A: Altair Instruments has been a medical device manufacturer for over 35 years, with experience in the medical industry creating devices for neurosurgery, orthopedics, and cochlear implants. Nearly 20 years ago, we parlayed our medical device expertise into creating the revolutionary crystal- free skin exfoliation system called DiamondTome. We are the innovators of the crystal-free exfoliation technique that is now an industry standard. Q: How did you become president of DiamondTome? A: In 1995, I was fortunate enough to cofound StrenuMed, a power surgical company. I was asked by the then-president Steve Waldron to research and defi ne a crystal-free microdermabrasion system. That system was the NewApeel, which we still manufacture today. Fast-forward to 2010: Steve wanted to retire and asked me if I would like to acquire Altair Instruments. Q: What should estheticians know before investing in devices? A: This is such a great question. You should defi nitely do your research about what you're investing in. Ask yourself what company/brand you want to revolve your services around? Other pertinent factors to research include where the machine is manufactured and the cost per treatment. Also take into consideration reordering supplies, the customer service, what fellow estheticians are saying about their experience with that product/brand, and what consumers are saying about their treatments.
