Dermabrasion
Diamond microdermabrasion is a gentle and painless method of removing the thickened and dead layer of the epidermis with the aim of eliminating various skin imperfections such as fine wrinkles, rough skin, hyperpigmentation, and minor scars.
Why is it necessary to remove the thickened, dead layer of the epidermis?
The stratum corneum, the horny outer layer of the epidermis, consists of layers of dead cells that naturally shed, making room for new young cells. However, with skin aging, the natural shedding and renewal of the skin slow down. This slowdown is also contributed to by sun exposure, improper care, certain medications, smoking, and other poor lifestyle habits.
Treatment
In the treatment, variously ground diamond attachments are used, which, through vacuum suction, elevate and peel off the dead skin cells. The face, neck, décolletage, hands, and other body parts can be treated. The treatment is always combined with a special facial treatment by Juliette Armand to achieve a hydro-lipid balance, so this treatment takes 60 minutes. The number of treatments depends on the condition of the skin and the desired effect. The treatment can be repeated after 3 weeks.
Candidates
The procedure is suitable for people with rough, uneven skin and minor imperfections like fine wrinkles, pores, spots, and small scars.
Results
Immediately after the treatment, the skin is smoother. The results are visible a few days after the treatment in the form of a more even complexion, lighter skin, and a reduction in skin imperfections.
Recovery
After the treatment, the skin may be slightly red, and it can lightly peel for a few days. It is necessary to avoid sun exposure.
