Dermaplaning is similar to microdermabrasion in that it’s done to exfoliate the skin of its dead and damaged cells. This process also removes those ultra-fine hairs that grow on the face. Microdermabrasion does not. In that way, dermaplaning is a bit more efficient at exfoliating and instigating collagen production than microdermabrasion. That said, the results of each form of treatment tend to last about the same length of time.
