We are often asked what is the difference between microneedling and microdermabrasion. While both of these treatments help to rejuvenate the skin, the treatments themselves are very different. Keep reading to find out the differences between the treatments and which one may be best for your skin concern.
Firstly, let’s look at microneedling. Microneedling is invasive as it involves using fine needles to puncture and ‘injure’ the skin. The aim of microneedling is to kick-start the production of collagen which is essential for healthy skin. By tricking the skin into thinking it is injured, the skin triggers its repair process. It is a safe and effective treatment for all skin types and is best for treating acne scarring, stretch marks, fine lines and wrinkles. The device we use at Simply Clinics for microneedling is the Dermapen 4, one of the most popular microneedling devices. Another benefit of microneedling is that it allows for essential skin ingredients to be gently infused through the process of Mesotherapy.
Further treatments can be combined with microneedling such as chemical peels and radio-frequency to help with skin tightening.
Take a look at how microneedling can transform your skin:
Microdermabrasion on the other hand is a non-invasive skin treatment that uses a vacuum and diamond technology to deeply exfoliate the skin. This process helps to stimulate new skin growth. It is best for treating clogged pores, dull skin and blackheads by extracting the layers of dead skin, leaving behind younger, fresher looking skin!
Microdermabrasion can be performed as an additional treatment alongside microneedling to help combat more challenging skin concerns. Microdermabrasion can also be combined with chemical peels. If you have deep acne scars, skin pigmentation or deep lines and wrinkles, then a combination of treatments may be more effective.
