Dermaplaning
Dermaplaning
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)
