A member asked:
Please help! what is the difference between dermaplaning, microdermabrasion, and dermabrasion?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Big dif: The former is basically exfoliation- removal of dead outer skin cells sort of buffing the skin. The latter removes living cells at a deeper level and actually addresses wrinkles.
