While the directed aluminum oxide crystals move over the skin, dead skin cells are dislodged during the process. A separate tube on the wand simply sucks the air along with the dead skin cells and crystals into the machine.
Diamond-tip microdermabrasion uses the same vacuum technology and hand-held wand, but there aren't any crystals moving through the tip. The dead skin cells are removed buy the diamond tip in this technique, and then vacuumed up the same way. Depending on the condition and type of the patient's skin, the specific type of tip is chosen. The discomfort is slightly increased for a patient using diamond-tips, however, crystal microdermabrasion has the same effect. For sensitive skin, this is the more beneficial option.
