Dermcare: Diamond Power Peel Treatment (From Php 950 down to Php 199 on Metrodeal)
Beauty & Health 7:54 PM
There are a lot of reasons why some of us have dull skin — either our diet is not that good, we don't drink enough water, or basically we don't have any skin care routine. Living in a tropical country like the Philippines also makes our skin looking dull especially if we don't put any sunscreens for protection. Dull skin tone is a result of excess dead skin cells that build up on the surface of the skin.
Good thing is that we can have facial services like Diamond Power Peel Treatment to give our face a radiant, flawless skin that glows with health. This means that a fresh, youthful complexion is unveiled every time the outer layer of dead skin cells is shed, which keeps the complexion young and glowing.
As of the writing, Dermcare's Diamond Power Peel costs Php 950.00 per session, however, I got mine for only Php 199.00. What a steal, right? The secret is to buy a voucher on Metrodeal! I just purchased an add on Gold mask for Php 200.00 when I arrived in Dermcare.

So let me share my experience in this treatment:
Step One: Cleanse, Moisturize, and Steam
They will ask you to wash your face with their own facial cleanser. After that you will lay down on the recliner and your esthetician (mine is Ate Dorothy who is very friendly) will put some moisturizer onto your face. She also put pads on my eyes so that she can start the steaming process to open my pores. This takes for about 10 - 15 minutes. I must say that for the first few seconds, I felt like I want to cough because of the steam, I don't know if its just me though. Hehe.
Step Two: Pricking
Pricking is getting rid of your blackheads, whiteheads, and sometimes pimples (but it depends on the pimple that you have if its ripe or not). This process may take from 15 - 30 minutes depending on how much they need to remove.
Step Three: Suction and Laser
Your esthetician will use a small tube to suck out the remaining dirt from your face. After that, she will use a glass wand-like that has laser and just massage it onto your face.
Step Four: Heat Hammer
This heat hammer is used to open up your pores again so it would be ready for the Diamond Peel. The difference between the steamer and this step is that the heat hammer is being massaged also to your face. It's warm and relaxing.
Step Five: Diamond Peel Scrubbing and Suction
Diamond Peel is a safe and effective method which takes out dirt and dead skin. It employs the use of special diamond-tipped hand piece which is run over by the dermatologist / esthetician over the surface of skin to vacuum away whiteheads, blackheads, dirt, and dead skin. Diamond Peel produces collagen, minimizes scars, removes blackheads, and improves skin conditions. It will also prevent skin from being oily, leaving it clear, smooth and young-looking. If you have low pain tolerance, it may hurt, but for most people it's tolerable. I would say I felt more pain during the pricking than this one.
Step Six: Mask (optional)
I got the Gold mask. The reason why they suggest you to have a mask is that its more easier for our skin to absorb the nutrients when our face is squeaky clean and our pores are open. They offer different masks like seaweeds, collagen, gold, oatmeal, cucumber, and so on.
Step Seven: Cold Hammer and Cream
In this last step, your esthetician will just use a cold hammer and massage it onto your face again to help close your pores. After that, she will put a Hydrocortisone cream to reduce some redness in the skin. And that's it! They will also give you a complimentary back massage to end the service.
Here are some things that you may want to know:
Things To Avoid
- Avoid being exposed to direct sunlight when you undergo diamond peel session. Your skin is very fresh which means it is sensitive to ultraviolet rays.
- Avoid using extreme facial creams or astringent as they may sting.
- Apply thin and hypo-allergenic makeup if necessary.
Is diamond peel available for men?
- The treatment is available to everyone. The same procedure is done for both men and women.
Is it good for teenagers and kids?
- This procedure may not be ideal for these age ranges. You should ask the dermatologist first if the procedure is fine with your children.
How Many Times Should I have In A Week or Month?
- Based on my esthetician, for the initial treatment, it is recommended that you do it once in two weeks. When you have noticed the results to be improving, you may do it once a month.
How Much Is The Treatment Price?
- Diamond peel price in the Philippines usually range from P1000 to P3000 or $25 per session, depending on the clinic where you want to get the treatment from. You can also find good discounts and promo vouchers (like Metrodeal) online as many skin clinics offer this with great prices.

That's it. If you plan on getting a Diamond Peel, I suggest that you choose a well known clinic, has a good reputation, and is supported by licensed dermatologists.
