Diamond Peel During Period?

If you're wondering if it's okay to get a diamond peel treatment when you have a period, the answer is NO.

Take it from me, I speak from experience.

My fourth session for diamond peeling fell on a day during my period. I searched around if it's okay to have the treatment during one's period. Although a lot have said that one should not have it during their period, there were some who said it was okay. It had been 3 weeks since my last treatment and I had been itching to have the treatment, so I went and had it.

During the whole treatment, I realized that it was a mistake that I went that day. My tolerance for pain was low. My skin was extra sensitive. Each time the wand touched my skin, I felt serious pain. I felt worry from my facialist. (I didn't tell her I was in the middle of my period.) When I got home, I understood why. There were bruises on my face on some areas that were touched by the wand.

Why don't I recommend getting a diamond peel treatment during your period?

  1. Your skin becomes extra sensitive to the pain.
  2. Your blood easily clots during your period so you will get bruises easily.
However, if you still want to go for it despite my warnings, go ahead. If you don't mind the extra sensitivity or if you don't suffer from that during your period, as well as if you don't bruise easily during your period, then go ahead. But what's a few more days' wait?

Diamond Peel Effects

Initial Effects


After my first session, I felt my skin way cleaner than it used to. My skin no longer felt grainy. That night, my pores really looked tight. They looked diminished. I get this effect every time I had a session.

On the first few days after my first session, I had some tiny breakouts. However, they're not the usual big pimples that I had before. This is usually happens on the first week after a session. This gets better though on the next week.

I noticed that you will appreciate more the effects of diamond peel a week after you had your session. You get clearer skin and you don't have breakouts anymore. I guess this is why experts advise not to have a facial treatment a week before a special occasion such as a wedding. Facials should be done at least 2 weeks before.

Long Term Effects


Since I had a diamond peel treatment, I never had bad breakouts again. I never had large pimples anymore. My skin pores have minimized. And my face doesn't feel grainy anymore.

Another noticeable effect is that my eye wrinkles have diminished. Before treatment, I had these nasty lines around my eyes when I smile. But since I had the treatment, I noticed that they have greatly diminished.

The best long-term effect? My acne scars have shallowed. I have only had 8 treatments so far, but the effects are very visible.  I hope to get a picture soon so I can show you how much better my facial scars have become.

Right now I am saving up for my next 6 sessions. I availed the 7 sessions promo once more but I have only paid half of it during my last visit. I can't wait to see the effects after 14 sessions. I know it will be great!
