We all want smooth and rejuvenated skin, but is a glowing complexion truly achievable? With a simple, chemical-free facial treatment known as dermaplaning, it can be. Dermaplaning is a noninvasive procedure best performed by skincare experts to minimize scarring and brighten your natural complexion. To determine whether or not this treatment is the solution for you, learn about how it works, what to expect, and aftercare details to maintain results.
What is Dermaplaning & What Does it Treat?
Dermaplaning exfoliates the surface layers of your skin by scraping off dead skin cells with the use of a medical-grade scalpel, resulting in a smoother and brighter complexion. This procedure is simple, noninvasive, and chemical-free, meaning it is a painless way to see desired skincare results. Dermaplaning is a popular procedure primarily known for delivering advanced physical exfoliation, but it also offers additional benefits, such as enhancing the absorption and effectiveness of skincare products and removing light facial peach fuzz for a smoother complexion.
How Does Dermaplaning Work?
Dermaplaning works to shave off dead skin cells and hair by the blade of a medical-grade scalpel moving back and forth across your face. The scalpel will not cut into your skin, and may just feel like a slight scratching through the duration of the procedure. With the outer layers of skin removed, your face will appear smoother, brighter, and more refreshed. Light discolorations and wrinkles will be less visible as a new, fresh layer of your skin is revealed.
Why Visit a Skin Care Expert for Dermaplaning?
At-home dermaplaning is widely popular and can be a beneficial option for people looking to save on treating their skin. However, clinical dermaplaning goes beyond the tools available at home and allows you to experience far more radiant results. Our skilled skin care experts are equipped with surgical-grade scalpels, which provide deeper exfoliation and ensure every layer of dead skin cells is removed.
Benefits of Dermaplane Facial Treatments
Depending on your individual skin needs, there are a wide variety of benefits to receiving a dermaplaning treatment, including:
- Brighter & Smoother Complexion
- Reduced Acne Scarring
- Rejuvenated, Wrinkle-Free Skin
- Eliminated Small Facial Hairs & Peach Fuzz
- Improved At-Home Skin Care Results
What to Expect During Your Dermaplane Appointment
Shortly before your dermaplaning appointment, take some to examine your skin and ensure it is healthy for the procedure. Ideally, your face will be free from fresh acne breakouts or open/inflamed lesions. The dermaplaning procedure itself will be quite quick, typically taking between 20 to 30 minutes. It’s possible to pair dermaplaning with another facial treatment, so some patients will elect to receive a different procedure immediately after. Otherwise, your practitioner will apply sunscreen to your face and review aftercare expectations before you can return to your regular daily activities.
How Much Does Dermaplaning Cost?
Dermaplaning is widely considered to be one of the most affordable skin treatments offered by medical spas. For an exact quote based on your specific needs and what other patients typically pay for dermaplaning, we recommend reviewing our pricing estimator tool or scheduling a consultation with our experts.
Dermaplaning Aftercare & Results
Side effects of dermaplaning are typically quite limited, but redness immediately after the procedure are common. You may experience warm, flushed, or itchy skin in the days after your treatment. To ensure the best results and proper healing, treat your skin with care by using gentle, soothing products. Your skin care regimen is more likely to penetrate deeper after dermaplaning, so ensure you’re not using anything too harsh that could cause irritation. Avoid direct sunlight and heavy makeup to let your sensitive skin safely heal. Results are visible immediately and typically last for 3-4 weeks, so many patients choose to schedule their next dermaplaning appointment after this period.
