What is Dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning is a non-invasive exfoliation treatment that involves the use of a surgical scalpel to gently remove dead skin cells and fine vellus hair (peach fuzz) from the surface of the skin. This manual exfoliation process reveals fresh, healthy skin underneath, resulting in a smoother, more radiant complexion.

What Concerns Can Dermaplaning Treat?

Dermaplaning is a versatile treatment that can effectively address a variety of common skincare concerns, including:

Dull Skin:

By removing the outermost layer of dead skin cells, dermaplaning can instantly brighten and rejuvenate dull, lackluster skin, leaving it looking fresh and radiant.

Uneven Texture:

Dermaplaning can help improve the texture of the skin by smoothing out rough patches, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and promoting cell turnover.

Hyperpigmentation:

Dermaplaning can help lighten and even out skin tone by removing surface pigmentation and promoting the growth of new, healthy skin cells.

Acne Scars:

Dermaplaning can help minimize the appearance of acne scars by exfoliating the outer layers of the skin and promoting collagen production, resulting in smoother, more evenly textured skin.

What to Expect Before Treatment:

Before undergoing dermaplaning, it's essential to schedule a consultation with a qualified skincare professional to discuss your concerns, goals, and medical history. During this consultation, your provider will assess your skin type and determine if dermaplaning is suitable for you.

Preparing For Your Dermaplaning Treatment:

1. 1. Discontinue Certain Skincare Products:
   Your provider may advise you to temporarily stop using certain skincare products, such as retinoids or exfoliants, in the days leading up to your treatment to minimize irritation and sensitivity.
2. 2. Avoid Sun Exposure:
   It's important to avoid excessive sun exposure and tanning beds in the weeks leading up to your treatment, as sunburned or tan skin can increase the risk of complications.
3. 3. Communicate Your Concerns:
   Be sure to communicate any specific concerns or preferences you have with your skincare provider to ensure that your dermaplaning treatment is tailored to meet your needs.

What to Expect During Treatment

During your dermaplaning treatment, you can expect the following steps:

1. 1. Cleansing:
   Your skin will be thoroughly cleansed to remove makeup, dirt, and oil, allowing for better penetration of the scalpel.
2. 2. Dermaplaning:
   Using a sterile surgical scalpel, your provider will gently glide the blade across the surface of your skin to remove dead skin cells and fine vellus hair. This process is painless and typically takes about 30 to 45 minutes to complete.
3. 3. Moisturizing:
   After dermaplaning, your provider will apply a soothing moisturizer or hydrating serum to replenish and nourish your skin, leaving it feeling soft and hydrated.
4. 4. Improve Results:
   Dermaplaning can be combined with a chemical peel, microdermabrasion or a facial for improved effectiveness.

What to Expect After Treatment

After your dermaplaning treatment, you may experience some temporary side effects, including:

1. 1. Redness:
   Mild redness or irritation may occur immediately after dermaplaning, but this usually subsides within a few hours.
2. 2. Sensitivity:
   Your skin may be more sensitive to sunlight and certain skincare products in the days following dermaplaning, so it's important to protect your skin with sunscreen and gentle skincare.
3. 3. Hydration:
   Your skin may feel smoother, softer, and more hydrated immediately after dermaplaning, with continued improvement in texture and tone over the following days.

 

To maximize the results of your dermaplaning treatment and promote optimal skin health:

1. 1. Stay Hydrated:
   Drinking plenty of water can help hydrate your skin and promote healing and cell turnover.
2. 2. Protect Your Skin:
   It's essential to protect your skin from sun exposure by wearing a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher and avoiding prolonged sun exposure.
3. 3. Follow Post-Treatment Guidelines:
   Your provider will provide specific instructions on how to care for your skin after dermaplaning, which may include gentle cleansing, moisturizing, and avoiding certain skincare products or treatments.
4. 4. Maintain Your Results:
   Regularly using sunscreen and medical-grade skin care can prolong your results after a chemical peel
