Microneedling vs Microdermabrasion: What’s the Difference?

Your skin is a reflection of health and vitality. As we age, we begin to develop lines, wrinkles, and various scarring or discolouration.The good news? There are a variety of skin procedures designed to reverse the aging process and reinvigorate your appearance.

Microneedling and microdermabrasion have unique benefits and can help you restore a more youthful look. Here’s everything you need to know about Microneedling vs Microdermabrasion and how to decide which is right for you:

Microneedling

Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a painless cosmetic procedure that involves puncturing the skin with tiny needles to stimulate collagen production. This treatment creates controlled micro-injuries beneath your skin’s surface, inducing the body to create new blood vessels, elastin, and collagen.

Microneedling reaches the skin below the surface and the micro-injury it produces results in new skin. You’ll experience a few days of redness, flaking, and dryness afterwards, but you’ll be able to enjoy incredible results within 3 weeks.

How many sessions are needed? Typically, a series of treatments is required although many patients report a noticeable improvement after just one session.

Skin Concerns That Benefit From Microneedling:

  • Acne and acne scars
  • Rosacea
  • Wrinkles and fine lines
  • Stretch marks and scars
  • Uneven skin texture
  • Enlarged pores
  • Aging skin


Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion targets the skin’s surface using a gentle ablative material, such as diamond crystals to scrub off dead skin cells, while simultaneously suctioning the debris away.

Microdermabrasion exfoliates the skin’s surface, resulting in a smoother and clearer complexion. There is minimal downtime associated with this treatment, and you can go right back to your daily activities afterwards.

How many treatments are needed? Results can be seen after just one treatment, but regular sessions are required to maintain your results.

Skin Concerns That Benefit From Microdermabrasion:

  • Dull or dry skin
  • Uneven skin tone and texture
  • Fine lines
  • Age spots and hyperpigmentation


Microdermabrasion and Microneedling: Could You Benefit From Both?

Many patients can benefit from having both types of treatment. Typically, they can have 3-4 microneedling sessions per year and in between these, opt for microdermabrasion facials.

However, before having any aesthetic treatments, you must ALWAYS book a skin consultation to learn more about the health of your skin and about which skin treatments would best target your concerns and overall skin health goals.
