CRYSTAL-FREE TIP PROTOCOL
Prior to beginning your crystal free microdermabrasion, please make sure you have
properly implemented this system to your microdermabrader.
Contents of Crystal-Free Kit
• 1 Crystal-Free Tip Handpiece
• 1 Crystal-Free Reusable Waste Removal Tube
• 10 Massage Disposable Crystal-Free Tips
• 10 Coarse Disposable Crystal-Free Tips
• 10 Medium Disposable Crystal-Free Tips
• 10 Fine Disposable Crystal-Free Tips
Attaching the Tubing, Tips & Handpiece
• Remove the dual tubing from the Crystal Capsule
™
that is designed for crystal
use (fig. 12).
• Insert the waste removal tube designed for use with the crystal-free tips onto
the
waste port
of the Crystal Capsule
™
(fig. 13).
• Insert the autoclavable crystal-free tip handpiece onto the tubing (fig. 14).
• Choose the tip for patient’s skin type and slide onto the handpiece (fig. 15).
• Turn on the machine and test the pressure with your finger. The gauge should
read about 15 to begin on the face (fig. 16). Turn down to 10 for eyes and neck
area (fig. 17).
Performing the Procedure
• Start by cleansing the skin with Chamomile Cleanser.
• The skin must be completely dry before the procedure is conducted.
• The treatment is easier if the procedure is completed on one side of the face
and then repeated on the other side.
• Hold the skin taut and begin the treatment in the middle of the forehead just
above the nose.
• Run the handpiece along the forehead and above the eyebrow, stopping at the
temple.
• Lift the handpiece and return to the area where you started the procedure (ask
the patient if they are comfortable (either continue the treatment or adjust the
suction level accordingly).
• Repeat this action until you have covered that half of the forehead. Then repeat
this action in three different directions.
• Continue from the temples down the side of the face and cheek area. Again,
repeat this motion in three different directions.
• Sweep across the cheeks to the nose (avoiding the under eye area). The nose
can be a difficult area to treat, this may take practice. Repeat in three different
directions.
• Next, continue with the upper lip area, the chin and any remaining areas on
the side of the face. Repeat in three different directions.
• Repeat above steps on the opposite side of the face.
• Lower the suction to about level 10 and perform the treatment on the neck.
• Run the handpiece in an upward motion, then pull and lift outward toward the
ears. Two passes are sufficient to this area.
• Repeat under the eye, including outer area and crows’ feet. This should be
performed in short, quick strokes to insure patient comfort.
• The lips can now be treated in the same manner. Always hold the lips taut and
use short, quick stokes. Be sure to work the Vermilion Border, reducing fine
lines and leaving the lips refreshed and full.
