Dermaplaning & Dermabrasion
This manual exfoliation technique leaves the skin looking smoother, more radiant, and allows skincare products to penetrate more effectively.
What are Dermaplaning & Dermabrasion?
Dermaplaning is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that involves the use of a sterile surgical scalpel to gently remove the top layer of dead skin cells and fine vellus hair, commonly known as "peach fuzz." This manual exfoliation technique leaves the skin looking smoother, more radiant, and allows skincare products to penetrate more effectively.
How They Work
During a Dermaplaning session, a trained skincare professional uses a scalpel at a 45-degree angle to carefully scrape away dead skin cells and fine hairs from the surface of the skin. This process not only exfoliates the skin but also stimulates cell turnover, promoting a fresh and rejuvenated complexion.
Treatment Areas
Dermaplaning is typically performed on the face, including the forehead, cheeks, chin, and the area around the lips. It is an excellent option for addressing dull skin, fine lines, and achieving an overall smoother texture.
Candidacy, Safety & Side Effects
Dermaplaning is suitable for most skin types, but individuals with active acne or certain skin conditions may not be ideal candidates. A consultation with a skincare professional can help determine whether Dermaplaning is the right choice for your specific skin concerns.
Results, Longevity & Maintenance
The results of Dermaplaning are immediate. After the treatment, you can expect to see smoother skin with a more radiant complexion. Makeup application becomes smoother, and skincare products are absorbed more efficiently, maximizing their effectiveness.
Prep & Appointment Expectations
Before a Dermaplaning session, it's advisable to discontinue the use of retinoids and exfoliating products for a few days. Cleanse your skin thoroughly, and avoid sun exposure to minimize the risk of irritation.
Aftercare
Post-treatment, it's essential to protect your skin from the sun by using a broad-spectrum sunscreen. Hydrating and nourishing skincare products are recommended to support the skin's healing process.
Pain, Healing & Downtime
Dermaplaning is a virtually painless procedure, and many patients find it relaxing. There is minimal downtime associated with Dermaplaning, and patients can resume their regular activities immediately after the treatment.
