When it comes to skin treatments, there are so many different options in the market these days that sometimes it gets a bit confusing in regards to what each treatment does and who they are meant for. 

The main sought after skin treatments at the moment are Microdermabrasion and Laser Skin Rejuvenation. But what is the difference between them and which one is the best for me?

These two treatments are pretty much opposite in what they do and how they do it but they complement each other perfectly, so when it comes to choosing which one is best for you, the answer is probably both of them. But let’s understand it a little bit better.

MICRODERMABRASION is a non invasive deep exfoliation of the skin, treating only the outermost layer of the skin. It tackles flaws at the surface level, removing dead cells and reducing superficial pigmentation, as well as blemishes. Microdermabrasion is done by using a diamond-tip wand that gently buffs the top layer of the skin. It can be done on all skin types, but it is not the type of treatment that will be treating skin concerns that are sitting in deeper layers of the skin, but it is a great treatment to be done in conjunction with more invasive treatments such as laser rejuvenation, chemical peels etc. It is also great pre-party pick me up, as it will leave the skin clean and silky smooth straight after, for that perfect makeup application. A microdermabrasion session will take approximately 20-30 minutes and sessions are usually recommended monthly.

LASER SKIN REJUVENATION is still considered non invasive as there is no downtime associated, but when compared to Microdermabrasion, it does a little bit extra. The laser works on a cellular level (deeper layers of the skin) to improve skin tone and texture, firm the skin, reduce pore size and appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, whilst also removing pigmentation that might be sitting a bit deeper in the skin as well as acne and acne scarring. The laser will also stimulate collagen and elastin production in order to promote healthy skin cells. It is not a painful treatment. Sessions will take approximately 15-20 minutes and are usually recommended monthly.

In a nutshell, Laser Skin Rejuvenation is a more complete treatment when it comes to actively treating the skin and seeing a real improvement. For those who have never tried any skin treatments before and are still a bit wary, Microdermabrasion is a great one to deep your toes in the water before moving onto something more intense. And for those intending to get optimum skin improvement, try both together and you will be AMAZED!
