Besides traditional facials of course there are many more advanced treatments. One of those is called Diamond Abrasion.
You know, just recently I was training another Esthetician to do Diamond Abrasion and I was the client. I forgot how awesome, glowing, soft and healthy my skin looks and feels after this facial treatment!
I prefer Diamond Abrasion and it is what I use in my business, Afterglow.
Diamond Abrasion is a form of Microdermabrasion without the use of crystals and is the newest form of a deeper exfoliation of the skin.
I’ve actually had both treatments done a bit in the past and have worked with both types of Abrasions and, I have some thoughts on traditional Microdermabrasion vs Diamond Abrasion.
So, First, Microdermabrasion uses crystals that are Aluminum Oxide crystals. The crystals can be very irritating to the skin and this is my opinion, as someone who has gotten and given Microdermabrasion, the crystals are in your hair, on your skin and clothing and you are breathing them in. Aluminum has also been medically linked to Alzheimer’s disease. So, yes an Esthetician could use a mask while performing the treatment, but what about the client? They can’t wear a mask because they are getting the treatment and they are breathing it in.
Diamond Abrasion uses a Diamond tip, filter and suction to gently abrade the skin while whisking the dead skin cells into the filter. The efficacy of the exfoliation is controlled by the Esthetician’s hand pressure and the type of Diamond tip used. Diamond tips can be smoother or rougher depending on what the service provider determines is best for the client.
So, to me, safer for the client and Esthetician to use, no irritations at all. Just beautiful healthy looking skin. And following the treatment, hydrating serums and moisturizers are massaged into the skin to replenish that needed hydration.
