Microdermabrasion - diamonds guarding skin beauty
Diamond grinding allows for active skin renewal, making it perfectly smooth, younger-looking, and fresher. During the procedure, the specialist uses a special device, such as the T-06, which effectively and controllably affects the upper layers of the epidermis. It is equipped with working tips coated with diamond dust of different fractions. Depending on the area being treated, the specialist selects the necessary diameter and degree of abrasiveness of the tip.
Since the diamond particles sprayed on the tip are microscopic in size, the procedure is completely painless. Also, the likelihood of allergic reactions and skin damage is eliminated.
Facial microdermabrasion: procedure features
Depending on the skin condition and existing flaws, the cosmetologist selects the necessary tips and changes the intensity of impact on a particular area. Moreover, diamond grinding can even be performed in the eye area and on clients with very sensitive skin.
A feature of microdermabrasion using an advanced device is not only deep exfoliation of dead cells but also oxygenation of the skin, activation of its natural rejuvenation. However, it should be noted that such procedures are not advisable to be carried out in summer when the skin is prone to increased sweating and more susceptible to ultraviolet light.
Procedure Steps:
- Preparation. The specialist cleanses the skin of makeup and wipes it with an antiseptic. Since microdermabrasion is painless, there is no need for anesthesia.
- Skin grinding. Considering the client's wishes and existing aesthetic problems, the specialist selects working tips with the necessary parameters. Then, they start to sequentially treat the skin of the face, changing tips on separate areas to achieve a more qualitative result.
- Completion of the procedure. At the end of the grinding, a mask or cream with a soothing effect is applied to the skin.
Positive changes can be noticed after the first session. However, microdermabrasion has a pronounced effect only when undergoing a course consisting of an average of 6–8 procedures. An interval of 10–14 days is mandatory between sessions. To maintain the result, it is recommended to perform 1 maintenance procedure monthly.
Why is diamond microdermabrasion needed and what is its effect?
The demand for this technique is explained not only by its safety but also by its ability to have far more actions on the skin than simple cleansing. It is also aimed at rejuvenation and renewal of the skin, while allowing the elimination of various aesthetic imperfections. In addition, diamond grinding can be carried out as a preparatory stage before other cosmetic procedures (redermalization, biorevitalization, etc.).

Microdermabrasion - deep skin renewal and health improvement
Diamond skin grinding is one of the most sought-after procedures in cosmetic centers. Its popularity lies not only in the guaranteed result but also in several other distinctive features:
- Universality. The procedure can be performed on any skin type and on any area of the face, including the area around the eyes and the nasolabial zone. Thus, it is possible to eliminate cosmetic defects that cannot be addressed by other methods.
- Minimum complications. During the procedure, a microdermabrasion machine is used, which gently affects the skin without causing irritation, rashes, or inflammation.
- No recovery period. Due to the non-traumatic and painless nature of the procedure, the skin does not require rehabilitation. There may be slight redness of the skin in people with sensitive skin, but it passes within a couple of hours.
- Lasting result. The skin condition improves significantly after the first session, and the effect achieved after a course of procedures lasts for a long time.
Unlike other cosmetic procedures, diamond grinding can solve several problems at once. For example, it can not only cleanse the pores but also even out the skin's texture, which is not possible with ultrasonic cleaning.
Like any other technique in cosmetology, microdermabrasion has a few drawbacks:
- It is not recommended to be carried out in the summer period when there is high solar activity, as there is an increased risk of pigmentation.
- If the equipment parameters are selected incorrectly and post-procedure care is not followed, complications may arise: secondary infection, exacerbation of chronic dermatoses, pigmentation, scar formation.
It is important to select tips, set vacuum modes, and move the device according to the skin type and area of treatment. In this case, the risk of complications will be excluded, and the procedure will bring only benefits and joy from the results!
