Which term describes a microdermabrasion option that uses crystals for abrasion?

• A. Crystal Microdermabrasion
• B. Diamond-tip Microdermabrasion
• C. Ultrasonic Microdermabrasion
• D. Laser-assisted Microdermabrasion

Answer: (A)

Crystal microdermabrasion is defined by using a stream of fine crystals to abrasive the skin's surface, with suction removing the crystals and exfoliated cells. The crystals (often aluminum oxide or sodium bicarbonate) are the abrasive medium, which is what sets this method apart. The other options use different technologies—diamond-tip relies on a diamond-coated wand, ultrasonic uses ultrasonic energy, and laser-assisted uses laser energy—so they don’t describe a crystal-based abrasion.
