Crystal free microdermabrasion treatment is the quickest, easiest, and safest way to offer your skin a superb monthly maintenance therapy that you deserve. Microdermabrasion treatment has evolved over the years and has been clinically proven to effectively reduce the appearance of dry/oil skin, fine lines, sun damage, acne scars, whiteheads, age spots, and hyper pigmentation.  Using a crystal free diamond type microdermabrason system is the highest volume non-invasive aesthetic procedure; this is one of the most common requested treatments by woman for anti-aging at medical spas today.

Resurfacing using a diamond system is similar to the elder class of crystal systems, without the adverse effects of loose aluminum-oxide crystals contaminating you or the environment. The procedure is painless, minimal risk, beneficial for all skin types, no down time, and non-invasive which makes it the perfect lunch time treatment.

Diamond microdermabrasion relies on microdermabrasion tips covered in tiny diamonds to perform skin exfoliation. When the diamond microdermabrasion tip makes contact with the skin it abrades against the top layer pulling it off. The microdermabrasion machine then sucks the loose dead skin cells away from the face. Otherwise, diamond and crystal microdermabrasion peel procedures are exactly the same in that the treatment provider passes the wand over each area of your skin two times.

The diamonds on the microdermabrasion tip are actually thousands of tiny diamond particles which are uniformly sized. Diamond microdermabrasion machines come with an assortment of tips of varying sizes. The appropriate diamond tip to use depends on the patient’s individual skin condition. By having more choice in which diamond tip to use, diamond microdermabrasion offers greater customization of treatment.

Diamond microdermabrasion machines can come with anywhere between 2 – 5different microdermabrasion tips. Diamond microdermabrasion tips are not disposable which means great care has to be taken in cleaning them between treatments. Diamond microdermabrasion tips are sterilized in steam, alcohol or UV light. One certain advantage of diamond microdermabrasion is that there is no risk of microdermabrasion crystals getting trapped inside skin pores as can sometimes happen.

This treatment is harmless for most skin types, normally I will stay away from patients with severe rosacea or a high grade acne vulgaris this is to prevent the spread of bacteria from acne pustules. Microdermabarsion is best suited to be done once a month; this will be an ideal way to prevent aging we undergo daily from air pollution, smoke, and sun.

For optimum results, Microdermabrasion involves a series of treatments. True, modest results may be achieved with a single visit. However, it is unrealistic and unfounded to anticipate significant change from just one treatment. In the final analysis, the number of treatments depends on the type of skin you have.

Microdermabrasion cannot remove tattoos, major acne scarring, other deep scars or deep wrinkles. It treats only the skin’s outer layer (stratum corneum). This being the case, serious side effects is not an issue. Being totally non-invasive, there is practically no discomfort, down time or recovery. Patients typically encounter some redness for about an hour after the procedure. Healing time for most is just a few days. Treatments usually last 20-30 minutes for the face and longer if you include your upper chest and hands. Some patients may experience a tightness and redness of the skin, comparing it to the feeling of mild sunburn.  

Always keep in mind to consult first with a trained technician, and read your consent forms before treatment, although this treatment is extremely safe it may have a few contradictions with some topical medications and the herpes simplex virus. I recommend wearing a SPF during microdermabarson treatments it ought to be worn daily as this will cause you to be more sun sensitive.
