deep peeling
is prescribed for pronounced age-related changes, keloid scars and postpartum stretch marks.

general description

Facial cleansing using diamond peeling is a modern and unique method that helps quickly and painlessly get rid of dead skin cells and various skin defects caused by injury or illness.

The procedure does not cause discomfort or allergic reactions, does not injure or damage the integrity of the skin.

It allows you to remove age spots, acne marks, fine wrinkles and small scars. One grinding session guarantees the removal of 80% of the epidermis and complete cleansing of the pores from sebaceous gland contaminants.

The exfoliation device is equipped with nozzles with different fractions of crystalline chips, which undergo laser processing. The degree of impact on the skin is determined by its size: the smaller, the more delicate.

Comfort and safety of manipulations is achieved with the help of a special vacuum hood; it instantly removes dust formed during the work process.

Who is suitable for diamond peeling?

In practice, it has been proven that the positive effect is most noticeable in girls twenty-five to thirty years old.

What should you go to a cosmetologist with:

• with dry epidermis;
• enlarged pores and comedones;
• pigmentation and freckles. But remember that diamond peeling is only part of skin care, and not a conservative way to eliminate them. It is worthwhile to reliably care for the treated area of ​​skin;
• saggy skin;
• small wrinkles.

The difference between microdermabrasion and dermabrasion

These procedures should not be confused:

• Dermabrasion is a deep cleansing that is carried out with a laser and involves removing the epidermis and affecting the upper layers of the dermis. It is accompanied by trauma to the surface, so it takes several weeks to recover.
• When performing microdermabrasion, only the top layer is removed - and there is no need for rehabilitation.

Buyanov Sergey Yurievich (Expert Doctor):

Dermabrasion and microdermabrasion are options for skin resurfacing. The essence of the procedure is to remove the top layer of keratinized cells. The prefix micro means insignificant depth of action.

Efficiency

Delicate grinding stimulates regenerative processes, as a result of which the synthesis of collagen and elastic fibers is activated, which ensure firmness and elasticity of the skin.

Removing the surface layer of skin promotes skin renewal, tightens the facial contour and refreshes. The effect is noticeable after the first session and lasts for a long time.

During the procedure, a very useful vacuum massage is performed - it triggers microcirculation and enhances the lifting effect.

Indications for use

Diamond peeling can be done at any age. Skin healing in this way is necessary if you have the following problems:

• acne;
• age-related pigmentation;
• freckles;
• expression wrinkles;
• enlarged pores;
• hyperkeratosis;
• loss of elasticity or slight decrease in the tone of the epidermis;
• skin creases;
• dull complexion;
• uneven skin;
• scars, acne scars;
• ingrown hairs;
• greasy shine.

What is diamond facial resurfacing? Features of the procedure

The action of diamond resurfacing is aimed at removing scars and skin irregularities that arise as a result of the natural processes of aging and acne. The treatment is effective for patients with problematic oily skin. Diamond peeling is considered a mechanical method of face resurfacing. The technique is considered gentle and is suitable for treating patients with sensitive skin, including those prone to allergic reactions.

With the help of popular hardware treatment, the following cosmetic problems can be solved:

• acne;
• traces of acne;
• first expression lines of low intensity;
• excessive secretory function of the sebaceous glands;
• pigment spots of various etiologies.

In some cases, diamond peeling can effectively treat blackheads if the cause of their appearance is enlarged pores. Under the influence of mechanical action, the dirt accumulated in the skin layers is pushed to the surface and can be easily removed using the most ordinary damp cloth.

Advantages and disadvantages

Recovery after the procedure ↑

This type of hardware intervention requires special recovery. It is very important to comply with the conditions of the rehabilitation period so as not to get the opposite effect from diamond peeling: pustular rashes, redness, acne.

Recovery rules ↑

Here are the rules that should be followed after the procedure without fail:

• Refusal of alcohol-containing cosmetics in the first 2 weeks - it will worsen the condition of already irritated skin.
• Use non-comedogenic high SPF sunscreens.
• Refusal of physical activity and intense sports, as this promotes intense sweating, which can lead to inflammation of varying severity.
• If possible, avoid using decorative cosmetics at least for the first 2-3 days after diamond peeling.

So, what do women who have already tried it on themselves say about this miracle procedure?

What hardware is it running on?

In a cosmetology clinic or specialized salon, peeling with diamond chips is done with a device equipped with special abrasive tips.

Stationary devices have increased power and have many nozzles of various diameters and degrees of abrasiveness of fractions. They are connected to the device using elastic connecting hoses, which ensures convenience and ease of use.

The vacuum device instantly absorbs particles of the epidermis, ensuring the effectiveness of the procedure.

For professional use

Pristine (manufacturer Israel). Considered one of the best to date.

Included in the package:

• Tips in three sizes (for problem, normal and sensitive skin).
• attachments for microdermabrasion of hard-to-reach places (for example, the ears and sides of the nose).

F-336 (manufacturer: Silverfox). Designed for professional cosmetology use. The package includes 9 diamond-coated attachments.

NOVA NV-06 (2 in 1). Often used by cosmetologists. At the same time, it is suitable for both professionals and beginners.

The device allows you to carry out effective anti-aging and skincare procedures in one session, as it is intended not only for diamond peeling, but also for ultrasound therapy (phonophoresis).

For home use

You can use portable devices yourself. There are several types, differing in minor technical characteristics and pricing policy.

Today, devices from the Chinese brand newdermo and the visacare model from the Dutch brand Philips are in demand.

However, the most popular is the device from the French manufacturer Gezatone. The set includes six attachments (abrasive and vacuum), a timer and a convenient control panel.

The effectiveness and comfort of the procedure is ensured by the ability to influence the skin with different suction and grinding powers.

Peeling

• Preparation: cleansing with a scrub with microgranules, steam the skin with a vaporizer or use a cold hydrogenation gel, moisturize and remove excess moisture. Manipulation is necessary to increase susceptibility to machining.
• Impact with nozzles of varying degrees of abrasiveness. Using several types at once, the entire surface of the face is treated, including hard-to-reach areas near the eyes and ears.
• Applying a moisturizing mask and applying a cold compress to tighten pores.

The stages of the procedure may vary slightly, as they are focused on the condition of the skin. If there are dense comedones, manual cleaning is necessary before microdermabrasion.

Course duration

The duration of treatment is determined individually. To improve complexion and enrich the skin, usually 2 to 5 procedures are enough, each lasting about half an hour.

To get rid of scars and scars you will need from 10 to 20 sessions. The period between visits is at least a week, preferably two. Cleaning can be repeated every two to three months.

Healing period

The method does not require a rehabilitation period, since it does not involve aggressive influence. After manipulation, the skin does not peel off and does not require restoration.

There may be a feeling of tightness and slight redness, which disappears within a day.

What to do after the session

• Immediately after peeling, the master disinfects the treated areas and applies a mask. It has a calming effect and tightens pores. After its removal, a second mask is applied, which nourishes the epidermis.
• For 3-4 days you should not visit the pool, go to the solarium, bathhouse or use decorative cosmetics. You should wash your face with water without soap. Additionally, you can cleanse your skin with milk or tonic. It is not recommended to use cosmetics that contain alcohol.
• Due to the fact that the stratum corneum has been removed, you can use anti-aging masks and other cosmetics that are aimed at improving the condition of the epidermis. The effect of their use will be higher, since tissue permeability increases.
• The peeling that appears after the session will go away on its own. The rehabilitation period may take about 10 days. During this period, you should carefully follow all hygiene rules and use a moisturizer. It is prohibited to use aggressive cosmetics. The scrub can be used only after the epidermis has been completely restored.

Precautionary measures

Side effects

Diamond peeling is a non-traumatic process, so complications are possible if the procedure is performed incompetently.

Incorrectly selected nozzles can lead to microcracks. Less commonly, minor swelling occurs, which does not require treatment and subsides within a few days.

Very sensitive skin may react by forming a thin film that does not require the application of medications or cosmetics. Pigmentation is caused by exposure to the sun without protective cream.

Contraindications

The procedure cannot be performed if you have certain health problems:

• oncology;
• bronchial asthma;
• diabetes;
• pathologies of the cardiovascular system;
• epilepsy;
• the presence of wounds, ulcers, fresh scars and scars;
• rosacea (vascular network);
• exacerbation of skin diseases (herpes, psoriatic plaques);
• inflamed moles, warts;
• a pacemaker is installed.

Buyanov Sergey Yurievich (Expert Doctor):

The operation of the device may cause damage to electronic equipment. That is why manipulation is strictly contraindicated with a built-in pacemaker. If the patient uses electronic hearing aids, they should also be turned off during the procedure.

It is not advisable to perform microdermabrasion during menstruation, pregnancy and breastfeeding. It is also not recommended to do it in spring and summer, because high solar activity can cause increased skin sensitivity and the appearance of hyperpigmentation.

If it is necessary to cleanse during the spring-summer period, you need to protect your skin with a cream with SPF 50 or higher.

You should avoid the facial resurfacing procedure:

1. Infectious skin diseases.
2. Scleroderma.
3. Hyperkeratosis.
4. Sunburn.
5. Oncological diseases.
6. Period of menstruation.

If a person is healthy, then before visiting a cosmetology office for a resurfacing session, it is advisable to avoid drinking alcohol and taking medications that contribute to fluid retention in the body. A good way to prepare the body for the effects is to eat foods enriched with vitamins. It will be necessary to visit a dermatologist, who will attest to the absence of serious pathologies. Taking general tests is also important to rule out hidden inflammatory processes in the body.
