Dermaplaning vs. Microneedling: Which Facial is Right for You?
Dermaplaning vs. Microneedling: Which Facial is Right for You?
Choosing a new facial can be overwhelming with so many options available. At UR Royalty Medspa, located at the corner of Fry Rd and FM 529 in Houston, Texas, two of our most popular treatments are dermaplaning and microneedling. Both are fantastic for improving your skin, but they work in different ways.
Here’s a quick guide to help you choose the best facial for your skin goals.
Dermaplaning: Instant Glow Up
Dermaplaning is a simple, effective exfoliation treatment. We use a special blade to gently scrape away dead skin cells and fine "peach fuzz" hair from the surface of your face.
You should choose Dermaplaning if you want to:
-
Get an immediate boost in skin brightness and smoothness.
-
Remove that annoying peach fuzz that can make makeup look uneven.
-
Help your skincare products sink in better.
-
Have a treatment with zero downtime—you can go right back to your day.
Think of dermaplaning as the perfect choice for a special event or when you want an instant, smooth finish.
Microneedling: The Collagen Powerhouse
Microneedling is a more advanced treatment that uses tiny needles to create micro-channels in your skin. This process sounds intense, but it’s a powerful way to trick your skin into producing new collagen and elastin.
You should choose Microneedling if you want to:
-
Improve the appearance of acne scars, fine lines, and wrinkles.
-
Minimize the size of your pores.
-
Firm and tighten sagging skin.
-
Get long-term skin rejuvenation benefits.
While there is some downtime (you might have a little redness for a day or two), the results are well worth the wait.
