Overview
Both dermaplaning and microdermabrasion are popular skin exfoliation techniques, but they differ in their methods and results.
Dermaplaning
Dermaplaning is a manual exfoliation technique that involves using a sterile surgical scalpel to gently scrape off the top layer of dead skin cells and fine vellus hair (peach fuzz) from the face.
Benefits
Immediate smoothness and brightness of the skin.
Helps improve the absorption of skincare products.
Reduces the appearance of acne scars and fine lines.
Considerations
Not suitable for active acne.
Results are temporary, typically lasting about 3-4 weeks.
Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive procedure that uses a machine to spray tiny crystals onto the skin or uses a diamond-tipped wand to exfoliate the skin's surface.
Benefits
Improves skin texture and tone.
Can address sun damage, age spots, and enlarged pores.
Promotes collagen production over time.
Considerations
May cause temporary redness and sensitivity.
Multiple sessions may be necessary for optimal results.
However, certain skin types and conditions may find one method more advantageous than the other.
Dermaplaning is particularly suitable for pregnant or nursing mothers, individuals with sensitive or thin skin, and those who are at ease with facial hair removal.
Microdermabrasion is more appropriate for individuals with oily or thick skin, men, those with acne-prone skin, or those who prefer to keep their facial hair.
Individuals with combination, dry, and normal skin can choose either method. Nonetheless, neither treatment is recommended for inflamed acne.

Conclusion
Both treatments can enhance the appearance of the skin, but the choice between dermaplaning and microdermabrasion depends on individual skin types and specific skincare goals. Consulting with a skincare professional can help determine the best option for your needs.
