Dermabrasion Vs. Microdermabrasion: What's the Difference? I have had microdermabrasion for years. but should i get dermabrasion for longer lasting results? what's the difference between microdermabarsion and dermabrasion?

A: Dermabrasion vs. Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion is a procedure commonly done by aestheticians. The Dermabrasion is done by physicians.

The most common way I utilize to describe them to a patient is very simple. Imagine that you buy an old table at a garage sale. This table has scratches and scrapes. These are the wrinkles. The Microdermabrasion is just applying Pledge on the table. You get a nice finish for about a week, but you still have wrinkles and sun damage. The Dermabrasion is scraping all the surface to a deeper level to be able to improve on the surface of the table. This is the best way to improve on wrinkles and sun damage.
