Today’s advancements in beauty science have led to a wide variety of anti-aging treatments that can bring about fantastic results. Best of all, you don’t have to worry about undergoing surgery. Many of us desire more beautiful skin but don’t really know how to pursue this. Our professional beauty salon offers two exceptional services that can help to restore a youthful look. These include microneedling and dermaplaning, and we explain all of the details and differences.

Flawless Skin
Perfect-looking skin doesn’t belong only to the rich and famous. Now, people of all ages can develop a lovely complexion that is balanced in tone, radiant, clear, and with fewer lines and wrinkles. There are affordable, non-surgical skincare options that can successfully address these common issues and significantly improve your skin.

An esthetician is a licensed individual who can help you achieve younger-looking, healthier and brighter skin during a beauty salon session. This cosmetic expert is the right individual to see when you’re interested in microneedling vs dermaplaning. Do not try these procedures at home. See a professional to understand how precisely both need to be performed.

Microneedling

This facial treatment has become very popular these days among celebrities and non-celebrities alike because people like the results. Microneedling, in simplest terms, involves a slight external injury to the skin, which will stimulate new collagen production for the face.

Collagen, the most abundant protein in the body, is essential in allowing the face to appear youthful. As collagen dwindles during general aging, the skin becomes thinner, and you lose the tone, texture, and suppleness the skin used to have.

Microneedling is performed by our esthetician, who uses a special device with multiple ultra-fine needles that penetrate the upper layers of the skin. Tiny wounds will result, and your skin will respond to healing by building extra collagen. There is minimal downtime, with some clients seeing temporary redness, swelling, and/or skin flaking. Your skin will be more sensitive to the sun, so remember to apply sunscreen.

The treatment has succeeded in improving issues such as enlarged pores, fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars, burns, and stretch marks on the belly. The technique of making tiny pinholes into the skin is often used to allow anti-aging skincare serums and creams to penetrate more effectively for optimal effects.

Microneedling can also help thicken and tighten the skin through several sessions. Some dermatologists recommend having three to five monthly or biweekly treatments to achieve desired results.

Dermaplaning

When considering non-surgical skincare treatments such as microneedling vs dermaplaning, you can expect to receive the benefits of glowing skin. Dermaplaning is the other option you may want to try first.

Think of manual exfoliation because that is how dermaplaning is often described. Our skincare technician will use a scalpel to shave the skin on your face. It sounds frightening, but it really isn’t, and when you have a skilled expert performing this cosmetic treatment with light, feathery strokes, it is relaxing and gentle.

A medical-grade scalpel is used to scrape the very top layer of the skin to remove dead skin cells and fine facial hairs. It is a safe and painless procedure with little to no downtime, and it doesn’t involve harsh chemicals, either.

Dermaplaning can deliver these results:

• Smoother skin
• More even skin tone
• Peach fuzz removal
• Smaller pores in appearance
• Cleaner pores in the prevention of acne
• More flawless makeup application

Dermaplaning can be done during a lunchtime break as it is convenient and quick. Skincare professionals also say that this treatment will encourage the building of new collagen to help you maintain an even skin tone and smoother texture. It’s suitable for all skin types and those with a sensitive complexion, and it is also safe for pregnant women.

Another advantage to having a dermaplaning session is its frequency. In other words, you can have continued appointments for the treatment. It is not harmful to the skin. The only advice here is to wait about three to four weeks before having another dermaplaning procedure. It’s important to let your skin have time to “heal” and resurface. Again, apply sunscreen for protection.

Microneedling And Dermaplaning Combination

When you’re considering microneedling vs dermaplaning, you can actually have both treatments done for superb visible results and deeper skin cell rejuvenation. Skin care pros recommend the dermaplaning procedure first and then, the microneedling method second.
