This system uses diamond treatment tips to exfoliate the skin. They work by removing the dead skin cells from the top layer of skin (the epidermis) and stimulate the production of new skin cells. The BaeVac comes with a selection of 6 detachable heads, designed to do anything from hard to reach areas of your nose, to light mass extraction of blackheads on your cheeks. Each technique delivers improved skin tone, the reduction of pore appearance, and makes skin smoother, clearer and rejuvenated. The BaeVac effectively minimised the appearance of large pore an helps to remove the dirt that causes acne and blackheads. It also works to remove dead skin cells and soaks up excess oil and dirt to reveal cleaner skin.
