Abstract

Microdermabrasion in cosmetic field is a mild process in relation to treatment of human facial skin by removing any dead and damage cells, fat spots or impurities adhered to human face. A sudden malfunction of working operation of microdermabrasion machine has been found as significant problem, which is expected due to motor blockage in the machine affected the machine performance that in turn causing shorter machine lifetime. The motor blockage in the machine has been investigated that is usually caused by accumulation of fats or impurities hindering the motor operation. Before using an air filter in its vacuum system it is reported that the efficiency of machine  lifetime is only about two months based on five times usage daily, however, after applying the air filter installed in the machine the lifetime getting increased to six months with same frequency of daily use. This investigation is emphasized on the role of air filter in the vacuum system applied to  microdermabrasion machine in order to prolong the machine lifetime.
