The appearance of our skin depends on many factors. Dry, calloused epidermis and accompanying inflammation and acne, especially worsen its condition. What then should we do if the skin of our face is earthy, gray, sometimes discolored and has many blemishes and blackheads? The recipe is simple: diamond microdermabrasion.
Diamond microdermabrasion – what exactly is it?
Diamond microdermabrasion is a professional procedure involving the exfoliation of the epidermis. With a special device equipped with a head with diamond tips. It belongs to one of the most effective treatments. Exfoliating keratinized epidermis, smoothing the skin, unblocking pores, removing accumulated impurities, eliminating discoloration and excessive drying. Importantly, microdermabrasion is painless and brings quick results.
How is the procedure going?
In professional beauty salons, microdermabrasion is usually not performed alone. The best effects can be obtained when combined with e.g. manual skin cleansing, algae masks, and moisturizing therapies. However, it’s worth knowing that microdermabrasion is the most effective and main procedure.
In the case of acne and heavily contaminated skin, it is most often recommended to perform during one visit: microdermabrasion, spot manual skin cleansing, algae mask (e.g. green, intended for acne skin). Such an extensive treatment acts on the skin comprehensively, because it cleanses the epidermis, removes unnecessary calloused tissue, disinfects and calms the skin.
Vapozone can also be used before microdermabrasion. The specialist cosmetologist decides about the necessity of performing this activity after a thorough analysis of the skin condition.
In the case of dry or mature skin, manual cleaning is usually abandoned. The mask applied at the end of the treatment can then be replaced with another type of algae. Sometimes it is worth choosing additional moisturising care.
Before starting any cosmetic procedure, the specialist first performs a thorough makeup removal, then cleanses and tones the skin. Then he can use wapozon, which will additionally soften the epidermis. Only after performing these activities does the proper treatment begin, i.e. microdermabrasion.
The microdermabrasion device is set to specific parameters. Then apply the head to the epidermis and exfoliate manually. The direction of the head and the exfoliation sequence for specific skin parts are very important.
Microdermabrasion – how often should the procedure be performed?
Restoring good skin condition, removing calloused epidermis, healing acne, stimulating the skin to produce new cells, increasing the amount of collagen and elastin are just a few effects that professional microdermabrasion gives. The question is: how many treatments need to be performed to obtain satisfactory improvement?
It all depends on the condition of the skin and the needs of the skin. We receive the first visible effects after one treatment. We can expect perfect reconstruction of the epidermis after about 4-5 treatments.
Their frequency is also set individually. It depends on whether we also use other therapy together with microdermabrasion, e.g. chemical peels.
Who is the treatment for?
Diamond microdermabrasion can be used for almost all skin types. Exception is very sensitive and prone to telangiectasia (i.e. broken capillaries). It is also not performed when the skin is infected with fungal, viral and bacterial conditions, and also has open wounds.
Generally, it is assumed that in people fighting active inflammatory acne, i.e. with purulent lesions, the procedure is not performed. However, if these changes are few and the cosmetologist is able to bypass them, usually qualification for surgery will be successful.
Diamond microdermabrasion treatment is recommended for all people who need to refresh and regenerate their complexion. Regardless of whether it is earthy, discolored, dried or has small wrinkles. In all these cases, microdermabrasion will be effective because it not only exfoliates dead skin. It primarily stimulates collagen and elastin production, enhances the formation of new healthy cells. An additional effect of the treatment is a strong cleansing and oxygenation of the skin, thus restoring the face’s freshness and radiant appearance.
There are often questions on the web: is microdermabrasion recommended during pregnancy? Yes, it belongs to safe and painless procedures, which can also be performed during pregnancy and while breastfeeding.
Microdermabrasion and solarium
Any more advanced cosmetic procedure performed on the face should be a contraindication to using a solarium. It is recommended that you do not use the solarium for two weeks before and two weeks after microdermabrasion. Irritated and freshly tanned skin could react adversely to the treatment, so this should be avoided.
Microdermabrasion – effects
Microdermabrasion gives very good care and healing effects. Perfectly fights both discoloration and acne, reduces the visibility of scars and stretch marks. What else? Removes fine lines and rejuvenates the skin. We get the best results when we combine it with other treatments. F.ex. chemical peels, manual cleansing, moisturizing and nutritional therapies. Therefore, you can expect great results if the treatment is performed by a professional who can determine effective individual treatment in each case.
How to care for the body and skin after the procedure?
The safety of microdermabrasion also translates into the fact that the skin treated with the device does not require special treatment. For the first hour or two it may be slightly red and sensitive. The only thing to avoid is exposing your skin to direct sunlight or sunbathing in the solarium.
Diamond microdermabrasion combines the beneficial properties of natural diamond crystals and the function of Vacuum. It is extremely popular because of its excellent cosmetic effects.
In summary, diamond microdermabrasion is a very effective procedure that brings quick and visible results. However, like any professional cosmetic therapy, it must be performed with good equipment and by a qualified cosmetologist. Appropriate knowledge of the structure and function of the skin. Experience in performing the procedure, knowledge of the equipment, as well as the ability to compose a set of cosmetic procedures to obtain the best results on a given skin is something priceless that only the best clinics can boast.
