Diamond Tip Microdermabrasion

Following your Diamond Tip Microdermabrasion treatment, it is important to care for your skin correctly to support healing and achieve the best possible results. It is normal to experience some temporary side effects following treatment, including: * Mild redness. * Slight skin sensitivity. * Tightness or dryness. * A feeling similar to mild sunburn. * Light flaking as the skin renews itself. These reactions are expected and usually settle within 24–48 hours. To protect your skin and maximise your results: * Use a gentle cleanser and moisturiser recommended by your practitioner. * Keep your skin well hydrated. * Avoid touching or rubbing the treated area unnecessarily. * Drink plenty of water to support healthy skin. For the first 24-48 hours: * Avoid direct sun exposure. * Apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30–50 daily. * Avoid hot baths, saunas, steam rooms and hot tubs. * Avoid vigorous exercise or activities that cause excessive sweating. * Avoid swimming pools and chlorinated water. * Avoid applying makeup for at least 24 hours, where possible. For the first 5–7 days: * Avoid retinol, retinoids, AHAs, BHAs, glycolic acid, salicylic acid, vitamin C serums and exfoliating products. * Do not use facial scrubs or mechanical exfoliants. * Avoid waxing, threading or depilatory creams on the treated area. * Continue using a gentle skincare routine with a cleanser, moisturiser and daily SPF. Diamond Tip Microdermabrasion helps to exfoliate the outer layer of dead skin cells, leaving the skin looking brighter, smoother and more refreshed. To maintain your results: * Follow a consistent skincare routine. * Apply SPF 30–50 every day. * Keep your skin hydrated. * Attend regular maintenance treatments as recommended by your practitioner. Please contact Body Perfection Clinic if you have any concerns about your healing or experience: Severe or worsening redness lasting longer than 72 hours. Excessive swelling or increasing pain.

If you think you have developed an infection (such as increasing redness, excessive heat, pus, discharge or fever), or you feel generally unwell, please seek immediate medical advice from your GP, NHS 111 or your nearest emergency department if your symptoms are severe. Your practitioner will be happy to advise you and arrange a review appointment if required.

For your Diamond-Tip Microdermabrasion appointment, we recommend wearing comfortable clothing and arriving with clean skin free from makeup where possible. If treatment is being performed on the face, neck or chest, a loose-fitting top with a wide neckline or buttons is ideal to allow easy access and minimise friction afterwards.

Soft, breathable clothing is recommended, particularly if your skin is sensitive or prone to redness. Avoid applying fake tan, heavy moisturisers or perfumes to the treatment area before your appointment.
