time vacuuming the dead skin cells away in a sterile and controlled manner.
Removing this outer layer of dead skin cells leaves a smother texture and promotes
the growth of healthy new skin cells.
Resurfacing using a DiamondTome™ Wand is similar to particle microdermabrasion
and chemical peels in its results but without the adverse effects of loose particles,
irritation and skin reaction. Unlike other exfoliation treatments, the DiamondTome™ Skin
Resurfacing System uses no loose abrasives to contaminate you or the environment.
The Advantages of DiamondTome™ Wands
Resurfacing is a wonderful alternative to laser or chemical peels because it
is non-invasive, non-surgical and requires no down time after treatment.
Normal activities may be resumed immediately. Your skin will have a radiant
glow, free of irritation and loose particles. Patients experience softer,
smoother and cleaner skin after the first treatment. Treatment series vary
from four to ten sessions depending on the condition being treated and
the type of skin.
• Sun damaged skin - face,
neck, shoulders
• Age spots - hands, face
• Reduction of minor to moderate early aging fine lines - eyes, forehead
• Blending of cosmetic surgery or laser treatments
• Reduction of acne scarring
• Extraction of blackheads and whiteheads
• Minor scar revision
• Hyperpigmentation reduction
• Oily Skin
• Rejuvenation of skin health
How much discomfort will I experience?
Resurfacing treatments using the DiamondTome™ System are painless
yet effective. The degree of effectiveness is controlled by a widely adjustable
vacuum in conjunction with the varying coarseness of the DiamondTome™ Wands.
Your skin care professional is trained to evaluate the effectiveness of the
treatment while at the same time ensuring your comfort.
Leading plastic surgeons and dermatologists regard the DiamondTome™ System
as being more gentle than other exfoliating systems, even at its highest settings.
How will I look after the treatment?
Your skin may look slightly flushed immediately after the treatment but should
return to normal in 10 - 30 minutes. Your skin will look and feel smoother
even after the first treatment and will continue to improve with additional
treatments.
