This type of microdermabrasion is performed using a hand-held diamond tip device that gently removes dead skin cells. In this process, the sucked dead cells clean the surface of the skin. Diamond tip microdermabrasion is more suitable for operation on more sensitive areas of the face, such as around the eyes as well as sensitive skin.

At this stage, the cells and crystals used on the surface of the skin are guided into the inner chamber of the device by a sucker located at the top of the device, ie peeling and cleaning of the skin is performed simultaneously by two channels located at the top of the device. No crystals used in the device They do not damage the skin and even by increasing blood flow to the skin, they activate fibroblast cells and as a result, they repair and refresh the skin.
