Dermaplaning and Microdermabrasion

Dermaplaning vs. Microdermabrasion: Achieve Radiant Skin Your Way!

Are you ready to revitalize your skin and reveal a smoother, glowing complexion? Both dermaplaning and microdermabrasion are tried-and-true methods to improve skin texture and tone. While they achieve similar results, each offers unique benefits tailored to your skincare needs. At Forever MedSpa, we’ll help you choose the perfect treatment to achieve that enviable, flawless glow.

The Difference Between Dermaplaning and Microdermabrasion

What is Dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning involves the gentle use of a specialized medical blade, called a dermatome, to carefully remove surface layers of dead skin cells and peach fuzz. This precise technique instantly brightens your complexion, leaving your skin ultra-smooth and prepped for better product absorption. Sessions can range from a quick 10 minutes to an hour, depending on your skincare goals.

What is Microdermabrasion?

Microdermabrasion uses tiny diamond-shaped crystals or a diamond wheel to exfoliate the skin and remove the outer layer of dead skin cells. The process stimulates natural collagen production, rejuvenates skin, and smooths imperfections like scars, wrinkles, and uneven texture. Known as the “lunchtime peel,” microdermabrasion is quick, painless, and delivers visible results in just 15–30 minutes, making it perfect for even the busiest schedules.

How They Work

Dermaplaning

A skilled esthetician uses a dermatome to gently shave off surface skin layers and fine hair.
No harsh chemicals or invasive techniques are used, making it ideal for sensitive skin.
Benefits include:
- Brighter, softer skin.
- Smooth application of makeup.
- Reduction of acne scars and fine lines.

Microdermabrasion

A specialized tool rotates over the skin, sloughing off dead skin cells with diamond crystals or a wire brush.
Helps reduce scars, wrinkles, and skin damage.
Also effective for rosacea-prone skin or those seeking texture improvement.

Key Benefits of Both Treatments

Both dermaplaning and microdermabrasion offer non-invasive solutions to healthier, younger-looking skin. Here’s why they’re so loved:

Quick and convenient: Great for busy schedules.
Minimal downtime: A short recovery period (2–3 days for any redness).
Safe for all skin types: Both treatments are customizable and gentle.
No harsh chemicals or lasers: Perfect for sensitive skin.

What to Expect During and After Treatment

During Treatment

Dermaplaning: Feels like a gentle scrape across the skin—no discomfort!
Microdermabrasion: A painless sensation as the diamond tool exfoliates your skin.

Aftercare

Redness and slight swelling are normal for both treatments and subside within a few days.
Avoid sun exposure and use SPF diligently.
Moisturize and follow the post-care instructions provided by your esthetician to maximize your results.
