Everything There is to Know About Dermaplaning
Seeking a gentle yet effective exfoliation method for your skin? Consider dermaplaning. This technique removes layers of dead skin, unveiling a radiant complexion. But what does dermaplaning involve? Essentially, it’s like shaving the face using a precise, medical-grade scalpel.
What is dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is a skin rejuvenation procedure designed to eliminate dead skin and fine vellus facial hair, commonly known as peach fuzz, resulting in a more radiant and smoother complexion. Our skilled medical aesthetician uses a medical-grade scalpel to gently remove unwanted dead skin cells and hair. This treatment is entirely safe, painless, and requires no downtime.
Dermaplane vs. Shaving
A key distinction between Dermaplane and at-home facial shaving lies in the tools utilized. Dermaplaning employs a medical-grade scalpel, while home shaving typically involves a razor. Consequently, Dermaplane offers a more vigorous approach to removing dead skin cells and fine vellus hair. Additionally, whereas a typical razor may feature 2-3 blades, dermaplaning utilizes a single medical-grade scalpel blade.
Benefits
Regular dermaplaning treatments offer numerous benefits, such as:
- Enhanced skin texture
- Elimination of vellus hair and dead skin cells
- Boosts product absorption and effectiveness
- Stimulates cellular regeneration
- Reduces frequency of acne breakouts
- Diminishes fine lines and wrinkles
- No downtime required
- Ideal option for sensitive skin due to its non-invasive and gentle nature
- Brightens skin tone and diminishes hyperpigmentation
- Suitable for all skin types
What can I expect during my dermaplaning treatment?
The starting point of a dermaplane treatment involves a meticulous cleansing of the skin to create a sterile and hygienic surface. At Allure Aesthetic Center, we utilize a peel prep to remove the skin’s natural oils, ensuring optimal outcomes. The process commences along the jawline and progresses upward, with the blade maintained at a constant 45-degree angle as the practitioner gently strokes it upward. Following each session, moisturizer and SPF sunscreen are administered to preserve proper hydration and protect the skin.
Who should get dermaplaning done?
Dermaplaning is universally safe for all skin types and is especially beneficial for individuals with sensitive skin. However, there are exceptions where dermaplaning may not be suitable, including cases of inflamed acne, multiple raised skin lesions, open wounds, nickel allergies, or recent Accutane use within 6 months prior to treatment.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will my hair grow back darker and thicker?
Dermaplaning focuses on vellus facial hair, which is fine and lighter in color compared to terminal hair. Since dermaplaning does not affect the hair follicle directly, it does not have the capability to change the growth pattern.
How do I take care of my skin after a dermaplaning treatment?
Following your treatment, your skin is in a vulnerable state as the outer layers have been exfoliated. It’s vital to use mild cleansers and moisturizers for at least 2 days before your appointment.
Why should I get a dermaplane instead of other skin care treatments?
By exfoliating the top layer of dead skin cells, the likelihood of these cells becoming trapped in your pores significantly decreases. This results in fewer breakouts and promotes smooth, exfoliated skin.
How often should I get a dermaplane treatment?
It’s advisable to undergo dermaplaning once every three to four weeks. With each session, approximately two to three weeks’ worth of dead skin cells are removed.
