Which microdermabrasion device is also known as particle microdermabrasion?

• A. Crystal
• B. Diamond Tip
• C. Ultrasonic Device
• D. Laser Device

Answer: (A)

Particle microdermabrasion relies on blasting fine abrasive crystals onto the skin and then suctioning them away to remove dead cells. The crystal method uses those loose crystals (often aluminum oxide) as the exfoliating agent, which is exactly what defines particle microdermabrasion. The diamond-tip approach exfoliates with a solid diamond-coated wand, without loose particles, so it isn’t considered particle microdermabrasion. Ultrasonic and laser devices use vibrations or light energy for cleansing or resurfacing, not crystalline abrasives, so they don’t fit this label either.
