💫 Microdermabrasion vs. Dermaplaning
Although on the surface they might appear to work in a similar way by removing dead skin cells, microdermabrasion and dermaplaning have distinct differences and boast their own advantages and disadvantages.
🍃Benefits and Results of Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion is very effective for targeting skin complaints. A course of treatments is progressive and carried out every 7-10 days, removing dead skin cells and stimulating the production of collagen and elastin in the skin.
More Microdermabrasion Benefits:
• Removes dead skin cells to reveal smoother, brighter skin
• Unclogs pores and reduces congestion
• Stimulates collagen and elastin production
• Boosts circulation through gentle vacuum action
• Supports the skin’s natural repair process
• Suitable every 7–10 days as part of a progressive treatment course
• Enhances absorption of skincare products
• Creates a smoother base for makeup
🍑 Dermaplaning – Benefits for Sensitive Skin
Unlike MD, dermaplaning removes the vellus hair, often known as ‘peach fuzz’. This is a particular benefit of dermaplaning and great for those who dislike the appearance of this hair on the face. It can also help improve the absorption of skincare products into the skin.
More Dermaplaning Benefits
• Removes peach fuzz
• Hair does not grow back thicker or darker
• Suitable for pregnant clients
• Suitable for clients with rosacea and broken capillaries
• Helps absorption of products
Choosing between Microdermabrasion and Dermaplaning depends on your skin type, concerns, and desired results. If you’re looking to target congestion, acne, or pigmentation, microdermabrasion offers deeper exfoliation and progressive results. For smoother skin and peach fuzz removal, dermaplaning may be the better option.
