How is Diamond Microdermabrasion done:

Diamond microdermabrasion is done with the help of microdermabrasion tips covered in tiny uniformly sized diamonds. The fine diamond shaped crystals are used to buff off dead cells from the skin and to refine it. The tip makes contact with the skin and abrades against the top layer pulling it off. Then the dead cells are sucked away by the microdermabrasion machine. The wand is usually passed over the treated area of the skin for three times.

Diamond microdermabrasion tips are usually synthetic because of the lower cost, but also can be natural. Diamond microdermabrasion machines can have an assortment of tips with varying sizes. The tip used in the procedure depends on the patient’s skin. Usually tip 100 is used for course skin, 200 – for normal skin, 300 – for sensitive skin. Diamond microdermabrasion machines can have from 2 to 9 different microdermabrasion tips.

The microdermabrasion tips are not disposable and need a great cleansing between treatments. Usually diamond microdermabrasion tips are sterilized with alcohol, steam or UV light.

Diamond microdermabrasion is a combination of suction and diamond tip exfoliation processes, increasing of the suction makes the whole microdermabrasion process stronger. The stronger microdermabrasion is suitable to treat body skin, old stretch marks and deeper scars. Suction also stimulates collagen and elastin production and increases blood flow to the skin.
