Microdermabrasion – The Cons

Despite being super effective and efficient as a treatment, microdermabrasion is not suitable for pregnant clients because of this. Removing the very outer layer of skin cells increases susceptibility to UV and a risk of pigmentation. It is also unsuitable for those with rosacea and extensive broken capillaries as the vacuum action can exacerbate these issues.

Microdermabrasion – The Pros

Microdermabrasion is very effective for targeting skin complaints. A course of treatments is progressive and carried out every 7-1o days removing dead skin cells and stimulating the production of collagen and elastin in the skin.

Here are a few of the benefits:

• The crystals knock loose, old dead skin cells from the skin surface
• The vacuum action boosts blood flow to the area and removes all the dead skin
• Combined action of crystals and vacuum unclogs pores and clears congestion
• Suitable for use every 7-10 days
• Stimulates new collagen and elastin production
• Work around spots thanks to the targeted microcrystals and handset.
• Stimulates body’s natural repair process
• Progressive treatment, see improvements with each treatment
• Aids absorption of skincare products
• Makeup glides on the smooth surface

What You Need to Know About Microneedling

This is a newer form of skin treatment designed to trigger the healing process response of the skin and achieved by using a handheld device that will penetrate the skin and use tiny needles to create microscopic wounds. These wounds should trigger a reaction in your skin that stimulates elastin and collagen production. By activating the collagen, your skin will achieve a smoother, firmer, and more refined appearance. This procedure is only minimally invasive, and a cream that will mildly numb your skin is used to minimize any discomfort the client may feel during the process.

Here is what microneedling targets for your skin:

• Hyperpigmentation
• Acne scarring
• Fine Lines
• Stretch marks
• Open pores

Deeper Dive On How It Works

The process of microneedling is intended to trigger the skin to repair itself. This will help the skin with its collagen production as improved elasticity in the tissue. Collagen also helps to plump any fine lines and thicken skin. What happens during this process is that very small micro-needles create tiny holes (.5 to 3 mm deep) in the skin.

The standard tool that is used for microneedling is the dermaroller. This device has a small wheel with rows of needles all around it that can make up to 250 holes in the skin per square centimeter. However, you may see people use a microneedling machine. This machine has a tip on it that is very similar to a tattoo machine and can be used for the same purpose.

Dermaplaning – The Cons

Although used to remove dead skin, the treatment itself does not unclog the pores. Some therapists overcome this by following a dermaplaning treatment with an enzyme peel. This will dissolve dirt and sebum in the pores.

Dermaplaning can cause breakouts for someone with oily skin. The vellus hair is removed so oil produced in the sebaceous gland cannot travel up the hair to lubricate the skin. Therefore, it can get trapped underneath and cause a spot. You can avoid this by using the correct skincare for an oily skin. Vellus hair will grow back so unfortunately it’s not a permanent solution to this issue.

Microdermabrasion is a tried and trusted exfoliating treatment that has been around for decades. Thanks to the fantastic results you can achieve for a number of skin concerns (more about that here), microdermabrasion has benefited from enduring popularity. Microdermabrasion refers to the use of tiny exfoliating crystals to unsettle and remove the dead, upper layer of skin and reveal the fresh, new skin layer beneath. Dermaplaning, a relatively new treatment, uses a bladed tool to remove the surface layer of dead cells and vellus ‘peach fuzz’ hair from the skin.

MicrodermabrasionDermaplaning

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. Here we share with you the pros and cons of microdermabrasion vs. dermaplaning so you can make an informed decision about your treatment choices.

Everything You Need To Know About Microdermabrasion

This form of skin treatment is an offshoot of dermabrasion and skin resurfacing, which is done to the body and the face to remove any dead or damaged cells on the top layer of your skin.

The American College of Dermatology recommends Microdermabrasions to target:

• A dull complexion
• Any signs of aging
• Spots made by the sun
• Hyperpigmentation
• Acne scars

Deeper Dive On How It Works

The method of microdermabrasion is much like gently scraping your skin. In the case of diamond microdermabrasion, it’s a small machine that vacuums with a rough tip that helps to remove your top layer of skin.

The best part of microdermabrasion is that you may see results right away, and your skin may feel much smoother very soon after. What’s even better is that your skin may look like it has a more even tone and brighter after treatment. As a rule of thumb, most people will need more than one microdermabrasion treatment. Coming back for more than one treatment ensures that your skin is looking rejuvenated and benefitting from improved elasticity and collagen production.
