Facial Cleaning and Diamond Peel
A facial treatment is a professional skin care procedure aimed at improving the health and appearance of your skin. It usually involves steps like:
Cleansing to remove dirt and impurities.
Exfoliating to remove dead skin cells.
Extraction (optional) to clear clogged pores.
Mask to address specific skin concerns (hydration, acne, etc.).
Massage for relaxation and circulation.
Moisturizing to hydrate and protect the skin
Sun protection if done during the day.
Facial treatments can be tailored for various needs, like anti-aging, acne, or hydration.
••• Diamond peel is an exfoliation treatment that uses a diamond-tipped wand to gently exfoliate the skin. It helps to remove dead skin cells, improve skin texture, and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Facials and diamond peels can be combined to provide a more comprehensive skin care treatment. The diamond peel can be used as part of the exfoliation step in a facial, or it can be performed as a standalone treatment.

FAQS
What is a Facial Cleaning?
A facial cleaning is a skincare treatment that involves cleansing, exfoliating, and hydrating the skin to remove impurities, unclog pores, and promote a healthy glow. It’s ideal for maintaining clean, clear skin and can be customized for different skin types.
What is a Diamond Peel?
A Diamond Peel is a non-invasive microdermabrasion treatment that uses a diamond-tipped device to exfoliate the outer layer of dead skin cells. It helps improve skin texture, reduce fine lines, and address acne scars and pigmentation for a smoother, brighter complexion.
What is a Photo Dynamic Therapy (PDT)?
Photo Dynamic Therapy (PDT) uses specialized light energy to penetrate deep into the skin, promoting collagen production and enhancing the effectiveness of topical treatments. It helps reduce wrinkles, improve skin texture, treat acne, and boost skin radiance. PDT is a non-invasive, relaxing therapy that works well in combination with facials or Diamond Peels for enhanced results.
What’s the difference between a regular facial and a Diamond Peel?
A regular facial focuses on deep cleansing, exfoliation, and hydration, while a Diamond Peel uses a diamond-tipped device for deeper exfoliation, helping to address skin concerns like acne scars, pigmentation, and fine lines more effectively.
How often should I get a facial or Diamond Peel?
For best results, facials can be done every 4-6 weeks, while Diamond Peels can be done every 4-8 weeks, depending on your skin type and goals. Your esthetician can recommend a personalized schedule.
Is there any downtime after a Diamond Peel?
There’s minimal downtime after a Diamond Peel. You may experience slight redness or sensitivity, but it usually subsides within a few hours. Be sure to follow post-treatment care instructions, such as using sunscreen.
General Aftercare:
How should I care for my skin immediately after a facial or Diamond Peel?
• Hydrate: Drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated.
• Avoid sun exposure: For at least 24-48 hours, avoid direct sun exposure.

• Gentle cleansing: Use a mild, non-abrasive cleanser and avoid scrubbing or exfoliating for 3-5 days post-treatment.

Can I exercise after a facial or Diamond Peel?
It’s best to avoid strenuous exercise, excessive sweating, or heat (like saunas or hot tubs) for 24 hours after your treatment, as these can irritate freshly treated skin.
What should I do if my skin feels sensitive or red after treatment?
It’s normal to experience mild redness or sensitivity, especially after a Diamond Peel. Apply a soothing, hydrating moisturizer and avoid touching your face. If redness persists or you experience discomfort, contact your esthetician for advice.
Can I use products like retinol or exfoliants after my facial or Diamond Peel?
After your treatment, avoid using strong active ingredients like retinol, AHAs, or BHAs for at least 3-5 days to prevent irritation. Stick to gentle, hydrating products.
How long should I wait before using makeup after a facial or Diamond Peel?
It’s recommended to wait at least 24 hours before applying makeup to allow your skin to recover fully and minimize the risk of irritation or clogged pores.
Will I experience peeling after a Diamond Peel?
Mild peeling or flaking can occur after a Diamond Peel as dead skin cells are exfoliated. This is normal and usually lasts 2-3 days. Avoid picking at your skin to prevent scarring.
Can I go back to my regular skincare routine after the treatment?
Yes, but it’s best to ease back into your routine with gentle products for the first few days. Avoid strong exfoliants or harsh treatments until your skin has fully recovered.
Are there any activities I should avoid post-treatment?
Yes, avoid:
• Sun exposure without protection
• Heat treatments (saunas, hot showers, steam rooms) for 24-48 hours.
• Swimming in chlorinated water for a few days to prevent irritation.
• Touching or picking at the skin to avoid introducing bacteria and causing breakouts.
