DiamondTome Crystal Free Skin Resurfacing System
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. This popularized process uses vacuum and a small orifice to accelerate the powder. Aluminum oxide abrades the skin and the vacuum cleans out the blocked pores and debries. The technique although effective has some disadvantages: 1. Aluminum oxide is left imbedded in the skin and at times causes burning, irritation and skin reactions. 2. The crystals are floating around in the air and left in the hair and clothes of both the patient and clinician.

The new revolutionary 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. DiamondTome Skin Rejuvenating System uses wands that are impregnated with precise size diamond chips and uses a vacuum at controlled settings to assure the appropriate amount of exfoliation that will produce uniform results.

Now let’s take a moment to understand the purpose of 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 the skin more supple and vibrant. This process also stimulates the elastic tissue beneath the surface of the skin resulting in a healthier and firmer appearance. Skin resurfacing treatments are administered by a trained aesthetician. A wonderful alternative 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 effective 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 impressive. Most people experience softer, smoother skin after their first treatment.
