Diamond Microdermabrasion is a painless and non-invasive treatment. The treatment utilizes a diamond-tipped wand to gently exfoliate the skin, removing dead cells without the use of harsh chemicals or crystals, which can cause irritation. Most individuals experience slight discomfort, often described as a mild scratching sensation or a gentle vacuuming effect on the skin. While each person’s pain tolerance varies, many find the experience quite relaxing, comparable to a facial massage. 

Individuals with specific skin conditions, like rosacea or a tendency toward broken capillaries, should avoid this treatment. Both conditions signal underlying skin sensitivity and fragility, which make microdermabrasion inappropriate due to its vacuum suction and diamond tip exfoliation.

The treatment is typically well-tolerated, with little to no downtime required afterward. Clients may experience slight redness or sensitivity following the procedure, but this usually subsides quickly. Anyone considering Diamond Microdermabrasion should consult with their skin specialist who can assess their skin and recommend suitable cleansers, moisturizers, and serums designed to hydrate and soothe the skin while promoting recovery. Furthermore, they can advise on sun protection strategies, which are vital since freshly exfoliated skin can be more susceptible to UV damage. Utilizing the right products post-treatment not only helps in reducing potential irritation but also enhances the overall effectiveness of the procedure, leading to a more radiant and rejuvenated appearance.

Microdermabrasion is an exfoliation process that gently removes the outer layer of your skin. It is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that uses diamond heads and a vacuum to remove dead skin cells, revealing younger, fresher-looking skin.

Microdermabrasion is a safe, gentle, and effective treatment for all skin types. You may experience slight dryness depending on your skin type, and your skin may appear slightly red and sensitive for the remainder of the day.

At Thea’s Skin and Beauty Clinic, Microdermabrasion Facials range from €60 for the Express Maintenance Treatment to €110-€130 for the Deluxe version.

Microdermabrasion Treatment is excellent for dull, flaky, dry skin and clogged pores. The Diamond Peel can also help improve the appearance of brown pigment spots and wrinkles and can help patients with mild to moderate acne by opening up the pores and allowing them to breathe.

Depending on your skin concerns and their severity, the number of treatments can vary. At Thea’s Skin and Beauty Clinic, we recommend a series of 3-6 treatments. This treatment can be performed in a course as often as once a week, followed by a maintenance appointment every 4-6 weeks.

• In the days following a microdermabrasion session, it’s important to avoid direct sun exposure. The skin is more vulnerable to UV damage, so wearing a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 is vital.
• Additionally, avoid exfoliating products or treatments that could further irritate the skin, such as scrubs or acids, for at least a week post-procedure.
• Hydration is key during this time, so drinking plenty of water and incorporating hydrating serums with ingredients like hyaluronic acid can support the skin’s recovery.
• Furthermore, it’s advisable to wait at least 24 hours after the treatment before applying makeup. This allows the skin to breathe and heal without the interference of additional products that might clog pores or cause irritation.
