Dermaplaning is an in-office skincare treatment that helps to gently exfoliate your face with a sharp blade or scalpel…sounds scary but it’s completely harmless (if done correctly by an aesthetician)! The sharp blade gently exfoliates the skin while skimming off the dead skin cells and any peach fuzz. The build-up of dead skin cells can make your skin look uneven or dull over time. Dermaplaning can help remove any barriers and will help your skincare work more effectively and have a nice clean canvas for easier makeup application. Sounds pretty great right? So what exactly are the benefits of dermaplaning?
Since this treatment is a quick in-office procedure, the results are immediate. After the treatment, the patient’s face is visibly brighter. When the blade is used to exfoliate and removes peach fuzz your face reveals a more fresh and youthful appearance. Dermplaning is good for all skin types, especially for more dry skin types. This non-invasive treatment is relatively quick taking only 30 to 45 minutes and is usually performed every three to four weeks. There is also no prep time or downtime with this treatment which makes it easier to fit into your regular schedule. Dermaplaning can reduce fine lines and exposes younger-looking skin due to the exfoliation and removal of dead skin and peach fuzz and it also promotes collagen production.
Another benefit of dermaplaning is helping your facial cells regrow. This allows skin care products such as serums and moisturizers to seep deeper into the skin making your skincare products more effective. This procedure can help patients with dry and uneven skin tones because it gets rid of the cracked epidermis and can even take away some types of acne scars. Your skin can even be less prone to breakouts after the treatment since it helps to unclog pores.
Although there are many great benefits to dermaplaning, there are also some things to keep in mind. Dermatologists do not recommend this procedure for patients who have cystic acne, excessively oily skin types, or people with excessive facial hair growth. Results may also depend on how your skin reacts to exfoliation since everyone’s skin is different. Dermaplaning makes the skin look and feel smoother, and can reduce the appearance of fine lines and acne scars. Your skin may also look and feel younger because of the stimulation of the new skin cells.
