Enhanced Photofacial with DiamondTome Microdermabrasion

/1 Comment/in , , /by

Our clients are getting rave reviews and increased ROI with IPL & DiamondTome (diamond microdermabrasion) enhanced photo facial. Here are some key points about enhanced fotofacial treatments WITH DiamondTome diamond microdermabrasion.

Treatment begins with DiamondTome microdermabrasion. We recommend a double cleanse, degrease, then 2 passes with the DiamondTome diamond microdermabrader. This initial exfoliation gently removes the outermost layer of dead skin cells (the stratum corneum), preparing the skin for the enhanced photofacial.

Think of the removal of the stratum corneum as “cleaning the window” before you shine the light through it.

The stratum corneum is a truly amazing design! It’s like a flexible suit of armor that resists environmental pollutants, contamination, and yes, even the penetration of light, (especially UV, but all wavelengths degrade as they pass through the stratum corneum).

Removing this layer of concave, opaque dead skin cells allows better light penetration of all wavelengths, resulting in an enhanced Photofacial. Better light penetration equals more selective photo thermolysis, and that means better results!  Enhanced fotofacial with DiamondTome diamond microdermabrasion is especially effective for acne and sun damaged skin.

Since DiamondTome is crystal free you can immediately apply contact gel after microderm and perform your fotofacial within your standard recommended parameters.

At about 7 days post treatment, have your client back in for another DiamondTome diamond microdermabasion treatment to accelerate the slough and photo facial recovery.

Our clients typically build in a 10-20% up charge for enhanced photo facial with DiamondTome, (a $300 Tx is $330-$360 if it’s enhanced with DiamondTome).

DiamondTome microdermabrasion and IPL enhanced photofacial go a long way to improve  acne scars, stretch marks, age spots, enlarged pores, wrinkles, rosacea, sun damage and bags under the eyes, resulting in an increasingly soft, smooth and clear appearance. Your clients will be glowing!

Crystal vs Crystal Free Diamond Microdermabrasion

/1 Comment/in , , , /by


Considering adding microdermabrasion to your skin care practice?

Notice that there are both crystal and “crystal free”  or diamond microdermabrasion machines?

Here are some important facts to consider when deciding which is best for you:

  • Crystal microderm has been around about 10 years longer that crystal free or diamond microdermabrasion, (so depending on your point of view it’s either dated, or has a longer clinical history)
  • Using aluminum oxide crystals involves ongoing disposables expense
  • Some dermatologists claim that the aluminum oxide crystals left embedded in the skin after traditional crystal microderm absorb oils and help with acne.
  • Other dermatologists claim that the aluminum oxide crystals left embedded in the skin after traditional crystal microderm attract or introduce contamination.
  • Combining crystal free diamond microdermabrasion with other Tx, (like IPL, photofacial, PDT, chemical peels or masks) is cleaner, faster and simpler than having to clean off the crystals.
  • DiamondTome is the original, patented crystal free diamond microdermabrasion machine.
  • Diamonds are up to 100 times sharper than aluminum oxide crystals, so diamond exfoliation is less irritating.
  • Diamondtome is the ONLY manufacturer of diamond microdermabrasion machines that document the use of REAL DIAMONDS, (documented and ISO 9001 compliant)
  • Flying crystals, impacting the skin increase non-abrasive irritation. More irritation does not mean better results
  • Crystals will eventually penetrate the vacuum pumpof a traditional crystal microderm machine, meaning a shorter lifespan for the machine and more maintenance.
  • DiamondTome diamond microderm allows you to show your client the actual exfoliated skin you have removed!
