Dermaplaning
If you are looking for a way to achieve a flawless complexion and remove this fine hair, dermaplaning might be the perfect solution for you. This gentle exfoliation treatment not only gets rid of peach fuzz but also leaves your skin radiant and smooth.
Curious about how dermaplaning can transform your skin? Keep reading to discover its benefits and what to expect from this popular treatment.
What is Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is a non-invasive exfoliation treatment that involves using a sterile surgical scalpel to gently scrape off the top layer of dead skin cells and vellus hair from the face.
This process reveals a smoother, brighter complexion and helps skincare products penetrate more effectively. Unlike other exfoliation methods, dermaplaning is gentle enough for most skin types and offers immediate results without any downtime.
It is an excellent option for those looking to achieve a polished, glowing appearance.
Advantages of Dermaplaning
Dermaplaning offers numerous benefits that make it a popular choice for those seeking to improve their skin’s appearance. Here’s why this treatment stands out:
- Immediate Results. One of the most appealing aspects of dermaplaning is the instant improvement in skin texture and tone. After just one session, your skin will feel noticeably smoother and look more radiant.
- Enhanced Product Absorption. By removing the layer of dead skin cells and peach fuzz, dermaplaning allows skincare products to penetrate deeper and work more effectively. This means you’ll get more out of your serums, moisturizers, and other treatments.
- Smooth Makeup Application. Without vellus hair and dead skin cells creating a barrier, makeup goes on more smoothly and evenly. This makes dermaplaning an excellent choice before special events or photoshoots.
- Gentle and Safe. Dermaplaning is a safe and gentle treatment suitable for most skin types, including sensitive skin. Unlike chemical peels and microdermabrasion, it doesn’t use harsh chemicals or abrasive tools, minimizing the risk of irritation.
What to Expect During Treatment
During a dermaplaning session, our provider will start by thoroughly cleansing your face to remove any makeup, oil, and impurities. Once your skin is clean and dry, they will use a sterile surgical scalpel held at a 45-degree angle to gently scrape away the top layer of dead skin cells and vellus hair.
The procedure is painless, and you may feel a light brushing or scraping sensation on your skin. The entire process typically takes about 30 to 45 minutes. After the treatment, your aesthetician may apply a soothing serum or moisturizer to calm the skin and enhance the benefits of the dermaplaning.
There is no downtime required, so you can immediately return to your normal activities with glowing, refreshed skin.
Aftercare Tips
- Drink plenty of water and use a hydrating moisturizer to keep your skin well-hydrated. Proper hydration supports the healing process and maintains the glow from your treatment.
- Protect your skin from direct sunlight by wearing a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30. Sun protection is crucial to prevent any potential damage and to maintain your skin’s new radiance.
- For the first few days after your treatment, avoid using harsh or abrasive skincare products. Stick to gentle cleansers and moisturizers that support your skin’s recovery.
- Adhere to any specific aftercare instructions provided by our providers. They can offer personalized advice to help you achieve the best possible outcome from your treatment.
