Q & A

---

 As of now, KDiamondEsthetics is a client education brand I'm actively building to empower individuals with expert skincare knowledge and guidance. Currently, I’m working as a Master Esthetician at a respected Med Spa in Bellevue, where I offer all the services listed on the services page.

This role is allowing me to gain hands-on experience with advanced treatments and deepen my expertise. My goal is to eventually launch KDiamondEsthetics as a fully operational med spa, bringing together client education, results-driven treatments, and personalized care under one brand.

At the med spa I work at in Bellevue, WA, we use the Candela GentleMax Pro Plus — part of the Gentle Pro Series, which is considered the gold standard in laser hair removal technology.

These lasers use dual wavelengths:

• Alexandrite (755 nm): Ideal for lighter skin tones and finer hair
   
• Nd:YAG (1064 nm): Safely treats darker skin tones and coarser hair
   

The GentleMax Pro Plus delivers high-speed, powerful treatments with short pulse durations and multiple spot sizes for fast, effective results across a wide range of skin types.

The laser works through selective photo thermolysis, where light energy is absorbed by the melanin in the hair follicle and converted to heat, damaging the follicle and reducing future hair growth — all while keeping the surrounding skin protected.

To enhance comfort and safety, the system includes a Dynamic Cooling Device (DCD™), which sprays a burst of cooling cryogen onto the skin with each laser pulse.

This advanced technology offers proven, high-performance results, making it a trusted option in both clinical and aesthetic settings for safe, effective, and comfortable hair removal.

  At KDiamondEsthetics, client comfort is always a top priority — both physically and emotionally. I strive to create a welcoming, safe, and supportive environment where every client feels heard, respected, and fully cared for.

During laser hair removal treatments, I use advanced technology like the Candela GentleMax Pro Plus, which features a built-in Dynamic Cooling Device (DCD™) that sprays a burst of cooling cryogen before each laser pulse. This helps minimize discomfort while protecting the skin. I also clearly communicate each step of the process and adjust settings based on your comfort level and skin type.

For facials and skin-boosting treatments, I take the time to listen to your concerns, explain each step in detail, and ensure you’re comfortable throughout the service. Whether it’s adjusting pressure during massage, selecting calming ingredients for sensitive skin, or providing a peaceful, relaxing space — every element is tailored to support your comfort and care.

From your initial consultation to post-treatment follow-up, I’m here to make sure your experience is not only effective but also enjoyable.

 To maintain the best results after your facial, be gentle with your skin for the next 24–48 hours—avoid harsh exfoliants, heat, and heavy makeup. Keep your skin hydrated, use SPF daily, and follow the home care routine recommended during your visit.

For long-term, glowing results, it's best to schedule facials every 4 weeks. Consistent treatments help address skin concerns more effectively and support your skin’s natural renewal cycle.

  Facials: Most clients notice an immediate boost in hydration and glow after just one facial. For lasting improvements in texture, tone, and specific concerns, a series of 4–6 monthly facials is recommended.
 

Chemical Peels: Depending on the peel strength and skin concerns, results like smoother texture and brighter tone can appear after 1–3 sessions. For deeper issues like acne scars or hyperpigmentation, 4–6 treatments spaced 3–4 weeks apart are often needed.
 

Microneedling: Noticeable improvements in skin texture and firmness typically emerge after 2–3 sessions. For optimal results with acne scarring or aging skin, 4–6 treatments spaced about 4–6 weeks apart provide the best outcome.
 

LED Light Therapy: Many clients see reduced redness, inflammation, and improved skin clarity within 1–3 sessions. For consistent long-term benefits, especially for acne or aging skin, weekly sessions for 6–8 weeks are ideal.
 

High Frequency Treatment: Immediate improvements in skin clarity and reduced inflammation can often be seen after a single session. For sustained results, especially for acne or oily skin, a series of 4–6 weekly treatments is recommended.
 

Each person’s skin is unique, so during a skin consultation, I can provide a personalized treatment plan based on your skin’s needs and goals.

 Skin sensitivity can be caused by a variety of factors, including a compromised skin barrier, overuse of active ingredients, allergies, environmental stressors, or underlying skin conditions like rosacea or eczema. Hormonal changes and even stress can also contribute to increased sensitivity.

However, the exact cause can vary greatly depending on your unique skin type, lifestyle, and current skincare routine.

To truly understand what's triggering your sensitivity and how to treat it effectively, I recommend booking a skin consultation. This allows me to assess your skin in person and provide personalized treatment and product recommendations tailored to your concerns.

Breakouts can be triggered by many factors, including hormonal changes, clogged pores, stress, diet, improper skincare products, or an unbalanced skin barrier. Even things like not cleansing properly, dirty pillowcases, or touching your face can contribute.

That said, the root cause of acne varies from person to person depending on your skin type, lifestyle, and current routine.

To accurately determine what's causing your breakouts and how to treat them effectively, I recommend booking a skin consultation. This allows me to examine your skin and provide the best personalized treatment and product plan to help you achieve clearer, healthier skin.
