Diamond Abrasion at The Skin Centre.

This procedure is an abrasion technique that removes the outer dead layer of skin. The mechanical forces can regulate extracellular matrix homeostasis through its effects on collagen and matrix degrading enzymes produced by fibroblasts. Thus the skin is stimulated to create new collagen that will improve skin tone and texture and remove some fine lines.
 Pores are unblocked which in turn relieves acne and allows other treatments to penetrate more deeply. The technique is very gentle, there is no significant down-time. The treatment has to be repeated a number of times however in order to achieve significant benefit.

Most patients notice improvement within two to three treatments. This treatment augments many other topical agents.

Patients can be reassured that no Aluminium crystals are used. Microdermabrasion with Aluminium crystals has been reported to have the potential for side effects.

Our  staff can recommend a package to suit you.

Dr Darius J. Karimipour, MD says in the  Journal of American Academy of Dermatology 2006.

"Although microdermabrasion is a very safe
procedure, complications related to the corundum
may occur. Ocular complications, including eye
irritation and adherence of crystals to the cornea,
have been reported. Aluminum oxide dust has also
been associated with pulmonary fibrosis.
Aluminum exposure has also been implicated in
the pathophysiology of Alzheimer’s disease."
