“What’s the difference between Diamond Peel and Power Peel?”…
This question have been buggin’ out some of my readers and I myself didn’t really know the right answer until after I stumbled upon a Dermatologist, who happened to be a friend of mine and explained to me the differences between these treatments.
Since both procedures are under the scope of Microdermabrasion, she told me that both treatments work just exactly the same except for some minor differences…So…
What is a Diamond Peel?
Diamond Peel is simply known as a non-surgical exfoliation of the skin using a natural diamond-tipped wand with built-in vacuum to remove dead skin cells and rejuvenate the skin for a youthful and beautiful glow.
How does a Diamond Peel work?
Diamond Peel technically resurfaces the upper layer of the skin through the use of densely packed real diamonds which effectively removes dead cells and dirts through the aid of a powerful vacuum. Unlike the Power Peel, it does not use crystals for exfoliation, thus it eliminates the risks of having adverse effects of loose particles, irritation and skin reaction. It restores the integrity and texture of the skin with no downtimes at all.
Advantages of Diamond Peel?
- It is safe and effective without the need of cuts and needles.
- No pain or discomforts at all.
- No side effects such as swelling and burning.
- Absolutely no downtime so you can resume with your activities after the treatment.
Results after a Diamond Peel?
Just immediately after the Diamond Peel treatment:
- The skin may look slightly rosy.
- A smoother texture of the skin may be noticed.
- Marks and scars may become less visible.
- Skin is more even and fresh-looking
With additional treatment sessions, results may become more effective and noticeable. However, frequency may still vary depending upon the condition of your skin. Most Dermatologists would recommend 3 to 12 sessions spaced to one month apart. And since the procedure is very gentle, you can avail as many treatments as you want without any side effects.
What is a Power Peel?
Power peel is another type of Microdermabrasion which is known to deliver a powerful and deeper exfoliation process. Compared to a diamond peel, it uses ultra fine crystals called Corundum Oxide. Corundum is a form of Aluminium Oxide which contains trace amounts of Titanium, Iron, and Chromium. Because Corundum can scratch or cut almost all other minerals, it is commonly used as an abrasive or resurfacing tool.
How does a Power Peel work?
Power peel is also known as Particle Resurfacing Treatment. With the use of a crystal-tipped wand and a powerful vacuum, the skin is resurfaced and cleansed effectively with satisfying results. It is commonly recommended for patients with deeper scars and skin deformities since crystals can snugly fit in rough surfaces and irregularities of the skin.
Results after a Power Peel?
Just after the Power Peel treatment:
- Stretch marks and deep acne scars may become less obvious.
- Fine lines and age blemishes may diminish.
- May show an instant glowing peel.
- Finer and smoother skin surface.
Keep in mind that skin improvement continues throughout your treatment program.
Advantages of Power Peel?
- Quicker procedure compared to diamond peel, treatment may only last for 10 to 30 minutes.
- Smoother and Finer skin with pinkish glow.
- No pain or discomfort.
- No downtime and side effects.
The number of treatments recommended for optimum results is between 3-12 sessions. Treatments are spaced one month apart to provide time for the new skin cells to develop.

tanong ko lang nakakatanggal ba ng acne scars ang power peel?..ilan sessions yun madalas?
Hi mark! it really depends sa type ng scars mo pero it can help minimize superficial scars na hindi ganun kasevere…the number of sessions would also depend on the type of skin and scar that you have…Some other derma docs would even use a combination of treatment, like power peel plus fraxel…depende sa diskarte nila…paconsult ka muna..ingat po!
Hi sasa! whole body peeling? I am not really sure about sa price…it really depends…And it depends on your doc, if it’s really recommended for you…some docs would recommend scrubs with bleach for the entire body to even out the skin color…chemical peels may be done, pero yung pinaka mild lang…and usually sa mga insensitive areas ng skin lang yun gagawin…importante talaga mag paconsult ka muna for proper advice po…for facial blackheads and whiteheads naman- only facial exctraction can remove them…usually naman may antibiotic na nilalagay after ng facial…and syempre po wag nyu hahahwakan ang face after facial kasi nagrerecover pa yan…namamaga pa and prone sa cross infection..kaya para maiwasan ang pimples- wag butingtingin ang mukha…hehehe! ingat po!
Hello, Ask ko lang sana if normal ba na hindi mamalat ang mukha mo a few days after the powerpeel session? Nagpapowerpeel kasi ako sa flawless 3 days ago and until now hindi pa ako namamalat… Kelangan bang magpeel pa ulit ang skin mo? Thanks…
Hi eric! pag nano power peel po kasi, hindi talaga literal na namamalat ang mukha…the peeling process occurs during the procedure, meaning just after the procedure,natanggal na ang mga dead skin at naresurface na ang mga uneven surfaces…usually it is recommended to have succeeding treatments after your first one for a more noticeable results….Ingat ka po!
Thanks Dave… really helpful.. . akala ko kasi nasayang lang binayad ko…
Ask ko lang rin if necessary bang every 2 weeks kelangang magpapeel? hehe… mejo steep kasi ang price eh… ok lng rin ba if platinum peel session ang isunod a few weeks after the powerpeel?
HI eric! after 2 weeks? i don’t think that’s recommended..If you would ask me, i would do that every month or at least every 4-6 weeks..mailkli masyado ang 2 weeks, you should give time for your skin to recover…pero to be sure, you can consukt your your dermatologist…balitaan moko. ingat ka!
Eow kuya magkanoh po ba mag pa treatment ng scar pimple? Diba with laser pa ean? Para matakut aku eh..
Paki msge n lang po sa fb q kung pwede, ngayon q lang navisite this page…^_^
Hi Dave, until when po yung promo ng power peel sa flawless? Thanks
ung power peel nkk.remove b ng cut mark?
hi dave.. very helpful itong blog mo. mdami ako nakuhang ideya..btw tulad ng iba problema ko din ang pimple scars, nag undergo pimple treatment nako last year sa dermclinic pro di ko ntapos ang session ko dun. mgnda nmn ang resulta (for 2 sessions) di na ko tinubuan ng pimple dun sa mga part na naprick pero as a girl normal lang samin na mgkapimple lalo pag drating ang monthly period. as of now my mga pimple ako sa chin pero hindi grabe. ask ko lng kung mag a undergo pimple treatment pa ba ko? at paano ang interval nun? pagagalingin muna ang mga pimple bgo bumalik for power peel session? parang ang gastos nmn sa gamot nun. gamot para sa pimple at pagkatpos gamot sa power peel? or pwede na pag sabayin un? recommend kasi sakin ng dermstrata na mg power peel ako? but do i really have to see a doctor before treatment? prang wala yatang dermatologist sa dermstrata? ano po kayang pwedeng gawin at mai aadvise niyo sakin. salamat po.
HI chelsea! usually po kasi before you get yourself facial procedures, kelangan muna itreat ang facial infections. and pimples are considered infection.. Now, if you undergo those procedures, the tendency is to spread the infection to other areas of the face,,\ that’s why it is really recommended na itreat muna ang pimples before going through those procedures…pag hindi na inflamed ang pimples or pag dry na, then that’s the time na mag power peel ka na…yes i suggest that you see a dermatologist para matulngan ka or mabigyan ka ng gamot to treat your pimples muna…try mo po sa mga dermatologist talaga yung may mga clinic talaga? sa mga mall meron na sila clinicas like sa healthway, or sa medical city clinic…sa dermclinic may derma doc din sila dun…ingat po!

Hi! Kuya dave! Ask ko lng po if nakakatanggal ng dark eye circles ang diamond or power peel? And mag kanu po yung both treatment? At saan pinakamaganda at the same time pinakamurang mag patreatment?? Hehe thanks po!
hmm. anong klase po ba ng peel or procedure ang pwede if ang concern mo ay ung legs. gusto ko po kase na pumuti ung knees ko at tsaka ung alak-alakan. kahit gumamit na ako ng kalamansi at mgscrub ng kng anu man eh di pa rin sya pumuti.thank you.
hi narsasi! you can try chemical peels like tretinoin peel…mejo mild lang yun…or bleaching creams may also work…you need to do it in sessions to see results…good luck!
Hi Sir Dave, This a very informative website.. Thanks for sharing
I just had an easy peel last saturday medyo deep kasi ang pimple scars ko sa pisngi. Is it normal na may burns and talagang obvious ang peeling? I had to go to work on weekdays kasi and talagang dyahe yung pamamalat.
Wala ba talagang obvious peeling etong diamond/power peel? Easy peel kasi yung sinuggest nung dermatologist ng flawless sa MOA eh. Gusto ko itry yung ibang procedures nila on my next visit pero yung wala sanang downtime and obvious peeling and to think mas mura ang diamond/power peel sa easy peel. Hope you can give me an advice. Thanks a lot
P.S. They are also suggesting me to get the iSkin line worth 9k. Is this line really effective inspite of the cost? Can you suggest a much cheaper alternative?
Another thing, gaano katagal yung peeling process nito? Sabi kasi nung derma soap lang daw ang gamitin ko for 5 days.
Parang gusto ko ng gamitin yung wash ko na may beads para bumilis yung peeling haha..
Thanks again
Hi Dave! Thanks for the info, it motivates me to experienced NANO POWER PEEL @ FF last Sept. 10. Satisfied ako sa result though di talaga xa magiging perfectly flawless afer 1 session lang lalo na kung rough ang face but at least may improvements . Di rin ako maxado na trauma sa pricking compare to other derma clinic na kulang na lang tumagos sa mukha ko yung instrument nila. mejo rosy cheeks ako now hehe…
