Microdermabrasion

What is diamond tip microdermabrasion? It is a technique used to exfoliate the outer surface of the skin. The wand is coated with diamond chips that polish the skin, yet take away dead cells. The end result is to leave your skin looking smoother, healthier, and shinier. The new diamond tip microderm is the latest form of exfoliating skin without irritating it. Microdermabrasion is not a chemical, and is a non-surgical way to regain healthier, glowing skin.  This is used for people with more sensitive skin.

How does the diamond tip microdermabrasion work? During the treatment, the microdermabrasion tips loosen dead cells while cleaning pores.

The exfoliating wand (also known as the diamond head) comes in different sizes for people of different skin types.

At Mountain Radiance the diamond tips are sterilized to the same standards as hospital surgical equipment. High pressure, standardized, controlled steam sterilization is used between each use. Most aesthetic practices use only cold liquid sterilization for re-use techniques.

The diamond tip treatment is a combination of suction power and exfoliating of the skin. The increase of suction increases the intensity of microdermabrasion which then allows treatments for older problem areas. Problems include stretch marks, aging marks, and acne. This can reduce acne scaring and increase the elasticity of the skin.

This procedure doesn’t heat the skin. Once the dead skin is gone the diamond tip then polishes the beginning of the new face. You can rinse your face with warm water before the diamond tip microdermabrasion to help open your pores.

There is no risk of getting any diamond caught in a pore. This is a better way to go than microderm that blasts crystals at the skin because it does not leave the crystalline residue in the skin.

The bottom line is that diamond microderm abrasion is the best way to freshen the appearance of the skin and to some degree increase the subcutaneous collagen and tighten and freshen the appearance and tightness of the skin.
