If you have had skin treatments before, you’ve likely heard of microneedling and
dermaplaning. But did you know that combining these two powerhouse treatments can
dramatically enhance your skin’s glow and health? Together, they offer a double dose of
rejuvenation, working together to tackle stubborn skin issues while promoting a smooth,
youthful complexion. Let’s dive into how this dynamic duo can benefit your skin, skin
problems it can help and how to maximise your results post-treatment.
The Benefits of Microneedling & Dermaplaning Combined
1. Smoother Skin Texture & Tone
Dermaplaning gently exfoliates the outermost layer of dead skin cells and removes vellus
hair also known as “peach fuzz”, leaving your skin incredibly smooth. When paired with
microneedling, which causes micro-trauma to the skin to boost collagen production, this
combination can significantly improve uneven texture and tone. Microneedling alone can
help soften scars and fine lines, but when dermaplaning is done first, the treatment
penetrates even deeper, offering enhanced results.
2. Improved Absorption of Skincare Products
Dermaplaning removes the barrier of dead skin and fine hair, which means your serums,
moisturisers, and other skincare products can penetrate more deeply. Microneedling further
enhances product absorption by creating microchannels in the skin. This means any
post-treatment serums—like those containing hyaluronic acid, peptides, or growth
factors—will be far more effective in nourishing and repairing your skin.
3. Reduces Fine Lines & Wrinkles
By stimulating collagen production, microneedling helps plump the skin and reduce the
appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Combining it with dermaplaning accelerates this
process by prepping the skin, making the microneedling treatment more efficient at targeting those pesky signs of aging.
4. Brightens Dull Skin
If your skin is looking tired and dull, this combo IS your best friend. Dermaplaning takes off
the dull outer layer of skin, while microneedling promotes the renewal of fresh, healthy skin
cells. Together, they leave your skin looking luminous and refreshed.
What Skin Issues Can It Help?
This treatment combo is ideal for:
Acne scars
Hyperpigmentation
Fine lines and wrinkles
Sun damage
Dullness
Dry patches
Large pores
Whether you’re looking to reverse signs of aging or simply want that dewy brightened
glow, microneedling and dermaplaning can be tailored to meet your skin’s specific needs.
When Should You Have This Treatment?
This combination treatment can be done every 4-6 weeks, depending on your skin type and
goals. For best results, it’s often recommended to have a course of 3-6 treatments, spaced
appropriately apart. It’s also perfect to schedule before a big event, giving your skin enough
time to heal and reveal that gorgeous glow.
How to Boost Your Results Post-Treatment
1. Use a Hydrating Serum
Serums will help to replenish moisture and aid in the healing process, ensuring your skin
remains plump and hydrated. We have a range of medical grade skincare products available
at the clinic which we can recommend post treatment.
2. Avoid Harsh Products
Steer clear of retinol, acids, and exfoliants for at least a week post-treatment. Your skin will
be sensitive, so gentle products are key.
3. Apply Sunscreen Religiously
Since your skin will be more sensitive to UV rays, a high-SPF sunscreen is a MUST! It
should be part of your morning skincare routine, every single day!
4. Stay Hydrated
Drinking plenty of water supports your skin’s healing process and helps maintain that
post-treatment glow.
5. Eat a Nutrient-Rich Diet
Foods high in antioxidants, vitamins, and healthy fats can enhance collagen production and
overall skin health. Think berries, leafy greens, and avocados!
When to Avoid/Postpone
Both microneedling and dermaplaning are popular skincare treatments that can enhance
skin texture, smoothness, and radiance. However, there are certain situations when it's best
to avoid or postpone these treatments:
● Active Skin Infections or Irritations: Avoid if you have conditions like cold sores,
eczema, or open wounds, as the treatments can irritate the skin further.
● Active Acne or Cystic Acne: Microneedling and dermaplaning may worsen
breakouts or cause additional irritation in areas with active pimples or cysts.
● Sunburned or Sensitive Skin: After sun exposure, your skin is more vulnerable and
can be easily damaged. Wait until your skin has fully healed before undergoing these
treatments.
● Rosacea or Severe Skin Conditions: Individuals with rosacea, psoriasis, or other
inflammatory skin conditions should avoid these treatments to prevent exacerbating
redness or irritation.
● Recent Chemical Peels or Laser Treatments: Give your skin time to heal after
undergoing these treatments before opting for microneedling or dermaplaning to
prevent over-exfoliation or irritation.
● Pregnancy or Breastfeeding (for Microneedling): While dermaplaning is generally
safe, microneedling may not be recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding
due to the use of topical numbing agents or serums that might not be suitable.
So... Combining microneedling and dermaplaning is one of the most effective ways to
rejuvenate your skin, improve texture, and achieve a radiant glow. With consistent
treatments and the right post-care routine, you’ll notice smoother, firmer, and more luminous
skin in no time.
