Microdermabrasion & Oxybrasion

Diamond microdermabrasion and oxybrasion are non-invasive exfoliation methods widely used in esthetic cosmetology to improve skin condition. These treatments are performed as standalone procedures or as preparatory steps before advanced skincare therapies.

Diamond microdermabrasion is a mechanical exfoliation technique based on controlled removal of the stratum corneum using diamond-tipped handpieces. The treatment improves skin texture, supports regenerative processes, smooths fine lines, and helps reduce post-acne scarring and hyperpigmentation.

Oxybrasion, also known as oxygen–water peeling, is a non-invasive skin cleansing and revitalization method that uses a stream of oxygen and saline solution. The procedure removes dead epidermal cells, oxygenates and hydrates the skin, stimulates microcirculation, and restores freshness and radiance, particularly in sensitive, vascular, and fatigued skin types.

This lesson includes theoretical content, instructional videos, and step-by-step guidance, preparing participants to consciously select the appropriate exfoliation method based on skin condition, indications, and contraindications.
