Skin 101, Diamond Peel Microdermabrasion
The late nights, stress and lack of sleep during those days spent by my father’s hospital bed has left my skin extremely dehydrated and dull. Tiny little pimples that appeared way back have now seemed to have set up shop all around my face. My pores look like you have them under a microscope and nothing I do seem to work anymore. Where’s the miracle in “miracle products” when you need them most?
Off I went to Clarity Aesthetic Center hoping to get myself into a diamond peel session to get my skin cleared up as soon as possible. Unfortunately, there were way more people that woke up early and got there before me than I had anticipated. Frustrated, I left to see if there were other places in the mall that I could go to for my DP session.
Skin 101 Dermatology and Cosmetic Clinic was on the same floor as Clarity at the Market Market Mall. The facade was a welcoming site and looked similar to how spa receptions would like more so than that of derma clinics. Which is why it beckoned to me. I inquired if they had an available slot for a walk in and they confirmed, yey!
I get whisked off into a common room for my session. A common room is one where there are multiple beds and machines to accommodate multiple clients at the same time. I wasn’t too hesitant because I was the only one in the room but not long after, another client arrived all giddy and chatty and I longed for the peace and quiet of a private room. I really wasn’t in the mood to hear all about how her day was too hectic yada yada yada. I then also realized why they had a sign in the room that said “Pls. don’t leave your valuables unattended”. With all the foot traffic that goes in and out of the room combined with your eyes being closed due to the treatment, you might never notice that your treasured purse is gone.
Skin 101’s diamond peel session is preluded by a glycolic peel. A solution was applied to my face that created a combined sensation of itch and prickling pain, although bearable. After two minutes, the solution was wiped off and the DP session began.
The aesthetician who did the work on my face had quite heavy hands. Either that or she must have figured I had cowhide for skin considering how hard she was scraping the tool on my face. I never experienced that when I had treatment in other skin clinics so I was really not liking it at all. More than once my eyes teared up because of the pain. When it was over, my skin felt raw but also very soft and tender. It was the one thing I was familiar with so it was encouraging. At least I got the correct results.
The price for the DP session was cheaper than I first thought at only Php 1000.00. But I didn’t expect to pay more for the treatment and the service that I got. For my next session, I might have to ask for another aesthetician or maybe just go back to Clarity even if I have to pay a lot more.
