Everything You Need to Know About Dermaplaning

Dermaplaning is a popular exfoliating treatment that leaves your skin looking smoother, brighter, and more youthful. It's a great option for those seeking a non-invasive way to refresh their complexion.

Dermaplaning is a physical exfoliation method that involves using a sterile surgical scalpel to gently scrape away the top layer of dead skin cells and peach fuzz. We offer this treatment as a standalone service or as an add-on to enhance other facial treatments.

Preparation:

Professional Consultation: Schedule a free consultation with one of our skincare professionals to determine if dermaplaning is suitable for your skin type and concerns.

Skincare Regimen Adjustment: Avoid using exfoliating products or treatments for at least three days prior to your appointment.

Clean Skin: Arrive with clean, makeup-free skin for the best results.

Benefits of Dermaplaning:

Dermaplaning offers a range of benefits, making it an excellent choice for various skin concerns:

Smooth Texture: By removing dead skin cells, dermaplaning leaves your skin feeling incredibly soft and smooth.

Brighter Complexion: The treatment helps to reduce dullness, giving your skin a more radiant appearance.

Better Product Absorption: With the top layer of dead skin removed, skincare products can penetrate more deeply and effectively.

Reduced Fine Lines: Regular dermaplaning sessions can help to minimize the appearance of fine lines over time.

Peach Fuzz Removal: The treatment also removes vellus hair (peach fuzz), resulting in a smoother makeup application.

Treatment Process:

The dermaplaning treatment is straightforward and involves the following steps:

1. Cleansing: Your skin will be thoroughly cleansed to remove any impurities.

2. Dermaplaning: Using a sterile blade, your esthetician will gently scrape away dead skin cells and peach fuzz with precise, light strokes.

3. Moisturization: After the treatment, a soothing moisturizer will be applied to hydrate and calm the skin.

What To Expect:

  • Dermaplaning is generally painless, although you may feel a light scraping sensation.
  • The treatment typically takes about 30-45 minutes.
  • There is no downtime required, and you can return to your normal activities immediately after the session.
  • Your skin may appear slightly red immediately following the treatment, but this usually subsides quickly.

Aftercare:

To maintain the results and ensure proper healing, consider the following aftercare tips:
  • Avoid direct sunlight and wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 to protect your newly exfoliated skin.
  • Keep your skin hydrated with a gentle moisturizer to enhance the healing process.
  • Refrain from using harsh exfoliants or retinoids for at least a week after the treatment to avoid irritation. 

Dermaplaning is a fantastic way to achieve a smoother, brighter, and more youthful-looking complexion. Whether you're looking to improve your skin's texture, enhance product absorption, or simply enjoy a radiant glow, dermaplaning might be the perfect addition to your skincare routine.
