In the field of profession microdermabrasion, the machines that are utilized have 4 basic components that make each machine similar to one another. The four components that will be in every professional microdermabrasion machine include an air pump/vacuum unit that simultaneously spays the crystals while sucking the dead skin cells away, a tube or hose that then connects the wand with the vacuum/air pump, the wand itself as well as the oxide crystals for the procedure.

The vacuum/air pump will simultaneously spray the crystals through the tube or hose and then through the wand before making the return trip to through the vacuum portion of the vacuum /air pimp unit. In the wand the crystals are utilizes as a means to blast the dead skin cells so that they separate from the living skin cells. All the while, the microdermabrasion machine is simultaneously shooting the crystals out and sucking up the dead skin cells.

The next similar component found in every microdermabrasion machine is the tube, which may be two or three tubes in one. This first tube is responsible for delivering the oxide crystals while at the same time the second tube is used to remove the used oxide crystals and dead skin cells from the working area. The final tube which some machines may not have us usually reserved for various electrical and electronic components including power for a lighting system in the wand if there is one.

The final component in every microdermabrasion machine is the wand. This wand can be made of stainless steel or glass, the tip however is usually made of glass so as to allow the physician to see where they are working at. The remainder of the wand is usually some nozzles as well as valves especially in the case of the CO2 laser microdermabrasion machines.
