DiamondTome

DiamondTome™ is a procedure that uses diamond chips and a controlled vacuum to exfoliate the skin. After the treatment, the skin has improved texture and softness, as well as fewer imperfections such as wrinkles and acne scars.

How does the treatment work?

The skin is washed to remove excess oil and dirt. Then, a medical professional passes the hand piece over the area. The diamond chips abrade away old, dead skin cells, which the vacuum then picks up with gentle suction. This promotes the growth of collagen and new, rejuvenated skin. Moisturizers and sun block are then applied to the treated area.

How many treatments are required?

DiamondTome™ works best when repeated over several weeks. Discuss the optimum schedule and number of treatments with your medical professional.

What are the benefits of DiamondTome™ over other treatments?

DiamondTome™ has no loose crystals to contaminate you or your environment. The precise size of the diamond chips allows the level of exfoliation to be carefully controlled. DiamondTome™ is generally considered gentler than other microdermabrasion methods, while producing excellent results.

Are there any possible side effects?

After the treatment, you may experience some redness and discomfort similar to a sunburn. Skin conditions may appear worse for a short time, and your skin may become temporarily darker or lighter.

Will there be any downtime?

One of the advantages of DiamondTome™ is that it has no downtime. You can return to your normal routine and apply cosmetics directly after treatment.

What are the results?

The skin feels softer and appears younger. Minor wrinkles are improved by the growth of new collagen. Exfoliation improves brown spots, uneven skin tone, acne and acne scars.

How soon will results appear?

Skin improvement varies depending on your individual skin quality. A difference is noticeable immediately, and results improve with multiple treatments.

How long does a DiamondTome™ treatment last?

A DiamondTome™ facial treatment lasts about half an hour. Additional time is required for additional areas.

What conditions respond best to this treatment?

DiamondTome™ works well for damaged skin, whether affected by acne, sun damage or aging.

Who are candidates for DiamondTome™?

DiamondTome™ can be used to rejuvenate skin of any type. Those seeking to reduce minor flaws or wrinkles without downtime are encouraged to consider DiamondTome™.

Who should avoid DiamondTome™?

DiamondTome™ should be avoided by those with recent viral infections, such as cold sores and shingles, those with eczema, sunburns or rosacea, those with auto-immune disorders, poor healing or excessive scarring and those with a history of diabetes or keloid formation. You must not have recently had laser surgery or used Accutane®.

How does the treatment feel?

DiamondTome™ does not require anesthesia. It is, at the most, mildly uncomfortable. Tightness and heat are common effects and quickly fade.

How long do the results last?

Lasting effects are dependant on proper skin care. A series of six treatments over a few months is recommended for best results, followed by regular maintenance treatments.

What are the limitations of DiamondTome™?

DiamondTome™ is designed for minor imperfections and general improvement. Those with very large or dark spots, moderate to deep wrinkles and serious scars should seek an alternative treatment.
