Microdermabrasion & Multifunction Facial Machines
The short answer
Facial machines are where training and after-sale support matter most — a powerful device is only useful if your team is trained and parts and help are available.
What is it, and what are the options?
Microdermabrasion machines exfoliate the skin using crystals or a diamond tip and suction. Multifunction facial machines combine several modalities — microdermabrasion, high-frequency, galvanic, LED, steam, hydrodermabrasion and more — in one unit, which saves space and money for general esthetics. Single-purpose or higher-end devices can offer sturdier build and stronger performance for a specific treatment. Training, consumables and technical support are as important as the hardware.
Who needs it?
General esthetics rooms often favor multifunction units for flexibility. Med-spas building a treatment around one signature service may prefer a dedicated, higher-performance device with strong support and training.
What to look at when buying
- Modalities
- Multifunction for flexibility; dedicated devices for a signature service.
- Training
- Confirm hands-on or virtual training is included, especially for clinical modalities.
- Support & parts
- US-based technical support and parts availability reduce downtime.
- Consumables
- Factor ongoing tip/filter costs into the true price of ownership.
Questions to ask before you buy
- Single-purpose or multifunction — and which modalities do you actually need?
- Is training included, and what does ongoing technical support look like?
- What consumables (tips, filters) are required, and what do they cost over time?
- What is the warranty, and how are repairs handled?
- Is the device appropriate for your scope of practice and state rules?

Microdermabrasion & facial machines: FAQs
Should I buy a multifunction facial machine or single-purpose devices?
Multifunction machines bundle several modalities into one unit, saving space and money for general esthetics. Single-purpose or higher-end devices can offer sturdier build and stronger performance for a signature treatment. Choose based on your service menu and how heavily each modality will be used.
Why does training and support matter so much for facial machines?
Facial machines are only valuable if your team can use them safely and the device stays running. Suppliers that include training and offer responsive, US-based technical support and parts (such as Glownar and Dermishop) reduce downtime and protect your investment.
Where can I buy microdermabrasion and facial machines?
