What is microdermabrasion?
Microdermabrasion is a superficial treatment that affects the outer layer of skin, the epidermis, by exfoliating the dead skin cells of your face, neck chest or other areas.
 
Who can benefit from it?
A DLK Microdermabrasion or Diamond Peel benefits both men and women of any skin type and colour.  It can treat brown sun spots, hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone, aging and dry skin, large pores and may help reduce fine lines and wrinkles. 
 
What areas can be treated?
Any number of areas on the body can be treated.  Most common areas include the face, neck, back, arms and hands.
 
Why microdermabrasion?
Microdermabrasion is a treatment that many people like because it is not nearly as harsh as dermabrasion or a chemical peel.  Although results are subtler, those who have had the treatment find that their skin is more radiant, make-up goes on better, and pigmentation is evened out.
 
How long does it take?
The DLK Microdermabrasion treatment usually takes 30 minutes.
 
How many treatments will I need?
Typically, most people go through a series of 4 to 8 treatments at intervals of one to three weeks to achieve their desired results.  A more even skin tone and texture are key benefits.
 
Are there any side effects?
The sensation felt during a microdermabrasion treatment is fairly mild and will leave the skin feeling like it has a slight sun or wind burn.  The procedure causes little inconvenience or discomfort and most people can return to work immediately after the treatment.  Extra hydrating soothing products are recommended, especially for the first 72 hours.  Another important thing to remember is to wear sunscreen after the treatment, since your skin will be more susceptible to the light.
 
How can I prepare from the procedure?
There is no specific preparation required for the treatment.  A few precautions however do apply.  Those with undiagnosed lesions, a herpes outbreak, warts, active weeping acne, active Rosacea, unstable diabetes, or autoimmune disorders should not have microdermabrasion on the affected area.
