Dermaplaning, such a satisfying treatment!
Dermaplaning is a professional skincare treatment where a trained aesthetician uses a sterile surgical scalpel to gently scrape the surface of the skin to remove dead skin cells and vellus (peach fuzz) hair, resulting in a smoother, brighter complexion and a more radiant appearance. The procedure is painless, non-invasive, and improves skin texture, tone, and radiance, while also promoting better absorption of skincare products.
It’s suitable for most skin types but should be avoided with active acne or inflamed conditions.
How it Works
Preparation: The skin is cleansed and prepared for treatment.
Exfoliation: A trained professional uses a sterile surgical scalpel at a 45-degree angle to gently shave the top layer of dead skin cells (stratum corneum) and vellus hair from the face.
Application: Following the dermaplaning, your provider will apply soothing and protective products, including sunscreen.
Benefits
Exfoliation: Reveals a smoother, brighter complexion by removing dead skin cells.
Removes peach fuzz: Eliminates fine facial hair that can trap dirt and oil.
Improved Product Absorption: Allows skincare products to pe*****te the skin more effectively.
Enhanced Makeup Application: Creates a flawless base for makeup to sit on evenly.
Smoother Skin: Improves overall skin texture and tone.
Addresses Concerns: Can help with fine lines, pigmentation, and acne scarring.
Who is it for?
Dermaplaning is a safe and effective treatment for most people, especially those with sun damage, fine lines, dry patches, or dull skin.
When to Avoid
Dermaplaning is not recommended for individuals with active inflamed acne, rosacea, eczema, psoriasis, or sunburn, as it can cause irritation and spread bacteria.
Hair Regrowth
A common misconception is that hair will grow back thicker, darker, or faster. Experts state that dermaplaning only removes the hair from the skin’s surface and does not affect the hair follicle, so it does not change the way hair grows back.
