I haven't had any experience with intraceuticals oxygen, but I own and use a Dermasweep at my skin & Laser Center. A standard microdermabrasion system often uses crystals to provide a dry exfoliation of the skin. Crystals can be harmful if it accidently gets into the eyes and/or nose. The Dermasweep is a particle free, multi-level microdermabrasion treatment that uses skin specific brushes and infusion solutions to clean, exfoliate, and rejuvenate your skin. If you haven't had a chance to try it, I highly recommend it. I have owned a crystal microdermabrasion system in the past and I have tested other non-particle microdermabrasion systems before I decided to invest in the Dermasweep. My entire staff including 4 Estheticians really enjoy the Dermasweep treatments.
