What Is Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is a treatment where the top layer of the skin is shaved away using a small surgical blade. This process can reduce the appearance of acne scars, restore brighter and softer skin, remove fine vellus hairs, and help the skin absorb skin treatments more effectively.
How Does Dermaplaning Work?
Dermaplaning works by gently removing dead skin cells on the upper layers of the skin to address acne scars, sun damage, fine wrinkles, or dry skin. The treatment can also remove fine hairs on the face.
Dermaplaning is usually combined with a chemical peel or laser treatment to help the skin get the full benefits from the treatment.
What Are the Benefits of Dermaplaning?
In addition to removing the rough outer portion of the dermis, dermaplaning also helps to remove unwanted vellus hair also known as “peach fuzz”. This makes dermaplaning an effective skin resurfacing treatment that reveals your inner glow.
Am I a Good Candidate for Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is a quick non-invasive treatment for smoother-looking skin. The best candidates are healthy individuals who are about to undergo a chemical peel or laser treatment session. It also works best for individuals who are undergoing facial treatments to help the skin absorb serums better.
Those with medical conditions like skin cancer may not be considered for dermaplaning. Consult with us to ensure that this treatment is right for you.
Your Dermaplaning Consultation
A dermaplaning consultation focuses on your appearance goals and your complete medical history. Once it is confirmed that you have no medical condition that could result in complications, you can receive a dermaplaning treatment right away.
We will give you an overview of how many dermaplaning sessions you will need in order to see significant improvement.
Since the treatment is non-invasive, you won’t have to prepare in any special way. It is recommended to avoid sun exposure, retinoids, Botox or filler appointments, or facial waxing at least a week before your dermaplaning appointment.
How Should I Prepare Before Dermaplaning
Before your dermaplaning session, there are a few simple steps to ensure your experience is optimal. First, consult with our experts to discuss your skin concerns and goals. Avoid any sun exposure, tanning, or waxing for at least a week before your treatment.
On the day of your appointment, ensure your skin is clean and free of makeup. Our team will guide you through any other necessary pre-treatment preparations.
What to Expect During the Treatment
During your dermaplaning facial at White Diamond Medical Clinic & Spa, our skilled specialists will use a precise scalpel to gently remove the top layer of dead skin cells and vellus hair, often referred to as “peach fuzz.” The process is painless and yields immediate results. You’ll experience smoother, softer skin and a more even complexion.
Dermaplaning Aftercare
After your dermaplaning session, your skin may be slightly more sensitive to the sun, so it’s essential to apply sunscreen regularly. You can resume your usual skincare routine the following day. Your skin will look and feel refreshed that applying makeup feels smoother.
How Often Can Dermaplaning Be Performed?
Dermaplaning can be performed as often as twice per month.
Is Dermaplaning Painful?
Dermaplaning is generally painless.
Dermafacial (Dermaplane w/Facial)
Dermaplaning can be combined with a facial for maximum exfoliation and relaxation. Once the dead skin and vellus hair is removed, enzymes are applied for extra exfoliation followed by a mask and massage.
Dermapeel (Dermaplaning w/Chemical Peel)
While dermaplaning and chemical peels are effective apart, they work synergistically together. Dermaplaning helps to remove the outer layers of the skin, making the chemical solution in a chemical peel far more effective. Since dermaplaning enables the acidic solution to reach deeper levels of the dermis, the chemical solution in a combination treatment does not require as many passes as if used independently.
