We offer a variety of three crystal sizes that allow you to customize your treatment for the needs of your
patient.
Normal #12
Developed for all skin types. Great for general polishing of the skin. Also used for sensitive skin and older, thin skinned
patients that bruise easily.
Aggressive #10
Used on most skin types except for sensitive skin. You can start the patient with
NORMAL #12
and increase to
AG-
GRESSIVE #10
as needed. Provides a slightly deeper abrasion than the Normal #12 and is the most commonly used
of the three crystals.
Fast Cut #9
The most abrasive of the three crystals offered. Used on thick, oily skin types, acne scarring, stretch marks, scar revi
-
sion and other areas requiring deeper abrasion. Prior to the procedure, and evaluation of the skin will determine which
crystal size is more beneficial. When you are unsure how the patient will tolerate the treatment, always start with the
NORMAL #12
crystals.
