Portable hydrodermabrasion

Types of portable hydrodermabrasion

A portable hydrodermabrasion machine is a skincare device that deep cleans the skin. It uses a diamond tip or hydro suction to remove dead skin cells and impurities. There are two main types of portable hydrodermabrasion devices. They are:

• Suction type

  These portable hydrodermabrasion machines use vacuum pressure to remove debris from the skin and promote blood circulation. They come with different suction heads to deal with specific skin concerns. For instance, a silicone head is more suitable for sensitive skin. Using suction type hydrodermabrasion provides a deep cleaning that manual cleansing cannot achieve. It removes blackheads, whiteheads, and clogged pores.

• Diamond tip type

  Diamond tip portable hydrodermabrasion machines use a diamond-encrusted wand to exfoliate the skin. It comes with various tips with different textures and levels of coarseness. The wand sweeps over the skin, scraping off dead cells and debris, which are then collected in a vacuum. This type of hydrodermabrasion is often used in professional settings. However, there are home-use diamond tip hydrodermabrasion devices. It helps to achieve smoother, clearer, and more radiant skin.

• Combination type

  As the name implies, this portable hydrodermabrasion combines both diamond tip and hydra facial technology. It uses the wand with diamond tips to exfoliate the skin manually and then vacuum it to remove the dead cells. The process is followed by using a second wand with probes to inject various serum into the skin. The combination type offers deep cleansing and nourishes the skin with different cosmetic chemicals.

How to choose portable hydrodermabrasions

When looking to choose a portable hydrodermabrasion machine, it's essential to understand what to look out for and what factors can influence the decision. Here are some of them:

• Hydrodermabrasion tips

  The different kinds of tips used in hydrodermabrasion are diamond, glycolic acid, and ultrasonic. Each has unique characteristics and benefits. Diamond tips are known for their deep exfoliation and are often used for more severe skin concerns. They are also reusable and more environmentally friendly. Glycolic acid tips use glycolic acid to exfoliate dead skin cells, but they are single-use and not as environmentally friendly. Ultrasonic tips use high-frequency vibrations to remove dead skin cells, and they are also single-use. Depending on the target market and the buyers' needs, the different kinds of tips can be marketed as having unique benefits and characteristics.

• Portability and ease of use

  Consider the size and weight of the machine, as well as its build quality and durability. Look for machines that are compact and lightweight, making them easy to carry around. Check the power source, which could be battery or electric, and consider the operating time if it is battery-powered. It is also essential to check the user manual to see if it is easy to understand and if the machine is easy to operate. Some models have a self-diagnostic feature that makes them easy to use. Also, check the warranty period and after-sales service of the manufacturer.

• Functions and features

  Check the functions and features of the machine to see if they are adequate. Some basic functions include suction power, water spray, and LED light therapy. Advanced models may have additional features like oxygen infusion, ultrasound, and RF. Checking the functions and features can help determine if the machine is suitable for professional or home use.

• Customer reviews

  Look for machines with good customer reviews. The reviews provide valuable information about the product that may not be captured in the specifications. Customers' feedback can help determine the pros and cons of the machine, which can help in decision-making. Also, check the reputation of the manufacturer or brand, which can help build confidence in the buyers.

How to use, install & product safety

• How to use portable hydrodermabrasion machines

  Using a portable hydrodermabrasion facial machine is pretty simple. Following the step-by-step guide below ensures clients get the best results from the treatment.

  • Step 1 - cleanse

    Start by cleansing the face to remove any makeup and oil build-up. This ensures that dirt does not interfere with the treatment process and helps get better results.

  • Step 2 - prepare the machine

    Prepare the machine by choosing the desired handpiece and plugging it into the portable hydrodermabrasion machine. Set the desired ultrasonic, vacuum pressure, and LED lights. Put the required amount of serum in the portable bottle. Portable hydrodermabrasion machines have different serum requirements. Check the user's manual to know the needed serum for the specific machine.

  • Step 3 - start treatment

    Begin the treatment by sweeping the handpiece on the face in a horizontal, vertical, and diagonal direction. Ensure the serum is dispensed on the cotton pad while vacuuming the face. Focus on areas with fine lines, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, and oily skin. This treatment can be done for 30 minutes daily.

  • Step 4 - finish up

    After the treatment, apply LED light therapy to the face. Choose a light setting based on the treatment goal and skin concern. For example, red light helps diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, while green light treats hyperpigmentation.

• Installation

  A portable hydrodermabrasion machine is easy to install and use. No installation is required since it's a plug-and-use model. There are also detailed user manuals and guides on using different hydrodermabrasion machine features and settings.

• Product safety

  A portable hydrodermabrasion facial machine is a safe skincare treatment. The risk of skin damage is minimal compared to traditional dermabrasion, which uses sharp tools.

It contains natural ingredients that cater to different skin needs and concerns. The sterile saline solution also ensures skin safety. The procedure is non-invasive and does not require any hospital or clinic visits. Clients can do the treatment from the comfort of their homes. The client and aesthetician (if used) are at a lower risk during the treatment process. No sharp tools or chemicals are used.
