Diamond polishing, also known as microdermabrasion, is a skin rejuvenation and exfoliation treatment that mechanically exfoliates the dead skin layer or epidermis. Exfoliating the upper epidermal layer stimulates cell turnover and supports collagen remodelling. A diamond-tip handheld device gently scrapes away dead skin cells, leaving the skin smooth and shiny, then suctions debris from inside the pores for unclogged, clean skin. It is particularly effective for blackheads and comedones and helps remove superficial suntan. The treatment is often combined with chemical peels and lasers to intensify results, and it does not require anaesthesia because it is not painful or uncomfortable. Available at Dadu Medical Centre Vasant Vihar (South Delhi) and Rajouri Garden (West Delhi).
During puberty and adolescence, hormonal changes stimulate excess sebum production. Sebum mixes with dead skin cells and blocks hair follicles; this buildup eventually bursts and causes skin inflammation, with Propionibacterium acnes bacteria adding to the inflammatory response. This is why diamond polishing is often preferred for teenage acne, whiteheads, and blackheads.

The handpiece is moved smoothly with gentle pressure across the skin, using high velocity to push specially refined crystals across the surface and exfoliate the top layer.
The same device suctions away impurities, dead skin cells, and debris from the pores, shrinking oil-producing gland openings and clearing clogged pores.
With the top skin layer gently removed, anti-aging ingredients, acne-control actives, skin-repair serums, and peptides are applied and absorbed more deeply.
Visible improvement is often noticeable after the first session.
Multiple sessions build towards a smoother, brighter, more even-toned complexion over time.
What makes diamond polishing effective for acne specifically is the combination of physical exfoliation and pore-level suction in a single pass. The diamond tip removes the top layer of dead skin cells mechanically, while the built-in suction clears out clogged debris and excess oil sitting inside the pores, directly addressing the mechanism behind comedonal acne rather than just treating visible surface concerns. Because the top layer is gently thinned during the process, it also allows post-treatment serums and actives to penetrate more effectively. It can be paired with other treatments such as peels or lasers for compounded results.
It reduces excess oil production by removing clogged debris from pores and shrinking oil-producing gland openings. It directly manages acne, acne scars, whiteheads, and blackheads while minimizing enlarged pores.
No anaesthesia is required. The treatment is not painful or uncomfortable, making it especially suitable for teenagers or anyone who cannot undergo more intensive treatments such as chemical peels.
Yes. Diamond polishing is considered one of the best options for teenage acne, whiteheads, and blackheads because hormonal acne during puberty responds well to its gentle, non-invasive approach.
No. There is no downtime or recovery period after treatment, though proper aftercare such as moisturising and sunscreen use is essential for the best results.
Visible improvement is often noticeable after the first session. Multiple sessions build toward a smoother, brighter, more even-toned complexion over time.
Yes. It is suitable for all skin types and effective for blackheads, whiteheads, clogged pores, excess oil, photoaging, and superficial tanning.
