For first-time users, Ordon says Schick’sHydro Silk Dermaplaning Wand($20) is a great option.
To make the treatment even more effective, you might combine it with a complementary serum.
Ordon adds, “Microdermabrasion involves using a handheld rig to exfoliate the skin and remove the outer layer.
It uses tiny crystals or a diamond-tipped wand to gently abrade the skin’s surface.”
“It is a manual exfoliation technique that removes dead skin cells and vellus hair (peach fuzz).
So how do you decide between microdermabrasion or dermaplaning to treat your acne scars?
“If you have sensitive skin or are prone to irritation, dermaplaning may be a better option.”
If you have deep acne scars, microdermabrasion may provide more significant results,” says Ordon.
“Before attempting the procedure, thoroughly research and understand the technique, risks, and necessary tools.
