Microdermabrasion
Effective and affordable - this tried and true skin exfoliating treatment is great to buff and brighten or, more commonly, can be combined with a facial or chemical peel to assist and enhance results.
the popular add-on for any facial & standalone treatment
Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion is a deep exfoliation for the skin. Using various techniques this treatment buffs and scrapes away the upper most layers of dead skin cells on the face, neck, chest or back. A comfortable sandpaper-like sensation is felt while a pink rosy glow is produced. With no downtime associated with microdermabrasion, it is the perfect treatment to get before a special event or going out for the evening. Microdermabrasion is a popular standalone treatment and often our Denver clients request this as an add-on with a facial. DLS uses the Diamondtome Wand Microdermabrasion.

diamond vs. crystal microdermabrasion
Not all microdermabrasion techniques are the same
Variations of microdermabrasion devices are available — the diamond tip version is particle-free and is the version used at DLS, specifically the DiamondTome device.
Similar to a face scrub, both microdermabrasion techniques are designed to manually exfoliate the surface of skin but their methods of action are different.
What is Diamond Microdermabrasion?
Diamond tip microdermabrasion manually exfoliates the skin using either a fine, medium, or coarse diamond encrusted wand that is cylindrical in shape and hollow in the center. Attached to a vacuum via a hose, the wand grips the skin and glides over the face, neck, chest, or back. It loosens and lifts dead skin cells sucking them into a HEPA filter for a clean finish.
Benefits: The variation in wand sizes and adjustable vacuum pressure allows the technician to customize a microdermabrasion treatment based skin type and body area. For instance, a coarse wand may be used for thick, oily skin types while the vacuum pressure can be decreased over delicate areas such as around the eyes or on the neck.
What is Crystal Microdermabrasion?
Crystal microdermabrasion technology was the first skin exfoliating treatment of its kind available on the market. This version propels crystals onto the face similar to “sandblasting” to abrade or scrape the skin. A vacuum attachment helps remove the crystals and dead skin, but there is residue left over that is brushed away.
Drawbacks: While this technique was very effective for its time, it comes with limitations. These limitations include:
- not being able to reach the small crevices on the face
- difficulty vacuuming crystals off of the skin
- the power of the treatment is controlled by the machine (as opposed to the technician)
- some people accidentally ingest crystals and often get crystals in the nooks and crannys of the nose and ears
Diamond Microdermabrasion VS. Crystal Microdermabrasion
There are two different types of Microdermabrasion treatments – the crystal wand and the diamond wand. The crystal version was the first available on the market and it came out in the 90’s.
This technology shoots crystals onto the face to abrade the skin. Some people would describe it as “sandblasting” the skin. These crystals are then brushed and vacuumed away. While this technique was very effective for its time, it comes with limitations. These limitations include not being able to reach the small crevices on the face, difficulty vacuuming crystals off of the skin, the power of the treatment is controlled by the machine (as opposed to the technician) and some people accidentally ingest crystals.
Using a diamond wand is the more modern version of Microdermabrasion. This method is more analogous to sandpaper on the skin versus the sandblasting technique of the crystal wand. The vacuum on the diamond wand is built in and has a HEPA filter so it is a much more sanitary and the power of the wand is controlled by esthetician – not the machine. This control not only means there is less risk of a treatment being too harsh on delicate skin but also that the treatment can be customized depending on the client’s skin care goals.
Bonus: The diamond wand is especially helpful for people looking for effective acne treatments!

I go to Denver Laser Solutions for Botox and laser hair removal and all the girls are amazing. I usually see Mara, she is so thorough and welcoming and makes me feel so comfortable. The last time I went, she did my Botox and it’s literally the BEST job I’ve ever had. I’m very picky with my face, and this is the only place I trust for my injectables. I recommend to all my friends and family.
