Microdermabrasion
Regular crystal MDA uses high-speed flow of aluminum oxide crystals onto the skin with chances of these tiny crystal particles going into the eyes, nose or mouth thus clogging your pores. Another type of microdermabrasion uses sodium bicarbonate crystals which are a lot softer but less effective.
NSC Diamond Peel Microdermabrasion is a sophisticated and technologically advanced microdermabrasion system which replaces the micro-crystal flow with diamond tipped wands made of natural crushed diamond chips. With this, sensitive areas closer to the eyes and mouth can be abraded more accurately without risk of stray crystals causing damage to the skin. These diamond tipped wands will polish the uneven skin and remove dead cells, which are then vacuumed back into a waste filter. Compared to aluminum oxide crystal, NSC Microdermabrasion with its diamond tipped wands is as effective and more comfortable but less invasive and will not irritate the skin.
