Microdermabrasion Machines - They work and help in removing the dead skin cells from the top layer of the skin and concentrating on improving the various skin concerns such as wrinkles, age spots, acne, scarring, melasma, sun-tan and more. With this process, the skin cell activity is restored and which further improves the complexion of the skin.

There are two types of microdermabrasion machines one is Crystal microdermabrasion machine which blasts ultra-fine crystals particles from the machine using a hand-operated wand onto the skin.
Another is the Diamond-tip microdermabrasion machine which is diamond-tipped and uses a wand which directly abrades the skin with it and improves its appearance.

2. Exfoliating Brush - This brush is handheld and is used to exfoliate the skin and remove all the dead cells from the skin to cleanse it. These brushes are gentle on the skin, and they don't harbour bacteria and damage skin.

3. Facial Steamer - This is a valuable tool for an Esthetician as these machines blow a unique ozone variety of warm steam onto the skin of a person and which helps the skin in many ways:
▪ It stimulates blood flow
▪ It moisturizes the outermost layer of the skin
▪ It softens follicles making the removing of blackheads and whiteheads easy
▪ It makes the skin relaxed
▪ It activates a few products and spreads them over the skin to work well.
Moreover, you can control the direction, type and intensity of steam required as per your treatment.

4. Magnification Lamp - Also termed as mag lamps it is the most common tool which magnifies the skin vertically and horizontally to observe the skin issues minutely. Not only this, but it also protects the Esthetician from any cellular fluid coming in contact with their eyes and skin.

5. Ultrasonic Scrubber - It is also known as ultrasonic spatulas which use ultrasonic sound waves - tens of thousands of vibrations per second -helpful in removing away dead skin, blackheads and whiteheads gently and effectively.
It works well with people having sensitive skin or severe skin diseases.
