Difference between Dermaplaning and Microdermabrasion
A lot of people mix up these two terms but they are completely different from each other. Although, they are both exfoliating skin treatments that helps to soothe your skin and gives it a smoother, brighter and youthful look.
Microdermabrasion [6] ‘sands down’ your skin making use of an abrasive surface. A special tool is used directly on your face to exfoliate your skin cells. While, dermaplaning involves using an exfoliating blade.
Microdermabrasion involves several rounds of treatment and the result lasts longer than when you dermaplane.
These procedures are similar in the following ways;
- They have similar results
- They have similar possible side effects
- They are both safe procedures
- They are both non-surgical
It is best to speak to your dermatologist to advice you on which of the two procedures is best for your skin type, if you are finding it difficult to decide.
