DIAMOND DERMABRASION
HOT & COLD THERAPY & ULTRASONIC TREATMENTS
What is the Ultrasonic Treatment?
The Ultrasonic skin scrubber is the latest treatment which removes dead skin cells, smooth out wrinkles, treats pimples and clears the complexion. The technology uses ultrasonic waves to shake loose dead skin cells. The ultrasonic will also create heat and vibration to give a pleasant massage which will drive creams and ampoules into the skin. The pimples in pores are instantaneously emulsified by the ultrasonic wave and cleared away painlessly.
This method cleans the skin thoroughly, and will have significant effects on the skin, especially for facial treatments. It employs a variety of currents to produce vibrations at incredible speeds of 28,000 vibrations per second. These safe high frequency vibrations are scientifically designed to gradually remove any imperfections such as dead skin cells, dirt, grease particles and black and whiteheads.

How does it work?
Diamond dermabrasion is a creative improvement of the Micro-crystal dermabrasion that provides a non-surgical skin refinish procedure, by using sterile diamond heads to abrade or rub off the top skin layer, then vacuuming out the particles alongside any dirt and dead skin back up.
The procedure removes skin debris and helps to improve skin imperfections and blemishes.

Diamond dermabrasion can be used to treat dull skin and discoloration that can make your skin look less youthful, though it does have a multitude of additional benefits:
- Evens out skin texture
- Patients usually notice smoother skin and a more-radiant complexion after treatment, it’s not magic: Suction stimulates collagen production, which makes the skin appear smoother and more youthful.
- Improves your complexion
- Rejuvenates skin damaged by the sun (face – including hard to treat lip and character lines, neck, shoulders, arms and legs). Diamond microdermabrasion gently stimulates the skin to promote blood circulation and give the skin an instant glow, resulting in an improvement of overall skin health.
- Reduces age spots and dark spots left by acne
- Removing dead cells from the surface of the skin leaves your face looking more radiant.
- Improves product absorption
- Diamond microdermabrasion clears the way for anti-aging and skin-bleaching products to reach and penetrate the skin more easily.
- Removes dirt out of clogged pores Removing dead skin cells allows skin to “breathe” which loosens excess oil build up and makes facial extractions easier and less painful. (i.e., removal of blackheads and whiteheads). For people on the go, a deep exfoliation treatment using the Diamond dermabrasion offers exceptional benefits. Ideal for a special event or as a program for overall skin rejuvenation, this treatment is non-invasive, painless and requires no downtime from work to social activities.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CRYSTAL AND DIAMOND MICRODERMABRASION?
The regular crystal micro dermabrasion technology involves the use of a special, hand-held device that propels a high-speed flow of aluminium oxide crystals onto the skin. At the same time, the machine’s vacuum system sucks away dirt, dead cells and used crystals.
The Diamond dermabrasion system, on the other hand, replaces the micro-crystal flow with a reusable diamond tip wand. Areas closer to the eyes and mouth can be abraded more accurately with diamond abrasion (no risk of stray crystals irritation of client’s eyes, nose and throat or causing any damage by being ingested).

How many treatments are required?
How many treatments you will need is completely dependent on what your end goal is. As a one-off beauty treatment, a session will leave your skin looking bright and feeling rejuvenated.
However, if you're looking for improvement of a specific skin problem, you really need a series of treatments to see any positive effects.
Clients should come for a treatment every 2 weeks. A proper skin care program with skincare products combined with diamond dermabrasion is the key and will enhance the results of the treatment.
A series of between 6-15 treatments is advised dependant on the area/s being treated, the skins needs and your personal skincare goals. Following completion of your initial treatment package, it is advised that you have maintenance treatments once every 3 months. The fact that Diamond dermabrasion is performed in a series of treatments allows the clinician to gradually and safely take the skin to new levels of health and beauty without compromising its delicate nature.

Your skin is likely to be a little pink following treatment, this should dissipate within a few hours.
In between this time, you should take care of your skin by cleansing, toning and moisturising twice a day.
