If you are interested in obtaining perfect skin, follow us to learn more about this procedure.

What is crystal peeling?

Let’s take a quick look at what this procedure is from its inception until now:

Crystal peeling began to be used since the late eighties of the last century as a cosmetic procedure to reduce the effects of burns and reduce them as much as possible, and doctors noticed at that time its positive effect on the skin, so
After proving its effectiveness and being safe on the skin, it was approved in
America officially 1998 among the procedures of facial plastic surgery.

How does crystal peeling affect the skin?

Aluminum oxide crystals remove the layer of dead skin cells and leave a new surface that feels fresh and vibrant and free of impurities and dead skin.
The device is equipped with what looks like a vacuum cleaner, where its task is to suction the remnants of dead skin that have been exfoliated and crystals as well from the surface of the skin.
Crystal peeling is not limited to this only, but this process stimulates collagen and elastin in the skin, which increases the skin’s freshness and youth.

Steps of crystal peeling

Crystal peeling takes place in ten steps, follow it with us.

First, we start by cleansing the skin and removing cosmetics so that the skin is ready for the peeling process
Secondly, we examine the skin under a dedicated light to see exactly what is happening on the surface of the skin to determine its condition
Third, we then perform a physical peeling using a skin scrub to soften the dead cells and facilitate their removal later.
Fourthly, we now come to the step of the fruit acid mask, accompanied by steam, where we apply this mask to more effectively remove the dead cells that we began to exfoliate in the last step.
Fifthly, we do crystal peeling using the special grips for that.
Sixth, we use the ziwan pole to remove blackheads.
Seventh, we apply a post-peeling mask to get rid of peeling residues and stimulate collagen.
Eighth, a massage is done around the eyes to calm the face and relieve skin irritation. It also helps reduce wrinkles around the eyes.
Ninth, moisturize the skin.
Tenth and finally, a sunscreen is applied to protect the skin that is very sensitive to sunlight after peeling.

Crystal peeling for the sensitive area

Did it ever occur to you that you can easily get rid of the very annoying ingrown hairs in sensitive areas? This is another benefit of microdermabrasion as it is not limited to the face only!

However, this area remains a hormonal area, and interference with it has its own considerations, so peeling is quick and lighter than facial peeling.

Benefits of microdermabrasion

In the event that you intend to perform a crystal peeling, there must be specific results that you want from it, so do you know exactly what they are? Let us tell you a little about it.. Crystal peeling helps to get rid of the following problems:

melasma.
pigmentation.
signs of aging.
Acne and its effects.
white lines.
Uneven skin tone.
Wrinkles and lines such as laugh lines and under the eyes.
Skin dullness.
Wide pores and blackheads.
Sunburn.

Crystalline damage

Since every cosmetic procedure is a double-edged sword and has its advantages and disadvantages, we also have to tell you about some of the minor damages of crystal peeling, which are:

edema of the epidermis;
blushing.
Skin irritation.
Some people with very sensitive skin may experience permanent scars on their face after peeling, but these can be avoided by moisturizing well after peeling and avoiding the sun.
The skin becomes more susceptible to sunburn
Some people get skin infections as a result of lack of good sterilization of tools by specialists, so be sure to choose a doctor or center that you trust.

Who are the people who cannot undergo crystal peeling?

There are some special cases in which the effect of crystal peeling is reversed, i.e. more harmful than beneficial, and some of these cases are:

In the case of taking Retin or Ricotan, the Retin medication already exfoliates the skin and leaves it dry and very sensitive, so the skin will not be able to bear additional exfoliation.
The presence of inflamed grains, crystal peeling is useful in removing traces and remnants of grains, but is peeling inflamed grains a good idea? of course not! Because this will exacerbate the situation, so it must be treated first.
Exposure to the sun, it is recommended to perform crystal peeling in the winter in general, because the sun’s rays are less intense, because the skin after peeling is generally susceptible to pigmentation.

My experience with microdermabrasion

The owner of the famous “Pilatori” blog, which specializes in trying skin care treatments and methods, and sharing them with her followers, shared with us her experience with crystal peeling, as follows:

As I mentioned earlier, I am trying to rejuvenate my skin through several procedures such as fractional laser and others to get rid of the effects of my acne.
So I tried microdermabrasion and my experience was amazing, to say the least!
I experienced slight redness immediately after the peel, but it disappeared the next day and I went straight back to my usual skin care routine.
I also noticed that the pores around my nose and on my forehead became visibly smaller.
My skin texture is much smoother and even my dark spots are lighter.”

Skin care methods after microdermabrasion

There are some tips that will help you maintain the result of crystal peeling for as long as possible, including:

Use sunblock 15 minutes before leaving the house and renew it every two hours.
This is not just advice, but a very important procedure to avoid facial burns in the first period after peeling.
Exfoliate the skin weekly using either a ready-made scrub or a homemade scrub of sugar and olive oil to prevent dead skin from accumulating again.
Use a lotion and toner suitable for the skin twice a day, and avoid sleeping without removing cosmetics first.

The difference between diamond and crystal peeling

Diamond and microdermabrasion are two similar procedures that give similar results.

However, there are differences between them that will make you prefer one over the other (and to shorten the comparison, you will prefer crystal).

While the principle of crystal peeling depends on pumping aluminum oxide crystals to do the peeling.

In diamond peeling, the head of the diamond device rubs against the skin itself and exfoliates it through gentle back and forth movements.

There are some reasons why we prefer microdermabrasion as mentioned above, and they are:

It is less transferable to infection or germs due to the possibility of sterilizing the head of the device with heat
An area around the eye can be peeled with crystal peeling, not with diamond peeling.
Some grains can be treated with crystals, but they cannot be treated with diamond peeling

Crystal peel cost

Crystal peeling is generally an inexpensive procedure, with an average cost of only $100-200.
