How the treatment works
Diamond microdermabrasion uses a diamond‑tipped wand to mechanically abrade the skin’s outermost layer, loosening dead cells and surface buildup. A built‑in vacuum simultaneously suctions away loosened material—dirt and shed cells—so no abrasive particles are left on the skin after treatment.
The visible and tactile effect depends on your baseline skin condition and the gentle intensity chosen for the session. Local factors such as Cambridge’s seasonal climate—cold, dry winters and humid summers—can influence how skin responds and how frequently you or your technician schedule follow‑up visits.
What to expect during appointment
Your appointment runs 60 MINUTES and begins with a short consultation to review sensitivity and goals. During treatment the technician passes the diamond wand across the face while the vacuum removes loosened cells; you may hear suction and feel light abrasion or warmth rather than sharp pain.
Sasha Salon and Spa’s Cambridge location near Harvard Square and transit routes makes this 60 MINUTES service convenient for students, university staff, commuters, and residents. Scheduling is arranged to fit into busy days and to coordinate with local commuting patterns and campus or work schedules.
Aftercare and short recovery
After treatment mild redness or sensitivity is common as the superficial layer settles; many clients notice a smoother feel immediately. Because surface debris is removed, skin can absorb products more readily, so we recommend gentle moisturizers and sun protection rather than strong actives for a few days.
No abrasive residue remains on the skin after the vacuuming step, which helps reduce post‑treatment cleanup. Most clients resume normal activities the same day; we plan follow‑up sessions and timing with consideration for Cambridge’s seasonal changes and each client’s daily routine.
