Diamond Tip Microdermabrasion
We use Viora Medical’s diamond tip microdermabrasion machine called Pristine. Diamond tip microdermabrasion combines gentle exfoliation and vacuum, removing the outer layer of dead skin cells with a medical diamond tip. Each tip is made up of different sized cut diamonds, and we choose the size of diamonds based on the area of skin being treated (larger size diamonds/ coarser tip for thicker, tougher skin, and smaller cut diamonds/smoother tip for thinner, more delicate skin). Patients enjoy this treatment because it smooths the skin while being safe, gentle, comfortable and relaxing. It is commonly performed on the face and the body, with the most popular areas being the face, neck, chest, back and hands. Benefits of diamond microdermabrasion include smoother skin, improved circulation, reduction of blackheads, whiteheads, acne and blemishes, improved appearance of fine lines, and improved penetration of skincare products. It is also an excellent skin prep for other skin treatments. (It is automatically pat of our DermaFuse Nutrient Skin Infusion (hydrafacial plus) treatment. A diamond-less smooth tip can also be used to promote lymphatic drainage. These treatments take about 15-20 minutes to complete. While results are immediately visible and a single treatment is certainly advantageous, optimum results are seen with a series of 5-12 sessions, 7-10 days apart. After that, a maintenance treatment is recommended once every 6 months.
