Microdermabrasion using the diamond tips is known as the diamond tip microdermabrasion. This is very different than the microdermabrasion which is traditionally done using the aluminum oxide crystals. In these diamonds tipped exfoliation machines there is a diamond tip which is used for the abrasion of the skin layer to remove off the dead skin cells.
Now in the microdermabrasion machines the aluminum oxide crystals are blasted against the skin and then these would help get the skin removed using a vacuum machine. Now what happens is that in most cases since there is this big blast of crystals chance are that it can come in contact with your eyes or it can go into your ears causing the soreness or the redness or it can even in some cause damage to the skin. Sore throats, itchy eyes, headaches are the most common things that have been reported by many people. People who have sensitive skin generally complain about all these issues and hence there was this need to have something that can be used without any worries.
A diamond tip is the answer. You will say that diamond is such a hard substance the how can it be used for the skin abrasion. Thousand of diamond particles are uniformly sized so that they fit on top of a holder to represent a diamond tip.
This type of diamond microdermabrasion is safer and less costly and also it requires less of maintenance. The reason being the tip can be cleaned and reused as opposed to the crystals which need to be ordered every now and then.
Now this tip can be made up of natural diamonds or the synthetic diamonds. The natural diamonds are more costly and hence most of the times the synthetic diamonds are used.
Most of the diamond tip microdermabrasion systems come equipped with the 2-10 tips which are used for various skins ranging from normal skin to coarse skin to sensitive skin.
