Laser Treatment Alternatives: Chemical Peels, Diamond Microdermabrasion, and Micro-Needling radovalifestyle.com /blog/articles/laser-treatment-alternatives-chemical-peels-diamondmicrodermabrasion-and-micro

The industry is full of procedures and products that promise drastic results for your skin but you should always trust the word of someone who specializes in skincare. I believe everybody has individual skincare needs and the best options right now include micro-needling, chemical peels and diamond microdermabrasion, or better yet, a combination of all three. They offer amazing results and leave clients with healthy and glowing skin. Micro-needling, popularly known as collagen induction therapy, is the most effective with minimal side effects.


The reason why I don’t recommend laser treatment is changes in the client’s pigment dependent upon the makeup of the skin fibers. Pale, lifeless skin from hypo-pigmentation is a common side-effect in darkerskinned clients whereas hyperpigmentation can develop brown spots in treated areas. Both these conditions are noticeable under make-up. Safer results are possible through micro-needling, chemical peels and diamond microdermabrasion. I prefer chemical peels as they help with numerous skin problems. However, you need to choose the proper sort of light peel, medium peel or medical-level peel for the correct skin type in order to get suitable results without any negative effects. Medium-depth chemical peels are great for visible results in the skin’s appearance without any of the risks associated with lasers. In case your skin is not suited for medium-depth peel, successive sessions of lighter peels can produce similar results safely. Diamond microdermabrasion and micro-needling treatments complement chemical peels and together produce a major difference in the skin’s texture. While diamond microdermabrasion is used to remove dead layers of skin safely, chemical peels immediately afterwards can penetrate deeply and more evenly. Skin becomes thinner with age but monthly micropeels help buildup collagen that results in healthier, thicker skin.
