Description

Dermaplaning is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that involves using a sterile surgical scalpel to gently exfoliate the outer layer of dead skin cells and remove fine vellus hair, commonly known as "peach fuzz," from the surface of the skin. Here's an overview of the dermaplaning treatment process: Consultation: Before undergoing dermaplaning, you'll typically have a consultation with a qualified aesthetician or dermatologist. During this consultation, your skin concerns, medical history, and expectations will be discussed to determine if dermaplaning is suitable for you. Preparation: The treatment area is thoroughly cleansed to remove any makeup, oil, or debris from the skin. Some providers may apply a prepping solution to further cleanse and degrease the skin. Dermaplaning Procedure: The aesthetician or dermatologist will hold the skin taut and gently glide a sterile surgical scalpel at a 45-degree angle across the skin's surface. The scalpel blade removes the outermost layer of dead skin cells and fine vellus hair, leaving the skin smooth and radiant. The procedure is typically painless and may feel similar to shaving. However, it's essential to seek treatment from a trained professional to minimize the risk of cuts or irritation. Optional Treatments: Depending on your skincare needs, dermaplaning may be combined with other treatments such as chemical peels, hydrating masks, or serums to enhance results. Post-Treatment Care: After dermaplaning, your skin may be slightly red or sensitive, similar to mild sunburn, but this typically subsides within a few hours. It's essential to follow any post-treatment instructions provided by your provider, which may include avoiding sun exposure, using gentle skincare products, and applying sunscreen. Makeup application can typically be resumed immediately after treatment, but it's advisable to use clean, non-comedogenic products to prevent clogging pores. Results: Following dermaplaning, you can expect to see immediate improvements in skin texture, smoothness, and brightness. Makeup application may appear smoother and more even, as the removal of vellus hair allows for better product penetration and adherence. For best results, dermaplaning treatments are often recommended every 4-6 weeks as part of a regular skincare routine.
