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?
