At the same time an applied vacuum draws away the exfoliated debris and stimulates the surface and underlying tissues.

The skin is cleansed and then prepared for treatment ensuring that it is dry.
The vacuum pressure and crystal flow for the treatment is selected according to the client’s needs, skin type and stage in treatment.The glass head is then passed over the contours of the area being treated.
