Microdermabrasion & Oxybrasion

Lesson overview

This lesson covers two mechanical exfoliation techniques used in professional practice: diamond microdermabrasion and oxybrasion. Both procedures are presented as tools with different levels of intensity, applied to smooth skin texture, improve skin function, and prepare the skin for subsequent stages of treatment.

The content focuses on the mechanisms of action of both methods, control of treatment intensity, and informed selection of the appropriate technique based on the therapeutic goal.

What you will learn – theory

1. the role of mechanical exfoliation in professional cosmetology
2. differences between diamond microdermabrasion and oxybrasion
3. the mechanism of action of diamond microdermabrasion on the skin surface
4. the mechanism of action of oxybrasion as a contact-free procedure
5. the influence of mechanical stimulus intensity on skin response
6. the role of exfoliation in skin smoothing and revitalization
7. control of vacuum pressure and contact intensity in microdermabrasion
8. the significance of oxygen flow and saline solution in oxybrasion
9. monitoring skin response during exfoliation
10. treatment outcomes of both methods
11. the use of mechanical exfoliation as a preparatory procedure
12. the role of microdermabrasion and oxybrasion in combined treatment protocols

What you will learn – practice

1. organizing a mechanical exfoliation treatment in professional practice
2. selecting the appropriate technique based on the treatment objective
3. proper handling of the diamond tip
4. controlling the intensity of microdermabrasion
5. performing diamond microdermabrasion step by step
6. proper use of oxygen flow in oxybrasion
7. controlling nozzle distance and working pace
8. performing oxybrasion step by step
9. completing the procedure and calming the skin

What you gain from this lesson

1. the ability to consciously select a mechanical exfoliation method
2. control over treatment intensity based on skin needs
3. a clearer understanding of the differences between contact and contact-free exfoliation
4. readiness to combine microdermabrasion and oxybrasion with other treatments
5. a structured workflow for cleansing and exfoliation procedures
