Quick answer
Replace your KIWI derma Replacement Tip Medium every 3 months for consistent microdermabrasion performance and hygiene.
Why the 3-month rule matters
The medium Adamas diamond tip is designed to gradually reduce visible fine lines and stubborn imperfections. Over time, the diamond coating wears down, making the exfoliation less effective. Replacing it every 3 months keeps the tip sharp enough to deliver the same results you expect from your KIWI derma device.
What happens if you wait too long
A worn tip doesn't just lose effectiveness—it can also trap oils and dead skin cells, becoming a hygiene concern. While the tip itself is not porous, regular use without replacement can lead to uneven exfoliation. You might find yourself pressing harder to get the same feel, which can irritate your skin.
Verdicts on common myths
- Myth: You only need to replace the tip when it looks worn: Verdict: False. The diamond coating can wear down gradually without visible changes. By the time you notice a difference in feel or results, the tip has already been underperforming for weeks. Stick to a 3-month schedule. Mark your calendar every 3 months for a swap.
- Myth: Cleaning the tip extends its lifespan indefinitely: Verdict: Partially false. Proper cleaning after each use prevents buildup and keeps the tip hygienic, but it does not stop the natural wear of the diamond surface. Cleaning is essential care, not a replacement for regular replacement. Clean after every use, but still replace every 3 months.
- Myth: You can use the same tip for different skin concerns: Verdict: True with a caveat. The medium tip works for fine lines and stubborn imperfections, but if your skin needs change (e.g., you want gentler exfoliation), you may want to switch to a softer tip. For the same concern, just replace with the same medium tip. Match tip grade to your current skin need.
