Dermaplane After Microneedling

Dermaplaning is a great treatment to give your skin a boost before any dermarolling, microneedling or other acid treatments. It can help remove dead skin cells and promote cellular turnover, which will lead to a smoother texture and brighter complexion. The treatment itself is quick and easy; it only takes 30 minutes or so depending on how much area you want treated at once!

In this guide, we review the aspects of Dermaplane After Microneedling, dermaplaning and microneedling facial, microneedling vs dermaplaning, and How long after microneedling can I exfoliate?

Dermaplane After Microneedling

I love microneedling, but it can be hard to get the results you want. Dermaplaning is a little known technique that can enhance your microneedling results by removing dead skin cells and helping lighten up hyperpigmentation. So what is dermaplaning? It’s a procedure that uses a special medical scalpel called a dermatome to gently scrape off the outermost layer of dead skin cells. That sounds horrifying right? Wrong! This procedure is actually quite safe and well-tolerated, especially when done properly by an experienced professional like myself (I’m kidding).

Dermaplaning is a safe, well-tolerated procedure that can be performed on anyone regardless of skin type or condition, as long as they are not allergic to metal.

Dermaplaning is a safe, well-tolerated procedure that can be performed on anyone regardless of skin type or condition, as long as they are not allergic to metal. Dermaplaning involves removing the dead outer layer of your skin with a sterile surgical blade. It is an alternative to traditional microdermabrasion and exfoliation methods such as chemical peels or manual scrubbing using coarse grains like salt or sugar crystals.

Dermaplaning has been shown to improve fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes, mouth and forehead area after only one treatment session! The results last longer than those achieved by other methods because they go deeper into your skin layers instead of just removing surface debris like scrubs do (which only lasts for around two weeks).

It is a very precise procedure that requires minimal downtime and zero recovery period.

Dermaplaning is a procedure that removes dead skin cells and helps lighten up hyperpigmentation. It can be done before or after microneedling, but it’s definitely best to have it done before you get the needles in your face.

Dermaplaning takes less than an hour to perform, and there’s no recovery time! The only thing you need to do is make sure you’re not using any retinol products for at least 24 hours after dermaplaning because they will irritate the freshly shaved area (which might also be sensitive).

dermaplaning and microneedling facial

For people who have fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars, or other skin imperfections, there are many aesthetic treatments available. Microneedling and dermaplaning are two treatments that reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and lead to glowing, healthier skin. But what is the difference between the two? And how does a person know which is the right choice?

What happens during microneedling?

Microneedling is a procedure that uses small needles to make micro-perforations in the surface of the skin. The pricked skin reacts as though it were injured and stimulates growth of new collagen and elastin in the healing process. The result is skin that is fuller, smoother, and more supple. Patients who get microneedling treatments experience improvement in the texture and firmness of their skin and a reduction in scarring. Microneedling also reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and makes pores look tighter.

Is scarring or aging your main concern?

Microneedling is an effective anti-aging treatment for people with fine lines, wrinkles, or sagging skin. It’s also extremely beneficial for people with acne, acne scarring, or a rough skin texture. Microneedling may require a little more down time than dermaplaning. After microneedling treatment, skin will look pink and even red for up to 24 hours. It is not advised to wear makeup or to use products with active ingredients like glycolic acid and alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) for up to 24 hours after the procedure. Full results show after 6-8 weeks. For best results, dermatologists recommend getting 4-6 microneedling sessions.

What happens during dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning is a simple, non-invasive aesthetic procedure for smoother, more glowing skin. The process involves using a small sharp blade to scrape off the top layer of dead skin cells. Additionally, dermaplaning also scrapes off the vellus hair, or peach fuzz, on the face and neck. People who get dermaplaning treatments will likely have slightly pink skin for a few hours after the procedure. After this pinkness goes away, however, underneath is a glowing layer of new skin.

Is peach fuzz your main concern?

Results for dermaplaning are fairly quick. People who get dermaplaning done will notice a difference in the appearance of skin within a week or so. Dermaplaning is best for people who want to remove excess hair. It is a good add-on to other aesthetic procedures, and it allows skin care products to better penetrate the skin. Dermaplaning may also be the best option for women who are breastfeeding or pregnant, as it uses no chemical agents. For best results, dermatologists recommend getting dermaplaning treatment every 4-6 weeks.

microneedling vs dermaplaning

Although micro-needling is a safe and effective skin rejuvenation treatment by itself, studies have shown that using skin-enhancing serums in conjunction with micro-needling often optimize results. At glowMD, we offer multiple treatment options for micro-needling to address your specific skincare concerns, including Micro-needling with Dermaplane & growth factor serum.

What is Micro-Needling with Dermaplane & Growth Factors?

One of the safest and least invasive methods for skin rejuvenation, micro-needling involves moving a pen-like device with tiny needles over treated areas. The needles penetrate to a specific depth below the skin, stimulating a process known as Collagen Induction Therapy that restructures existing collagen and increases collagen production in the skin for continued improvement over time.

One of the latest developments in micro-needling is the use of growth factors to aid in the regeneration of fresh new cells and tissues to improve the skin at a cellular level beneath the surface. These factors can be found in the patient’s own blood and formulated into PRP using a sterile centrifuge process, but for clients who are interested in utilizing growth factors in their treatment but who do not wish to have their blood drawn can benefit from Biopelle Growth Factors which can be purchased at glowMD. SCA growth factors, derived from snail secretions, dramatically regenerates skin tissue by stimulating youthful cell growth to smooth wrinkles, boost collagen and elastin and maintain moisture levels. Prescribed dosage of the individual ampules shows results in as little as 7 days.

Dermaplaning, also known as blading, is a safe and simple skin rejuvenation treatment intended to exfoliate the epidermis and remove vellus hairs (peach fuzz), leaving the skin smoother and looking healthier. This exfoliation allows for your skincare products to penetrate more readily into the deeper layers. Dermaplaning is an ideal treatment for those with excess vellous hair because this hair often causes dirt and oil to clog in the follicles. Removing this hair gives the patient healthier looking skin. This is the perfect add on for many aesthetic procedures including laser, microneedling, superficial chemical peels and facials. Dermaplaning is also a prime exfoliation treatment option for those who are pregnant or nursing and not allowed to use chemical peeling agents.

This procedure is not traumatic and is a non-invasive way to remove dead skin cells to renew the skin. Our licensed medical esthetician will use a blade to stroke the skin at an 45 degree angle similar to shaving. This is a very safe procedure and only requires that you avoid taking any medications that could cause the blood to thin such as Accutane, Retinols, or any anti-inflammatory drug. Finally, do not wax before your treatment since this interrupts the hair growth cycle. Other than this there is no special preparation before or after your procedure and you can combine the Dermaplaning with Micro-needling, a light peel or facial.

How long after microneedling can I exfoliate?

You can rejuvenate your skin by using a microneedling device to stimulate the production of new collagen and elastin. While dermatologists have used microneedling for years, new techniques have elevated it to a popular at-home acne fighter, anti-aging superstar, and scar-healing champion.

Because home microneedling is a relatively new procedure, many people wonder, “When can you exfoliate after microneedling?”

When Am I Allowed To Exfoliate Following Microneedling?

Many people believe that they can immediately resume their normal skincare routine following microneedling. This, however, is not the case. Exfoliating your skin prematurely can result in a slew of new problems that will require additional effort to resolve.

Most people’s skincare regimens include exfoliation because it makes them look younger. After all, you’ll want to be gentle with your skin after you’ve poked thousands of tiny holes in it.

In short, refrain from exfoliating your skin until it has healed and is no longer red. This time will vary according to the roller type you are using.

On the other hand, exfoliation has a place and, when performed properly, should come after microneedling.

Why Is Exfoliation Required After Microneedling?

Apart from the warnings, exfoliation is an excellent post-operative treatment for your face!

A common dermarolling side effect is the appearance of dry, dead skin in the areas where you had previously rolled the skin. Simultaneously, your body is actively healing and regenerating new skin. The accumulation of old dead skin cells on the surface of the skin results in a cracked, ashy appearance due to the replacement of skin and tissue cells.

As you might expect, exfoliation is the most effective method of removing it. Not only is this the most effective method for removing all of the dead skin, but it also prepares your skin to absorb any healing oils or moisturizers that you apply later.

Remember To Exfoliate Before Microneedling

While we’re on the subject of exfoliation, it’s worth noting that you should always exfoliate your face before microneedling. This is especially true if it has been a few days since you last exfoliated (or weeks).

Regardless of whether you use a microneedling device, your skin is constantly being replaced. Most people are unaware that their skin completely sheds once a month!

Have you ever noticed how some mornings your skin appears to be faded? This is most likely caused by an excess of old stretch marks, which alters the way light reflects off your face. When your live skin cells are removed, light bounces off them, giving you that desired glow.

Exfoliating your face before using a derma roller removes this layer of dead skin cells and allows the needles to penetrate deeper into your skin.

Additionally, you won’t have to worry about the needles piercing your pores and pushing all of these old cells deeper. As you might imagine, this could be problematic, resulting in at the very least an acne outbreak.

How Long Will My Face Take To Heal Following Microneedling?

Your skin may take a day or several days to recover, depending on the length of the needles on your derma roller or derma stamp.

Within minutes of completing your derma rolling session, you will notice that your face is sensitive to touch, red, and possibly numb as if you were stuck in the face by a snowball.

Until your skin has regained its normal sensitivity to touch, do not apply any makeup, chemical agents, or exfoliating rubs to it. These are not only uncomfortable, but they can also prolong the healing process.

Your face will become less sensitive, red, and swollen, signaling that it is ready to resume its normal skincare routine, which includes exfoliation.

This should occur within 24 to 48 hours if you use a short.25-millimeter dermaroller. If you use a derma roller with a diameter of at least 1.0 millimeter, your skin may require 3 to 4 days to heal.

You should not rely solely on our recommendations, as each individual’s skin heals differently. When your skin appears to be back to normal, you’re ready to go.

What Are The Benefits Of Microneedling For Your Skin?

Your skin will most likely feel sensitive to touch following microneedling. Numerous patients report experiencing a stinging sensation for a day or two following their treatment. In general, the larger the needle, the more severe and prolonged the pain.

Once the treatment is complete, rub an ice cube over the affected area to help alleviate pain. This will numb the surface of the skin, reduce swelling, and re-tighten your pores!

After applying the ice cube, follow with a high-quality vitamin C serum containing hyaluronic acid, such as the TruSkin Naturals serum pictured above. Hyaluronic acid, when used in conjunction with microneedling, aids in the restoration and rejuvenation of the skin following derma rolling treatments.
