The greatest attention should be paid to the cleansing process, because reddened skin covered with scars can greatly spoil the mood of any girl.
Diamond resurfacing or peeling (microdermabrasion) is one of the most popular cleansing cosmetic procedures that helps in the fight against various problems - fine wrinkles around the eyes and on the forehead, age spots, acne scars, shallow scars.
Diamond peeling: principle of action
This type of peeling is based on a gentle renewal of the skin, which occurs due to exfoliation. During the procedure, the upper layer of the dermis is treated, thanks to the use of special tips with a unique diamond coating. In a beauty salon in Russia, the cost of this procedure is about 3000 rubles.
With diamond peeling, the superficial stratum corneum of the dermis is gently erased (all dead particles are removed), at the same time there are no traumatic effects. Therefore, this type of peeling is not only one of the most effective, but also the safest.
During grinding, diamond tips of different diameters, with varying degrees of roughness, can be used. Taking into account the size of the applied diamond dust, the degree of effect on the skin will be determined - softer or stronger.
More recently, aluminum oxide powder was used for such a procedure. However, this procedure had a lot of drawbacks - an allergic reaction was often provoked, a small part of the powder could remain on the skin surface, which led to inconvenience during work in the eye area. Today, diamond face resurfacing is both the most effective and gentle procedure, during which only the upper stratum corneum is removed. It helps to significantly improve the complexion literally after the first session, evens out the skin relief, and the depth of wrinkles is significantly reduced. The skin becomes smoother and softer, and the exfoliation process has a stimulating effect on the cell renewal process.
The diamond peeling procedure allows the simultaneous use of additional methods of facial skin care, in which unique active ingredients are introduced. After resurfacing, they begin to act much stronger and a greater result will be achieved, since now dead skin cells do not interfere with the penetration of active substances into the deeper layers of the skin. This procedure does not cause unpleasant painful sensations and discomfort.
After the resurfacing, a serum or mask (moisturizing, nourishing or anti-inflammatory) is applied to the skin, which is selected taking into account the skin type.
For several days, after diamond resurfacing, direct exposure to sunlight on the treated areas of the skin should be avoided. Also, for some time (about 7 days), you need to refuse to visit the pool, bath or sauna, steam rooms. On these days, it is contraindicated to engage in active sports, as sweat can irritate delicate skin, resulting in inflammation and irritation. You also need to minimize the cosmetics used - nourishing, moisturizing creams are allowed. Apply strong sunscreen lotions and creams before going outside. It is necessary to completely abandon the use of alcohol lotions or tonics, otherwise severe irritation will appear.
Cosmetologists recommend not to use powder or foundation, blush for a week after the diamond peeling, as they can clog the pores.
