DERMAPLANING
Dermaplaning is a non-invasive skin treatment that may help improve the appearance of your complexion by gently exfoliating the outermost layer of dead skin cells and fine vellus hair (peach fuzz). This medspa service aims to provide an immediate brighter appearance and can enhance the absorption of skincare products, making it a popular choice for those looking to refresh their skin without significant downtime. Whether you’re aiming to improve skin texture, reduce the appearance of fine lines, or achieve a more radiant look, dermaplaning is generally considered a safe option when performed by a qualified practitioner. However, individual results may vary.
What is Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is a cosmetic procedure in which a practitioner uses a sterile surgical blade to gently remove dead skin cells and fine hair from the skin’s surface. This process aims to exfoliate the top layer of the skin, potentially revealing a smoother, softer appearance. It’s suitable for many skin types, especially for those looking to achieve a smoother feel without the use of harsh chemicals or abrasive treatments. A consultation with a professional is recommended to determine if this treatment is appropriate for your specific skin concerns.
About Dermaplaning
How Does Dermaplaning Work?
During a dermaplaning session, a skilled practitioner uses a sterile, surgical-grade scalpel to gently exfoliate the skin's surface. This process removes the build-up of dead skin cells and fine hair, which can contribute to clogged pores and a dull complexion. By removing this layer, dermaplaning may help brighten the skin and allow skincare products to penetrate more effectively, potentially enhancing their benefits. Results can vary, and it's important to have realistic expectations set by a professional.
What to Expect During Dermaplaning
A typical dermaplaning session lasts about 30 to 45 minutes and is performed by a trained practitioner in a medspa setting. The procedure begins with cleansing the skin to remove makeup or impurities. The practitioner then glides a sterile scalpel across the skin at a 45-degree angle, gently exfoliating the surface. The treatment is generally painless and is often described as feeling similar to light brushing or scraping on the skin. Some mild redness or sensitivity may occur post-treatment, but these effects are usually temporary.
