Diamond Peel

When you look at your skin, is it as soft and full and as fresh as you would like? Do you have age spots, acne scars, fine wrinkles and flaking skin? Are you pressed for time and need a solution that can be done in a lunchhour with no downtime?

If so, Diamond peels are designed to help your skin. Removing skin from the surface layers has been around for many years, but diamond peels revolutionise this concept.

With diamond dermabrasion not only are the useless top dry flaky skin cells removed, but the circulation to the skin beneath is stimulated, replacing older skin with fresh, younger cells and stimulating collagen formation. It is a great way to condition your skin in a non-surgical non-invasive way, and results can be seen after the first treatment. With a diamond peel there is no downtime and each treatment session is only 30 minutes.

Diamond peels can reduce crows feet ( it works well with anti-wrinkle injections ) as well as fine lines around the face and mouth, lips and neck. It can even help with acne scars.

Common questions about diamond peels

What is a Diamond Peel ?

Special sterilised diamond wands are used with gentle suction applied to the skin after it has been thoroughly cleansed. The top layers of the skin are removed, leaving more vital cells underneath. Vitamin C creams are usually then infused into the skin with a special ultrasound, for maximum collagen stimulation to the regenerating skin.

How long does it take ?

Most treatments take about 30 minutes.

What results can you expect ?

After each session the skin develops a rosy glow. There is some redness to a mild degree, which resolves quickly. After the first session there is a freshness to the skin, it feels thicker and pigmentation may be more even.

How many treatments do I need ?

Most people need a course of 4-6 treatments for the best results. These are usually a minimum of two weeks apart. Some people have monthly treatments as an ongoing part of their skin health regime.

Who is suitable ?

Diamond peels can help many people with many skin problems. Some people who would benefit most from the treatments include people with oily skin and skin damaged by the sun. People with acne scars, fine wrinkles and ageing skin are suitable and often benefit the most from treatment.

What is the difference between dermabrasion and the Diamond Peel ?

Most dermabrasion is done with aluminium crystals which can stay on the skin after treatment and can be irritating as well as clogging skin pores. The Diamond peel avoids this problem altogether as no harsh metals or crystals are used. In addition vitamins are infused into the skin following the treatment to maximise the benefits of the peels.

Will I need treatment after each session ?

Home skin care with skin vitamin supplements will help give you the best results.

How soon will I see results ?

Often results are seen after the first session, but usually a course should be completed to see substantial changes.

Is it safe to use on my skin?

Unlike some other skin treatments, a diamond peel can be used on skin of all skin types and colours.

What are the benefits of a Diamond Peel over other procedures ?

A Diamond peel takes less time, there is less discomfort, recovery is quick and there is no disruption to normal activities. It can be a great lift a few days before a holiday or a special night out.

What treatments can I use to improve on the benefits of a Diamond Peel ?

At the ALIA Clinic wrinkle injections, fotofacial treatments and light laser peels are used as necessary to achieve the best results with minimal and usually no downtime. Your skin needs to be assessed to tailor a program for you.
