When you are ready to improve your skin, you will likely find several cosmetic, non-invasive procedures available to choose from. Among the most popular are microneedling and microdermabrasion, but which one is the right choice for your needs?
Microneedling
Microneedling is a collagen-stimulating treatment that addresses fine lines, scars, and pigmentation concerns on the skin. It can also help minimize stretch marks and wrinkles. It can be used on your body, scalp, and face. Microneedling can improve your skin concerns by encouraging blood flow and activating the body’s natural healing process. This leads to collagen production, which helps fill in the skin, creating a younger, healthier look.
Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion is the removal of the top layer of the skin through the exfoliation process. It can address various skin concerns, including fine lines, wrinkles, scars, and pigmentation. This treatment lasts about 30 minutes, earning it the nickname the “lunch hour facial.”
It is completed with proper care and precision by one of our highly trained team members. The device is passed over the skin, removing that top layer of skin and encouraging your body’s natural ability to heal. It also “polishes” the top layer by safely removing dead skin cells.
Which Method Fits Your Needs?
Both of these skin care treatments can be beneficial depending on your specific areas of focus. They are performed in our office as outpatient procedures and may require multiple treatments for the best results. However, many people see results with both methods after their first treatment.
