Gray Foam Filters

Gray Foam Filters

The gray foam filters are a porous material for protection. Due to its spongy material, it can protect Blue LT Filter. Nue Skin microdermabrasion machines are a closed-loop system. The flow of crystal waste collects in the gray foam.

This is the first line of defense for the machine’s protection. After each treatment, the gray foam filter needs to be cleaned. However, do not wash the gray sponges. They are only a collection of waste crystals or grains.

Beauty therapists need to wear gloves before cleaning the microdermabrasion waste container. Use gloved hands to remove as much of the crystals from the gray foam filter over a wastebasket. Then use compressed air to spray four short bursts of air to remove the rest of the residue of crystals or organic grains from the gray foam filter.

It is important to dispose of the gray filters after 10 treatments. Replace with a new filter. Remember the gray filter goes over the LT blue filter for full-body protection. Also, make sure the gray filter is covering the length of the LT filter.

Again, maintenance is the key to machine longevity. Skin for Life has been building microdermabrasion since 2003, our microdermabrasion machines are still operating in the esthetic industry today.
