DIAMOND MICRODERMABRASION - The treatment process
WHAT IS DIAMOND MICRODERMABRASION?
A Microdermabrasion facial is a simple yet effective means of performing a deep suction clean and exfoliation of the skin to unclog pores and remove dull dead skin cells.
It will reveal new, healthy skin cells and leave your skin looking smoother and fresher than before.
To ensure the best results and avoid irritation, please refrain from using any active ingredients for 3 days before and after your facial. Active ingredients include benzoyl peroxide, retinol, salicylic acid, glycolic acid and vitamin C serum. We recommend using only a gentle cleanser and a gentle moisturiser during this period.

More information on the Dr Leah Clinic, Microdermabrasion Facial:
A Microdermabrasion facial is a skin exfoliation treatment that smooths and removes the top outer layer of skin. It is performed using natural diamond-tipped wands that rotates to exfoliate the skin (similar to sand paper) with a suction action which hoovers up dead skin cells and unclogs pores. The microdermabrasion process also helps to encourage the production of collagen, which keeps skin firm and young-looking.
The Dr Leah Clinic, diamond microdermabrasion treatment is the quickest, most comfortable dermabrasion procedure available. The wand uses modern diamond technology to exfoliate gently and effectively, unclogging pores and giving your skin a clean, fresh appearance.
Microdermabrasion is an exfoliating facial; it will not give the same results as anti-wrinkle injections or facial fillers. It may be the case that you require a more advanced treatment such as anti-wrinkle injections or dermal filler to achieve your goals; this can be discussed with your aesthetic therapist on the day of your treatment, who will advise.
The main benefit of microdermabrasion is to exfoliate the skin. In removing dead skin cells it can give an overall fresher appearance to the skin, unclogging pores and restoring a glow to the skin. Monthly treatments are recommended to reduce blackheads and blocked pores.
You should notice some improvement straight away*, but we recommend regular microdermabrasion treatments (one every six weeks, lifelong) for full microdermabrasion benefits.
Possible side effects from a microdermabrasion facial include skin irritation and redness. It is not advised if you have very dry or sensitive skin.
There is no recovery period after a microdermabrasion treatment, although your skin may appear red for several hours afterward.

Microdermabrasion for acne scars can be good but we do not recommend microdermabrasion treatment if you have active acne as the process can spread the acne bacteria throughout the face, instead if you have breakouts we recommend the blue radiance peel which will help control breakouts.
