Ideal Skin’s Dermaplaning*

Dermaplaning is a precise, elegant and highly effective superficial exfoliation. “Planing” as it is commonly referred to, relies on the simplest of tools but the most artful of skill to deeply scrape and exfoliate away the top layers of inert skin. This low tech treatment yields the highest dividends in skin toning, clarifying and re-texturing and is ideally suited for all ages and skin types. Dermaplaning also removes hair from the treated areas leaving behind a smooth, beautiful face free from unwanted hair.

Ideal Skin’s Microdermabrasions*

Microdermabrasion has no downtime and is easy to perform. We use a diamond tip Microdermabrasion wand to eliminate the dead and damaged surface skin that is blocking your inner beauty.

Microdermabrasion works on enhancing skin tone by promoting skin growth and restoring the skin’s clarity and elasticity. This procedure is designed for skin with stretch marks, minor acne scars, enlarged pores, wrinkles, fine lines, blackheads, uneven and granular skin, and sun damage.

Exploring Skin Rejuvenation Techniques at Ideal Skin MedSpa

We understand that achieving beautiful, glowing skin is a top priority for our clients in Fort Worth and Decatur, TX. Two popular skin rejuvenation treatments that many consider are dermaplaning and microdermabrasion. These procedures, while similar in their goal to refresh and revitalize the skin, offer distinct approaches and benefits. Here, we'll explore both the differences and similarities between these treatments to help you decide which is best suited for your skin needs.

The Main Differences Between Dermaplaning and Microdermabrasion

Treatment Focus and Frequency

  • Microdermabrasion is known for its versatility and is primarily used to enhance the overall texture and appearance of the skin. This procedure utilizes a specialized tool that gently sands away the outer layer of skin. It's effective for reducing the appearance of acne scars, stretch marks, and discoloration. For optimal results, microdermabrasion is best performed approximately once a month.
  • Dermaplaning, on the other hand, is more focused on removing the top layers of dead skin cells and fine facial hair, resulting in a smoother and more youthful complexion. This treatment can be done as needed to improve specific problem areas or as a regular maintenance procedure.

Recovery and Downtime

  • Microdermabrasion offers the convenience of no downtime, earning it the nickname "lunchtime procedure." Clients can easily schedule a session during the day and return to their daily activities immediately afterward.
  • Dermaplaning requires a bit more caution post-treatment due to its slightly more invasive nature. Clients might experience redness, swelling, and sensitivity. The recovery process involves avoiding harsh environments and applying prescribed creams or medications to alleviate any discomfort.

Post-Treatment Care

  • After microdermabrasion, it is typically recommended to use special lotions or skin products to enhance and extend the effects of the treatment.
  • Following dermaplaning, clients are advised to use hypoallergenic makeup to cover any temporary redness and to protect the skin with high-SPF sunscreen to prevent hyperpigmentation as the new skin is particularly sensitive to sunlight.

The Similarities Between Dermaplaning and Microdermabrasion

Enhancing Facial Aesthetics

Both dermaplaning and microdermabrasion are designed to improve the appearance of your skin. By removing dead skin cells, both treatments promote the growth of new, healthier skin cells, which can dramatically refresh your overall look.

Simplicity and Efficacy

These treatments are straightforward and can be completed quickly, making them an excellent choice for those with busy lifestyles. They are also non-invasive, which reduces the risks associated with more intensive cosmetic procedures.

Combination Possibilities

It's not uncommon for skin care professionals to perform both treatments in a single visit. This combination approach allows for targeted correction with dermaplaning in specific areas, while microdermabrasion provides a general enhancement over the entire face.
