Used aluminum oxide crystals from microdermabrasion treatments should be disposed of properly as hazardous waste.

At the end of a microdermabrasion treatment, used aluminum oxide crystals should be disposed of properly. These crystals are typically collected and disposed of as hazardous waste due to the skin cells, oils, and bacteria that they have come into contact with during the treatment. It is important to follow local regulations for the disposal of hazardous waste, as improper disposal can lead to environmental contamination.
