Dermaplaning vs. Microdermabrasion – Which One Should You Actually Book?

Standing on a booking page wondering which exfoliation treatment to choose? Same.

Dermaplaning and microdermabrasion are two of the most popular skin treatments in Calgary — but they do different things.

Let’s clear it up.

Dermaplaning: Smooth, Glowy, Instant Results

Dermaplaning gently removes dead skin and peach fuzz using a sterile blade. The result? Silky-smooth skin and unreal makeup application.

Dermaplaning is perfect if you want:

• Instant glow

• Smoother texture

• No downtime

• A gentle exfoliation

Bonus: no, your hair does not grow back thicker.

Microdermabrasion: Deeper Exfoliation

Microdermabrasion uses a mechanical device to exfoliate the skin more deeply. It’s ideal for:

• Texture issues

• Congestion

• Mild pigmentation

You may experience slight redness, but it’s short-lived.

So… Which One’s Better?

Neither — it depends on your skin.

Dermaplaning is great for sensitive skin and instant results. Microdermabrasion works well for thicker skin or congestion. Sometimes, combining treatments is the best option.
