Diamond peel: mechanical exfoliation for smoother skin

How it works

The device's handpiece has a diamond-coated surface that gently sands the outermost layer of the skin, while gentle suction removes the loosened cells. With the surface renewed, the skin becomes smoother and brighter, and products applied afterwards penetrate better.

Because it acts only on the surface, the diamond peel is a maintenance and skin-preparation treatment, with no deep effect on dark spots, wrinkles or scars.

Indications

• Dull skin, texture and poresRough, dull skin with clogged pores.
• Acne scarsVery superficial marks, as a complement.

Treated areas

What a session is like

The skin is cleaned, and the professional passes the handpiece over the area in continuous movements, adjusting the suction intensity. The sensation is of light scraping. At the end, moisturizer and sunscreen are applied. A session lasts about 1 hour when combined with other care, such as facial cleansing.

Recovery

The skin may be slightly pink for a few hours. You can return to your activities and wear makeup on the same day.

Sessions and results

The skin is smoother right after the session. The number of sessions and the interval between them depend on the dermatologist's individual evaluation and on each patient's clinical concern.

Contraindications

The diamond peel is not recommended over inflamed acne, wounds, infections or active herpes, over irritated or sunburned skin, or on areas with very visible spider veins or active rosacea. Recent use of isotretinoin requires evaluation.

At the evaluation, the dermatologist reviews your health history, current medications and previous procedures to confirm the indication.
