DERMAPLANING TREATMENTS
Dermaplaning is a non-invasive skincare treatment that involves the use of a specialized surgical blade to gently scrape away the outermost layer of dead skin cells and fine vellus hairs (peach fuzz) from the surface of the skin. This process is designed to reveal smoother, brighter, and more even-toned skin, while also promoting the growth of healthy new skin cells.
During a dermaplaning treatment, an aesthetics professional will first cleanse and dry your skin before using a small, sterile blade to gently remove the dead skin cells and fine hairs from the surface of the skin. The blade is angled at a 45-degree angle and is gently scraped across the skin in short, upward strokes. The process is painless and does not require any anesthesia.
Dermaplaning is often used to treat a variety of skin concerns, including:
- Dull, dry, or uneven skin tone
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Hyperpigmentation (dark spots)
- Acne scarring
- Rough, textured skin
- Excessive vellus hair (peach fuzz)
One of the main benefits of dermaplaning is that it is a safe and effective treatment for all skin types, including those with sensitive skin or rosacea. It is also a great alternative to more invasive treatments like chemical peels or laser resurfacing.
After a dermaplaning treatment, your skin may be slightly red and sensitive, but this should subside within a few hours. It is important to avoid sun exposure and to use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 to protect your skin from further damage.
Overall, dermaplaning is a quick, painless, and effective way to improve the appearance and health of your skin. If you’re looking for a non-invasive way to achieve smoother, brighter, and more youthful-looking skin, dermaplaning may be the right choice for you.
Dermaplaning can also be combined with other skincare treatments such as chemical peels, microneedling, or facials to enhance their benefits. For example, dermaplaning can help to increase the penetration of skincare products into the skin, making them more effective.
It’s important to note that while dermaplaning is generally safe for most people, it may not be suitable for those with active acne, eczema, or other skin conditions. It is also important to have dermaplaning done by a licensed and trained aesthetics professional to ensure proper technique and safety.
In summary, dermaplaning is a safe and effective way to exfoliate the skin and remove unwanted peach fuzz. It can improve the appearance and texture of the skin, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and enhance the effectiveness of other skincare treatments. If you’re interested in trying dermaplaning, consult with an aesthetics professional to see if it is right for you.
