We, at The Bombay Skin Clinic, have helped many patients reveal their beautiful skin with wonderful diamond facials. Let’s take a look at some information regarding this treatment to help you understand it better.
What is a diamond facial?
One of the most popular facials among women today, a diamond facial is a non-surgical peel treatment that helps to eliminate dead skin cells. As noted by Harvard Health Publishing, a peel removes the top layers of the epidermis. The result is new, glowing, and youthful skin. It replaces damaged, sensitive, and aged skin. It is performed with a special diamond-tipped tool that gently removes toxins, dirt, and dead skin cells. It boosts the skin’s metabolism to reveal new and smoother skin. The diamond facial offered at the Bombay skin clinic is more superior since instead of using powder we use water. So with the hydra-jet combined with the diamond tip it can help to remove the dead skin cells with the force of the water.
Benefits of getting this facial
The many advantages of a diamond facial are:
- Results in a glowing skin
- Helps in better blood circulation and skin elasticity
- Soothes the skin
- Reduces wrinkles and pore size
- Increases the oxygenation of skin
- Cleanses, detoxifies, and rejuvenates the skin
- Removes acne scars, fine lines, and age spots
- Ensures improved skin tone
How is diamond facial different from other facials?
A charcoal facial uses activated charcoal to extract dirt and impurities from your skin. A HIFU facial uses high-intensity focused ultrasound energy to treat the deeper layers of the skin to tighten it. An O3+ Fruit facial uses oxygen therapy to brighten the skin. On the other hand, a diamond facial uses hydradermabrasion to exfoliate the skin, break up dead skin cells, and treat the surface skin effectively. Microdermabrasion is a popular technique as noted by the National Center for Biotechnology Information.
Ideal candidates for this facial
Diamond facials are the best for mature skin. It also works great for people with sensitive skin. In general, almost anyone can opt for this facial. However, do note that in the realm of facials, diamond facials can be more expensive than others, so do keep that in mind. Avoid this facial if you are lactating or are pregnant.
Important notes to remember before getting this facial
Do note that this facial differs from salon to salon and clinic to clinic. However, usually, a machine with a multi-grade, rounded diamond tip is utilized to treat the skin surface with microdermabrasion. This helps in exfoliation of the top skin layer to reveal a new stratum below. The steps in the facial range from scrubbing and detoxification to massaging and skin restoration with a diamond mask. Side-effects from a diamond peel, even though rare, include temporary redness that clears up soon.
How will it feel like? What can you expect?
Generally, you will feel a little discomfort during the microdermabrasion process, but this can be easily addressed with a numbing cream of local anesthetic. Other than that, the rest of the facial can be a very soothing and relaxing experience. All you have to do is lounge in a chair while the dermatologist works at your facial skin with a massage, scrubbing, and face peel.
How often to get this facial
Many of our patients ask us this question, and we recommend that they get this facial once a month. We always recommend the correct frequency based on a patient’s unique skin type and needs.
Steps to follow after the facial
We guide our patients with some post-facial skincare tips to help them heal faster and yield better results from the facial. Avoid direct sun exposure immediately after leaving the clinic. Always apply a mild yet effective sunscreen when you need to step out during the day. You should also avoid bleaching after the facial. If it must be done, it should be done before you come in for the facial. To maintain your results, follow a good night skincare routine and avoid oily make-up products that contain harmful chemicals.
At home facial vs. in-clinic diamond facial
Do note that you may find some useful at-home DIY diamond facial kit in the market or online. While these can be effective, they do not give you the fantastic results that an experienced professional can. A diamond facial done at the hands of a certified dermatologist will always yield better and longer-lasting results. So, we recommend that you opt for an in-clinic diamond facial that can work wonders on your skin.
