What is a diamond peel?

This resurfacing is also called “diamond facial cleansing”, this definition is partly true, but not entirely correct. Yes, no doubt, in the course of diamond-vacuum peeling, the smallest particles of dirt and excess sebum are removed along with dead cells, the skin really becomes cleaner, matte, especially after the course. However, this is more of a “side effect” of the main action of the procedure – exfoliation and skin renewal. As such, the extraction of comedones and blackheads, as with classical cleaning, does not occur.

How often can a diamond peel be done?

How often you can (and should) do diamond peeling is determined individually. Sometimes a maintenance procedure once every 2-3 months is enough. With severe problems, you may need a course of an average of five procedures with a frequency of once every one to two weeks.
