Treatment Overview
Using the DiamondTome™ Wands
The grit size and the vacuum pressure selected determine the degree of abrasion. The vacuum pressure controls the pressure of the skin against the diamond chips. To achieve rejuvenation of thin skin you would select the 75-micron wand and a low pressure (i.e. 800 mbar). To increase the exfoliation, you simply increase the pressure in small increments. For more aggressive treatment the medium (100-micron) wand would be used. You begin with low pressure and slowly increase the pressure until the desired results are achieved.
Skin Resurfacing Treatments
Skin Resurfacing treatments are normally administered by a trained clinician, nurse, aesthetician, or physician. Length of treatment and number of treatments is dependent on skin type and condition. The skin is polished and not broken which can lead to bleeding. This non-invasive skin care treatment can be completed in a short period of time and without pain. This skin care treatment is ideal for people on the go. There is no "downtime" from work or social activities. The results are gradual but highly effective for clearer, healthier looking skin.
