Is your skin looking dull and lackluster? Wishing for a vibrant, healthy glow? Exfoliation can be a great choice for you.
When dead skin cells build up, it can cause your skin to look dull, dry and unevenly textured- and can even clog your pores. Regular exfoliation can help reveal a fresh layer of skin that retains moisture better, speeds up cell turnover, and increases collagen production over time.
Two popular choices are Chemical Peels and Microdermabrasion. There are a few different types of microdermabrasion but today we’ll discuss the kind we offer at DERMASPACE, Diamond Microdermabrasion.
Diamond Microdermabrasion is a physical exfoliation with a diamond-encrusted applicator wand. As it passes over the skin’s surface, it creates a gentle suction to remove the top layer of dead skin to minimize uneven texture, some acne scars, large pores and fine lines- while vacuuming the dead skin cells away. As it removes the outer layer of dead skin, it leaves a smoother texture and promotes the growth of healthy new skin cells- causing instant plump and glow. Plus, little to zero downtime!
A Chemical Peel involves applying a chemical solution formulated to peel off dead skin and stimulate collagen production. While the treatment time is short, the peeling process takes about 3-5 days. About 2 days after your treatment, skin will start flaking. The amount of flaking and peeling depends on your dead skin buildup: if you exfoliate regularly the peeling may be light, if not it may be more intense. After the peeling period is over you are left with youthful, smoother and more evenly toned skin.

Both treatments are great for improving the appearance of dull skin, uneven tone and texture. While a Chemical Peel is capable of penetrating deeper into the skin for more dramatic results, Diamond Microdermabrasion tends to be not as invasive- with much less downtime and post care (great for more sensitive skin). Like always, speak with your esthetician for a personalized recommendation.
