You might feel overwhelmed by the many options available when considering beauty treatments.
At MD Cosmetic, we’ve discovered that combining treatments can lead to better results and more value for your money.
In this post, we’ll explore how to safely stack beauty treatments using a sample of dermaplaning and microneedling.
What is Treatment Stacking?
Treatment stacking is an approach to addressing skin issues by combining complementary procedures to get the best results.
This is because skin problems are rarely monolithic. By stacking these treatments, you can address your skin’s needs holistically.
Before considering this approach, here’s what you need to consider.
Factors to Consider with Beauty Treatment Stacking
- Safety & Efficiency
Certain treatments work together to make each other more effective. This is because they target different layers of the skin, addressing various aspects simultaneously.
By targeting every layer, the treatments achieve superior results.
But, a common concern of this approach is safety. Is it possible for one treatment’s side effects to worsen or create new side effects when interacting with another treatment?
At MD Cosmetic, we only recommend stacking treatments that are safe together. During your consultation, we also consider your medical history to determine the most suitable stack for you.
- Reduced Downtime & Recovery Time
Separate treatments on different days can increase downtime and disrupt your schedule.
Because each treatment has its recovery period, stacking them can reduce the number of appointments you need, save you time and effort, and shorten your overall recovery time.
If you’re a busy person, stacking can also allow healing to occur concurrently. This way, you can make the most out of your visit(s) by effectively maximizing your downtime.
- Cost Effectiveness
It’s true that beauty treatments can be expensive. But they are an investment in your skin’s appearance and health.
In addition to healthy financial practices, such as budgeting, you can save money by stacking treatments, especially when they are offered at discounted rates.
During your consultation, remember to ask if there are any current promotions or discounts.
Sample Stacking: Dermaplaning vs Microneedling
Dermaplaning is a non-invasive exfoliation treatment that makes your skin smoother, brighter, and more receptive to skincare products.
On the other hand, microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure that helps with conditions such as acne scars, fine lines, wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation. Creating tiny punctures in the skin stimulates collagen and elastin production to improve overall skin texture and tone.
Dermaplaning vs Microneedling: Key Differences
Mechanism:
- Dermaplaning: Physically removes dead skin cells.
- Microneedling: Triggers the body’s natural healing response to produce more collagen and elastin.
Downtime:
- Dermaplaning: Minimal downtime.
- Microneedling: May require a few days for recovery.
Targeted Concerns:
- Dermaplaning: Addresses surface concerns, such as dull skin.
- Microneedling: Tackles deeper issues, such as scarring and wrinkles.
Dermaplaning vs Microneedling: Benefits
These treatments offer unique benefits, such as:
Dermaplaning:
- Enhanced Skincare Absorption: Removes dead skin cells that can act as a barrier, allowing skincare products to penetrate deeper for better results.
- Minimal Downtime: A quick procedure with little to no downtime, perfect if you have a busy schedule.
Microneedling:
- Reduced Scars and Wrinkles: Helps diminish the appearance of acne scars, fine lines, and wrinkles.
- Improved Overall Skin Texture and Tone: Reduces hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone, giving a smoother complexion.
When this duo is stacked together, they enhance the benefits of each treatment, giving you a natural glow, with or without makeup.
How to Combine Dermaplaning and Microneedling
Dermaplaning and microneedling together rejuvenate your skin by addressing surface and deeper skin concerns. The process usually starts with dermaplaning to exfoliate the skin and remove dead cells and peach fuzz. This prepares the skin for microneedling, allowing better absorption of topical serums.
Microneedling then creates micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating collagen production to improve overall skin appearance and health.
