Dermaplaning is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that uses a scalpel to remove peach fuzz and dead skin cells, leaving your face smoother and more radiant. Imagine it as a super- exfoliating procedure that may remove up to two weeks of dead skin cells and produce effects that can last up to three weeks.
How is this different than shaving?
Shaving your face is not the same as derma planing. While shaving simply eliminates peach fuzz and can be done at home, derma planing actually gives exfoliation in addition to hair removal and is also done by a qualified skin care expert.
Dermaplaning vs. Dermabrasion: what is the difference?
Despite the fact that both derma planing and microdermabrasion are exfoliating treatments, derma planing uses the finest micro guards which protect your skin while removing peach fuzz and dead skin whereas, dermabrasion uses tiny crystals and suction to physically remove dead skin cells from the skin without affecting peach fuzz. In general, microdermabrasion is preferable for a deep exfoliation while derma planing is more preferred for hair removal and mild exfoliation.
Benefits of Dermaplaning:
- Exfoliates
- Lightens and brightens skin
- Provides a smoother surface for applying makeup
- Gently removes unwanted peach fuzz
- Softens and smooths skin surface
- Allows for improved product penetration
Post Care Instructions:
After dermaplaning, it’s important to follow specific post-care instructions. This may include using gentle skincare products, avoiding sun exposure, and applying sunscreen regularly to protect the newly revealed skin.
What to Expect:
During the dermaplaning session, patients may experience a gentle scraping sensation as the scalpel exfoliates the skin. There is minimal discomfort if any, and the treatment is generally well-tolerated. Afterward, the skin may appear slightly pink, but this usually subsides within a few hours.
What to and Not to Do After Treatment:
Following dermaplaning, it’s recommended to avoid sun exposure and harsh skincare products for a short period. Makeup can typically be applied immediately after the session, but it’s advisable to use clean brushes and avoid heavy products. Additionally, avoiding exfoliating treatments for a week or two post-dermaplaning is advisable.
Who Shouldn’t Get Treatment:
While dermaplaning is generally safe for most individuals, those with active acne, open wounds, or certain skin conditions may not be suitable candidates. Individuals prone to keloid scarring should consult with their skincare professional before undergoing treatment.
Treatment takes 45 minutes and is not only beneficial but a soothing and relaxing experience.
