  This non-surgical treatment has become a widely-used treatment for those looking to get a deep exfoliation, remove “peach fuzz” facial hair and aid in achieving even skin tone. Don’t let the blade scare you! This safe and effective treatment yields incredible results and leaves your skin incredibly soft and smooth. Here is why you should consider dermaplaning.  

What is Dermaplaning?  The dermaplaning procedure is much simpler than it might sound! This painless treatment involves a sterile and gentle scalpel to take off surface debris, dirt, oil, dead skin cells and even “peach fuzz” (vellus hair).  Dermaplaning removes the top layer of skin, which triggers collagen production, leading to firmer and smoother skin. The collagen will also help heal acne scars and discoloration over a period of time.  

Benefits of Dermaplaning    

Non-surgical  

More gentle than microdermabrasion (great for sensitive skin!) 

 Minimal redness  

Deeply exfoliating  

Removes vellus hair  

Does not cause trauma to the skin, like some other procedures 

Increases product absorption 

Minimizes the appearance of pores  

Removes dry, dead skin cells on the surface layer (a.k.a. the stratum corneum)  

Stimulates circulation at the blood and lymph level (to help with healing) 

 Improves elasticity and texture of the skin  

Reduces hyperpigmentation, acne scars and evens skin tone 

Creates smooth, silky skin for flawless makeup application   

 You should not receive  Dermaplaning if you have any of the following

Active acne (grade 3 or 4) 

Diabetes (uncontrolled, not under medical supervision)  

Blood thinners  

Tendency towards keloid scarring  

Recent treatments, including: laser, chemical peels, plastic surgery, microdermabrasion (on

           average 2-3 weeks post treatment, discuss with your esthetician)  

Certain medications that thin the skin (i.e. Retin A and Accutane)    

 Aftercare Treatment  

Proper post care is extremely important in helping your skin heal after dermaplaning just like if you were to receive a microderm treatment of chemical peel.    

Do not wash your face for 12 hours post-treatment  

Avoid the sun, heat or exercising for 24 hours—increasing the body temperature can cause irritation (and possibly injury) to the fresh skin  

Wear sunscreen and moisturizer 

Occasional stinging, redness and/or itching can occur during the first 24 hours, post-treatment. A calming serum is applied to alleviate these sensations. 

 Refrain from picking, peeling and/or scratching you may tear the skin surface causing a wound (and preventing normal healing)
