DermaFrac and microneedling are the two sought-after medical facials that lead to flawless skin by addressing several skincare concerns.

What is DermaFrac?

DermaFrac is a leading cosmetic treatment that combines all-over coverage of derma rolling with vacuum technology that lifts the skin through microneedles and other procedures. The goal of this treatment is to create micro-channels in the skin to stimulate the natural regenerative response of your body. After this treatment, you will notice an increased blood flow into your skin, along with increased production of collagen, elastin, and fibrin—the three most important proteins that support the skin’s texture and structure.

The best thing about DermaFrac is that it offers a solution to a wide variety of skin problems, such as acne, mild acne scarring, spotty skin, enlarged pores, dull skin, blackheads, wrinkles, fine lines, brown spots, and pigmentation.

Here are the steps involved.

• The first step is microdermabrasion in which the professional removes dead skin cells and prepares your skin for subsequent treatments. This step unclogs pores, smoothens the texture of your skin, and allows for the better absorption of serums.

• The next step is microneedling, which forms the core of the treatment. The professional uses a device comprising fine, sterile needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. This action triggers the natural wound-healing process and stimulates the production of collagen and elastin.

• While microneedling your skin, the professional simultaneously infuses a serum into it. Depending on your skin and its concerns, they may choose from different serum types. For instance, a hydrating serum helps replenish moisture, whereas a brightening serum tackles sun damage and hyperpigmentation.

• The last step of this procedure is LED light therapy. This therapy uses specific wavelengths of light to enhance healing, reduce inflammation, and address specific skincare concerns, such as redness and acne.

What is Microneedling?

Microneedling or collagen induction therapy is a sought-after treatment that is primarily used to address enlarged pores and acne scars. Additionally, this treatment can be combined with other forms of treatments, such as DermaFrac, to address different skincare concerns, including fine lines, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, and more. The procedure involves using fine needles to create hundreds of tiny invisible puncture wounds in the top layer of the skin. The injury so caused triggers the body to heal itself by producing more collagen and elastin.

Here are the steps involved.

• The aesthetician cleanses your skin to remove dirt and other substances, after which they apply numbing cream to the area to reduce pain and discomfort caused during the treatment.

• The microneedling device is moved and rolled across the skin to make tiny holes.

• The healing process of your skin in cell turnover improves as this step leads to the production of elastin and collagen.

• After completing the three steps, the professional applies a calming serum. Depending on your skin concerns, you may want to opt for another few sessions.

What is the Difference Between DermaFrac and Microneedling?

While microneedling only uses a device to penetrate the first layer of the skin to produce more collagen and elastin, DermaFrac combines microneedling with other steps to increase the effectiveness of the treatment and address other skincare conditions.

The steps like serum infusion and LED light therapy ensure that your skin’s various other concerns are taken care of. DermaFrac uses a unique rolling system to glide over skin to create microchannels. The device used in traditional microneedling is a little different—it has a higher level of precision and depth.

Which Procedure is Better?

Deciding which procedure is better out of the two is subjective. While some people may benefit from just microneedling, others may want to opt for DermaFrac—a combination of skincare procedures to get the skin of their dreams. In the best practice, you must leave the decision of choosing what’s right for you to your dermatologist.
