@paulinagaloostianHow Did You Prepare? According to Diamond, this procedure is great for all skin types. "The reason this procedure is so popular is because it's good for everybody. I don't think I've seen somebody who's not a good candidate for it," he explains. "It's good for young people who are trying to maximize their skin texture and tone, and it's good to help settle down breakouts and acne flare-ups, which a lot of young people deal with. It's great for the aging population, too, because it addresses fine lines and improves skin elasticity and collagen production, which is what the aging face really needs to look its best."
Since this facial includes a laser component, the first step was a consultation with Diamond to determine which laser would be best for my skin and also to assess the areas of my face that were showing any signs of aging.
Before we got started, Diamond applied a topical numbing cream to my face for about 30 minutes to make sure the entire process was pain-free.
We decided to go with the Clear + Brilliant laser, which Diamond says helps to resurface and exfoliate the skin.
After drawing the patient's blood, Diamond puts it through a centrifuge, which separates the plasma cells. Those cells are then injected into the face, which Diamond says stimulates collagen production, smooths fine lines and wrinkles, and aids the skin's ability to heal itself. This was the most uncomfortable part of the procedure.

Diamond says that the tiny punctures created by the micro-needling device also stimulate the production of collagen and elastin in the skin, in addition to improving the appearance of acne scars.
This soothing mask uses micronized collagen molecules to penetrate deep into the skin, which Diamond says ensures the best possible results.
