Micro needling and microdermabrasion are different procedures that are targeted to different skin conditions. Microdermabrasion is a form of exfoliation performed under the supervision of a certified practitioner. It uses a solution containing a component to exfoliate the skin along with an instrument that has mild suction to help the procedure. This process is used to remove the dead and dull cells that rest on the surface of the skin, with the suction tool helping to clear the exfoliated cells away, while also increasing the circulation in the area. Skin is left smoother and brighter without the layer of dead cells on its surface. Micro needling creates tiny wounds, not just on the surface of the skin, but also the layers underneath. This causes the collagen and elastin cells to go into overdrive and ramp up production in order to heal the skin. While it is more invasive, it is more beneficial in treating skin imperfections such as stretch marks, acne scars, wrinkles, and fine lines. Every person’s skin will respond to micro needling differently. It is important to work with a certified practitioner for the best results.
