Before deciding on a dermabrasion, you should familiarize yourself with the advantages and features of the method, the indications and contraindications for it, as well as the rules for skin care after micro-resurfacing sessions.

What is diamond grinding

Diamond dermabrasion is one of the most effective methods of mechanical peeling. The essence of the technique consists in superficial cleansing of the epidermis to activate the processes of natural skin renewal. Peeling is carried out using a special vacuum apparatus.

The method is a micropolishing of the surface layer of the epidermis using handpieces - a set of diamond heads with spraying, which differ in diameter and degree of granularity, in order to correct various skin imperfections, level the relief, and start cell and tissue regeneration.

The principle of cosmetic diamond dermabrasion is to polish an uneven surface; instead of abrasive compositions, diamond crystals are used, specially processed by a laser. The technique allows you to evenly affect the skin, exfoliating its upper layers and not leaving behind mechanical damage in the form of wounds or scratches.

By individually adjusting the rotation speed and intensity of the diamond tip, the skin is micro-resurfed to perfect smoothness. The method combines simultaneously 2 principles of action - vacuum massage and peeling.

As a result, this technology allows achieving the following aesthetic effects:

• eliminate uneven relief - wrinkles, creases, small scars, scars and acne marks;
• deeply cleanse the epidermis from impurities, dead cells;
• start regeneration processes, the mechanism of cell division in the epidermal layers;
• stimulate local blood circulation for an increased flow of oxygen and nutrients;
• stimulate the synthesis of collagen and elastin for natural rejuvenation;
• even out skin tone, eliminate hyperpigmentation.

Thanks to the double effect, the course of diamond dermabrasion procedures allows you to cleanse the skin, even out the relief and eliminate various defects, as well as restore tone and achieve the results of rejuvenation through vacuum massage.

Contraindications

Diamond resurfacing is an effective way of aesthetic correction of the skin of the face, the reviews of cosmetologists on this technique are mostly positive. Despite the minimal risk of developing negative side effects and the painlessness of the method, there are a number of contraindications, in the presence of which the grinding procedure should not be used.

Cosmetologists strongly do not recommend dermabrasion sessions in the following cases:

• if there is intolerance to the effects of diamond dust, which covers the handpieces of the device;
• the body has not sufficiently restored its immunity after a protracted illness;
• with hyperkeratosis, scleroderma, any infectious diseases;
• if there are moles, hemangiomas, open wounds, mechanical injuries, burns in the treatment area;
• in the presence of rashes of a fungal or bacterial nature, skin diseases in the acute stage;
• with rosacea, if the blood vessels are dilated;
• in the presence of oncological neoplasms on the skin;
• with heart disease, the presence of a pacemaker;
• with diseases of an epileptic nature, autoimmune disorders, asthma;
• during pregnancy.

It is not recommended to carry out procedures during menstruation, lactation period, as well as on the skin after prolonged exposure to the sun with traces of burns. If you feel unwell due to exacerbation of chronic diseases, acute respiratory viral infections, poisoning, the micro-grinding procedure should be postponed until complete recovery.

Pros and cons of the method

Diamond face resurfacing (reviews are given below) is a cosmetic technique aimed at removing the upper epidermal layer. In some cases, according to the indications, the device removes the upper part of the papillary layer, as a result of which intensive epithelialization occurs at the sites of skin damage.

Thanks to this, regeneration processes are stimulated with the replacement of old damaged cells with new and healthy tissues. In young cells, metabolism takes place more intensively with replenishment of the lack of collagen fibers. The skin becomes noticeably softer, smoother, more elastic, the relief improves, a healthy tone is restored without pigmentation.

The main advantages of the method are:

• Versatility... The technology can be applied to any type of skin, used on any area.
• Hypoallergenic and less traumatic... Cleansing the epidermal layer is safe and almost painless.
• Acne treatment... The hardware technique can be applied to acne-prone skin to help fight the signs of the disease.
• Efficiency... The method allows using handpieces with diamond dust to eliminate skin irregularities and imperfections - scars, scars, ingrown hairs, hyperpigmentation.
• Anti-age effect... The course of procedures allows you to cope with the signs of wilting, activate the natural renewal of cellular structures for tissue healing and visible rejuvenation.

Modern devices for dermabrasion allow you to adjust the intensity and depth of the impact, which guarantees a positive result and allows for both superficial and median peeling.

Grinding can be performed on various facial areas, as well as in the neckline and neck area. But apart from the positive aspects of the modern aesthetic surface peeling technique, vacuum dermabrasion with diamond dusting has several disadvantages.

Cons of the method:

• the procedure is expensive;
• the method will not help heal skin diseases;
• a fairly large list of contraindications;
• to achieve the effect, a course of 3-10 procedures is required, and then regular preventive peeling sessions;
• soreness in especially sensitive areas.

Also, cosmetologists note that the effectiveness of the sessions will increase if you first carry out a course of surface peeling with acids, which incurs additional financial costs, but increases the effectiveness of aesthetic correction.

Differences between diamond dermabrasion and microdermabrasion

Both methods are techniques for deep cleansing of the epidermal layer, similar in principle of action, aimed at activating natural regeneration.

But there are a number of significant differences that will help you choose a more effective method of cosmetic intervention:

• Dermabrasion is recommended for use in severe neglected cases, the feast of which there are visible defects on the skin - scars, scars, deep relief changes. Microdermabrasion is a surface resurfacing technique, a softer and more painless method that works superficially to cleanse the stratum corneum and initiate renewal processes.
• Dermabrasion allows you to eliminate deep wrinkles, visible defects - scars, scars, while the cosmetic effect of microdermabrasion does not affect their elimination or smoothing.
• Post-treatment recovery and pre-treatment preparation are also different. Dermabrasion requires careful step-by-step preparation and adherence to strict rules during the rehabilitation period, which can last at least 7 days. Microdermabrasion is a more delicate method of surface peeling, which does not require special preparation, and the recovery period in most cases passes unnoticed.

The choice of mechanical peeling cosmetic technique is made individually. The cosmetologist conducts an individual examination, identifies cosmetic problems, the presence of defects, age-related changes, and then determines a more effective way to eliminate imperfections.

Selection of peeling creams

Diamond face resurfacing, reviews of which speak of its effectiveness, is a non-invasive method of mechanical cleaning of the epidermal layer. For better exfoliation of the stratum corneum and stimulation of cell renewal, special creams with a special component composition are used for procedures. To achieve an aesthetic result, the cream is selected strictly for the skin type.

A peeling formula can include:

• acids - fruit, lactic, ascorbic, carbolic or salicylic;
• various polymers, fragrances, resocin;
• fine-grained abrasive from sea salt, almond seeds, apricots, berries;
• complex of natural oils, proteins, hyaluronate,
• a cocktail of plant extracts, algae;
• a complex of amino acids, minerals, antioxidants.

The formula of professional peeling products is designed in such a way as to provide fortification of tissues and cells at the same time as cleaning the upper epidermal layer. The main selection criterion is the type of product and the depth of action, so as not to injure the skin during the peeling process.

For example, for thinning skin prone to dryness, cosmetologists recommend choosing products with softer abrasive particles so as not to harm. The ratio of the peeling cream components is also selected taking into account the properties.

For a sensitive type, gommage cream is best suited, which includes the smallest microparticles. Carrying out the procedure, the product is applied in a thin layer, and then rolls down using the massage method, eliminating the stratum corneum and impurities. Gommage provides the effect of an eraser without damaging the skin, but thoroughly cleaning it.

In accordance with age, when choosing, it is important to follow the recommendations:

• The use of peels is permissible from the age of 15. The task of products with a mild formula is to cleanse the skin from excess fat, dead particles.
• For young skin (up to 25 years of age) peels with glycolic acid are suitable for painless cleansing, toning and slowing down aging.
• After 30 years, it is recommended to use peeling products with fruit acid to eliminate the first signs of wilting, pigmentation.
• After 40 years, you can start peeling procedures with products containing a concentrate of active acids. The formula of the funds allows you to get rid of age-related wrinkles, improve complexion, and activate protein metabolism.
• After 50 years, the formation of wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, flabbiness is observed. The use of deep peelings allows you to eliminate negative changes, prevent aging and level the relief.

When choosing a peeling cream, it is important to give preference to professional brands, to study the composition in order to understand whether the product can help in solving a particular cosmetic problem.
