What is Skin Resurfacing?

Skin Resurfacing can reduce the effects of aging on our skin. Years of sun exposure and the aging process take their toll on the skin, creating lines, wrinkles, and changes in texture and color. Not only is the face a likely victim of these changes, but the neck, chest, cleavage, arms and hands may be affected as well.
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. Skin Resurfacing treatments are normally administered by a trained clinician, nurse, aesthetician, or physician. A wonderful alternative or compliment to chemical peels, the DiamondTome™ Skin Resurfacing treatment is non-invasive, pain-free and requires no down time after treatment.
Leading plastic surgeons and dermatologist regard the DiamondTome™ system as being more gentle and affective than other exfoliating systems, even at higher settings. The length of the treatment and number of treatments vary depending on skin type and condition. Results are gradual but highly effective. Most people experience softer, smoother skin after their first treatment.

History of Skin Resurfacing

The ancient Egyptians are said to be the first to use dermabrasion skin care techniques to improve their skin. Kings and queens used alabaster and pumice to remove blemishes and rough spots and make their skin smooth and soft. In the mid-90's a skin care technique using aluminum oxide powder for microdermabrasion was developed in Italy. The process uses vacuum and a small orifice to accelerate the powder. Aluminum oxide abrades the skin and the vacuum cleans out blocked pores. The technique proved effective; however, it has some disadvantages:

1. Aluminum oxide is left imbedded in the skin and floating around in the air.
2. There is a significant volume of material to dispose of after each procedure.
3. The crystals are left in the hair and clothes of both the patient and clinician.
4. The clinician must wear a particle mask and client must wear eye protection and remove contacts.
5. The cost per treatment of crystal-based systems is normally $5 - $12 per treatment.

The DiamondTome™ Skin Resurfacing system with DiamondTome™ Wands is an evolution in microdermabrasion.

DiamondTome™ offers a twenty-first century skin care technology for applying the millennia old technique of dermabrasion. By eliminating the powders and crystals (aluminum oxide and salt) DiamondTome™ has made skin rejuvenation the clean, controlled procedure it should be.
