How Microdermabrasion Tips & Filters Work

Hi, my name is Lillian, I am with Salon of Scottsdale in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and on behalf of ExpertVillage.com, I am here to show you today Microdermabrasion tips, filters and hepa filter. Just a little bit more detailed information. For each treatment we attach a clean sterilized diamond tone tip, these tips come in fine, medium, coarse and extra coarse depending on the type of treatment that the patient is requiring at the time. What you do is you put the tip, attach the tip onto the filter and it is ready to go. Before though you start the treatment, there is a hepa filter located in the back of the machine, the tube is on the other end of the hepa filter and you remove the tip. You get a little disc, which is called a mini filter, get it with tweezers and insert it into the filter. Then all that you do is pop that back on, stick the filter back in the back of the machine and you are ready to go. At the end of the treatment whenever you turn the machine off and you have completed the treatment, you take the filter out, you stick the tweezers back in and remove the filter and you can actually see the dead skin that has come off during treatment. The old machines use to have aluminum oxide crystals that would shoot onto your face and a vacuum would suck up the leftover crystals and the dead skin. They have kind of done away with that because of the controversy of the aluminum and that is why they have gone to the crystal free treatment.
