Here at Sensational Styles & Spa,
Inc. we are proud to offer wonderful skin
resurfacing sessions utilizing our Diamond Tome
medical grade microdermabrasion system. This
system is similar to other microdermabrasion
systems, but does not produce the adverse
effects of particle microdermabrasion systems,
such as irritation and reactive skin. This means
that we are able to provide individualized,
effective treatments without the sandy or gritty
feeling you get with traditional
microdermabrasion. Using a special treatment
wand incorporating natural diamond chips, we
gently exfoliate the topmost layer of skin.
Removing this outer layer of dead skin cells
relieves congestion in the skin and reduces pore
size, while drawing out blackheads and
whiteheads. This treatment creates a smoother
texture and promotes the growth of healthy new
cells. Diamond Tome™ Skin Resurfacing treatments
are for men and women interested in improving
the appearance and health of their skin. .Skin
Resurfacing treatments are administered by a
trained professional. The skin is polished and
not broken which can lead to bleeding.

What is microdermabrasion?
Microdermabrasion is a progressive, non-invasive
treatment that removes the top layer of the
skin; dead skin cells. It promotes the
production of new cells in the deepest layer of
the dermis. It cleans pores and aids in
balancing oil production. It stimulates collagen
networking to further even out skin texture and
tone. This non-invasive skin care treatment can
be completed in a short period of time and
requires no down time after treatment.
How does the treatment work?
Microdermabrasion works in two ways. It works by
gently exfoliating or removing the outside
layers (stratum corneum) of the skin. The
abrasive action of the wand gently removes the
outer surface layers, allowing smoother, fresher
skin to be apparent. The second way is that the
vacuum action helps to stimulate
microcirculation and lymphatic flow, increasing
the blood supply that provides nutrients needed
for skin regeneration. This helps accelerate the
skins repair process and stimulates the
formation of new collagen and elastin thereby
improving skin texture and elasticity.
How is microdermabrasion performed? The
area is thoroughly cleansed to remove excess
oils from the skin. A wand is manually passed
over the skin on the face. It gently abrades the
surface while a vacuum thoroughly cleanses the
skin of impurities. The procedure lasts 15
minutes. Afterwards a soothing toner is applied
to the face, followed with a hydrating cream and
sun block.
How often is treatment recommended?
Individual microdermabrasion treatments are
recommended every two weeks. When performed with
an alternating skin care treatment, the protocol
would be microdermabrasion, followed two weeks
later with an alternating treatment, followed
two weeks later with microdermabrasion. Four
sessions of each treatment are recommended
depending on skin condition and concerns.
Maintenance sessions should be sought to keep
skin healthy and glowing. Length of treatment
and number of treatments is dependent on skin
type and condition.
What conditions can be treated with
microdermabrasion? Sun damaged skin of the
neck, face, and shoulders *Age spots - Face, and
hands too! *Reduction of minor to moderate early
aging fine lines - Near the eyes and on the
forehead *Blending of cosmetic surgery or laser
treatments *Reduction of acne scarring
*Extraction of blackheads and whiteheads *Minor
scar revision *Hyper pigmentation reduction
*Oily skin *Rejuvenation of skin health
Is microdermabrasion for everyone?
Microdermabrasion is recommended for uneven
granular skin, sun damage, enlarged pores,
blackheads, fine lines and wrinkles, minor acne
scars, and skin discoloration. Microdermabrasion
cannot be expected to remove deep wrinkles,
birth marks or tattoos. Microdermabrasion works
on improving skin texture and restoring the skin
elasticity and clarity. A series of treatments
can produce a nice anti-aging result.
How does the Diamond Tome Microdermabrasion
System work? This system exfoliates the skin
gently, using natural diamond chips. The dead
skin cells of the epidermis are vacuumed away
during the resurfacing session, in a sterile and
controlled manner. Removal of this outer layer
reveals a smoother complexion and stimulates the
production of healthy, younger cells.
What are the risks of microdermabrasion?
There are not many risks associated with
microdermabrasion if you are a healthy adult,
but we must consider those with skin or medical
conditions. You should NOT have a
microdermabrasion treatment if you have an
undiagnosed lesion, recent herpes outbreak,
warts, active weeping acne (stages 3-4), active
rosacea, unstable diabetes, auto-immune system
disorders, recent laser surgery, recent start of
Retin A, recent chemical peel, recent waxing,
and if prone to hyper pigmentation take
precautions in lowering pressures.
Compare loose crystals to natural diamond
tips. Microdermabrasion using a Diamond Tome
wand is similar to particle microdermabrasion in
its results but without the adverse effects of
loose particles, irritation and skin reaction.
Unlike other exfoliation treatments, natural
diamond chips are encrusted onto the end of
different grade wands and no loose abrasives
will contaminate you or the environment.
What are the abrasive particles used to
abrade the skin? Most microdermabrasion
units use an aluminum oxide or a salt crystal to
abrade the skin sometimes causing an adverse
reaction or skin irritation. The crystals can
get embedded into the skin clogging pores. Loose
particles cannot be used around lasers. That's
why we use the Diamond Tome - no loose
particles!
Is microdermabrasion painful? No, the
treatment is performed with little discomfort
and is adjusted to your comfort level. At the
most, sensitive skin might experience a
sensation resembling a light sunburn or
windburn. After treatment, the skin has a pink
glow, and you can resume your normal activities
immediately. The procedure can be done during
lunch hour.
What preparations should be done before
treatment? Stop aggressive exfoliating
products 24 hrs. Prior to treatment, including
Retin A and Renova. It's best to ask your
medical professional or skin consultant for
microdermabrasion preparation tips if you are
using any intense skin care products.
What are the differences in the machines?
There are all types of machines on the market
today, although many of them are not high
quality. Microdermabrasion utilizes crystals to
finely resurface superficial layers of the skin.
Many spas or salons, as well as dermatologists
and plastic surgeons may have cheaper models
…charging full price on a cheaper, less
effective peel. Our Diamond Tome
microdermabrasion is a medical grade machine.
What should be done post-treatment? A
moisturizer and a sunscreen are applied to the
skin prior to leaving. Some redness is expected
after a treatment; however this is not likely to
persist more than a few hours. The sensation of
having a mild windburn or sunburn should also
pass after a few hours. Avoid direct sun
exposure for 7 days after a treatment. We stress
the importance of using a high quality sun
protectant product as well as minimizing sun
exposure. Exposure to UV radiation is one of the
key factors in speeding the skin's aging
process. Avoid AHA products and skin exfoliation
scrubs for 72 hours after treatment. Youngblood
Mineral Make-up may be applied immediately after
treatment; however you may wish to experience
the clean fresh glow of your skin.
Does the Diamond Tome Microdermabrasion
System cause discomfort? This system is
designed to be painless, yet effective. Our
aestheticians are trained in the use of
Microdermabrasion machinery and understand what
levels are appropriate regarding vacuum power
and coarseness of the wands used. Even at its
highest setting, the Diamond Tome
Microdermabrasion system is extremely gentle.
Why choose microdermabrasion with the Diamond
Tome System? *Non-invasive *Non surgical,
safe alternative to plastic surgery *Gentle
compared to most exfoliating systems, even at
the highest settings.
How will my skin feel after the treatment?
Your skin may have a flushed appearance,
however, this generally subsides within 30
minutes. Your skin will be left looking and
feeling younger after the first treatment, and
will improve with successive sessions. 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.
Skin Resurfacing is a treatment that improves
wrinkles, skin texture and color by removing the
topmost layer of skin leaving it more supple and
vibrant. Skin Resurfacing also stimulates the
elastic tissue beneath the surface of the skin
resulting in a healthier and firmer appearance.
