Diamonds on My Face

Kathy M. Villalon talks about her diamond peel experience under TM Europea Skinea
SO much has been said about diamond peel and how it makes one's skin youthful and vibrant. From what this writer has read, diamond peel is an effective and mechanical peeling of old skin. Unlike facials, this does not make one's face puffy after a session, it's fast and pain-free. Also, it removes 98 percent of the skin's imperfections after several sessions compared to facials, which can only deal with simple concerns like whiteheads and blackheads.
Diamond peel helps improve uneven skin coloring and aging spots, superficial acne scars, sun-damaged skin and aging fine lines, dry rough skin and large pores.
Such curiosity led this writer to undertake the process under the adept hands of TM Europa Skinea's face and skin experts.
So, that first diamond peel session took place on Friday the 13th last July.
First, they open your pores with a laser that emits mild heat. It also provides relaxation for the face. Then, the dead skin is removed through the use of a diamond-tipped wand through continuous scrubbing and vacuuming. The process takes about 20 minutes. Then, a comedon is used to remove blackheads and whiteheads.

After such, ionotheraphy is applied. Here, vitamins and skin revitalizing agents are introduced into the skin using a mild and painless galvanic current. This boosts facial circulation and oxygenation while giving a skin a good workout to make it firm and taut. This is also used to lessen blemishes of the face, to hydrate very dry skin and to whiten dark underarms. Treatment lasts for 20 minutes. The treatment can be done every one to two weeks.
After ionotheraphy, a laser that emits cold is applied in order to close the face's pores. Once the pores are closed, cream and sunblock are applied.
TM Europea Skinea owner Theresa Macalalag advises one to be protected from sunlight two days after a diamond peel session. Those who live an active lifestyle need not fret. "Just wear a sunblock," she assures. Sunblocks of different SPFs are available at TM Europea Skinea, by the way.
After that diamond peel session, the writer went off to coverages and received remarks from friends like, "What did you do with your face? It seems to glow and it's not oily," or "Your face seem to have this matte finish. What did you do?" A few days later, a friend commented, "See, I told you. Diamond peel really works. Your face has this different glow and it looks pinkish. Try more sessions, you'll see more improvements."
One person told this writer that diamond peel is addictive. First, it was hard to believe, especially by someone who is not a believer in facials and other processes that one applies on one's face just to look better. But she's right, it is addictive. This writer is looking forward to the next diamond peel session.
Looks like this is going to be a monthly rendezvous with TM Europa Skinea after all. Addictive? Yes, because TM Europa Skinea's diamond peel is effective and everybody needs it to rejuvenate one's skin.
