Dermaplaning is a non-invasive way to achieve skin exfoliation. It works by using a sterile, surgical blade to gently scrape off dulling dead skin cells from the skin’s surface to reveal a smoother, brighter complexion.
It is a favorite among many because of its two key benefits. It not only removes the dead skin cells and external debris from the skin’s surface, but it also removes fine vellus hairs – also known as “peach fuzz”.
This skin rejuvenation treatment gently moves a sterile blade across the skin’s surface. This removes all the dead skin cells and debris that can dull your skin. This procedure produces a more radiant appearance with instant results.
Following this treatment, makeup application is smoother. Additionally, skin products are able to penetrate deeper, making them more effective.
Dermaplaning is an ideal option for anyone with fine facial hair, unusually sensitive skin, or rosacea. The only people who dermaplaning is not recommended for are those with acne-prone skin. Oil from the sebaceous glands needs to travel along the villous hair to be excreted. So when the hair is removed, the oil can build up and block glands on the face. This in turn causes breakouts for people who are prone to them. In addition, anyone with numerous raised lesions or skin irregularities or a nickel allergy should not undergo dermaplaning.
When it comes to dermaplaning and use of the sharp blade used, the procedure is safe when performed by a trained and licensed provider. In short, when you are in expert hands, you minimize any risk. Dermaplaning is no more dangerous than a man getting a facial shave from a barbershop, as long as the provider is qualified and knows what they are doing.
When patients hear about the use of a scalpel, this is often their first concern. But dermaplaning causes zero pain during or after the procedure! In fact, it feels more like the sensation of shaving your legs. However, it is important to lie still and make no sudden movements. Since there is a sharp blade involved, being still prevents any unwanted nicks.
Dermaplaning can be performed approximately every 3-4 weeks or once the skin has completed its next rejuvenation cycle. In order for it to be effective and worthwhile, dead skin cells need to accumulate again. Also, the vellus hairs (peach fuzz) would have to grow back. You can undergo a single Dermaplane treatment if you want radiant skin for a specific event. Or you can do dermaplaning treatments once a month to maintain radiant skin all the time.
Dermaplaning is a quick procedure and usually takes about 30 minutes to do the entire face, unless you are combining it with another treatment.
