Dermaplaning
Dermaplaning is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that involves gently scraping the skin’s surface using a sterile surgical scalpel. This technique effectively removes dead skin cells, built-up debris, and fine vellus hairs, commonly called “peach fuzz.” By exfoliating the outermost layer of the skin, dermaplaning promotes a smoother and more radiant complexion.

How it Works
During a dermaplaning session, a trained professional holds the skin taut and glides a surgical scalpel at a 45-degree angle across the skin’s surface. This motion sloughs off the dead skin cells and vellus hairs, revealing the fresher, smoother skin underneath. The procedure is painless and typically takes around 30 to 45 minutes, making it an ideal lunchtime treatment.
Benefits of Dermaplaning
Dermaplaning offers a plethora of benefits for your skin. Not only does it enhance skin texture and tone, but it also allows for better absorption of skincare products. Additionally, makeup application becomes smoother, and the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles can be reduced.
Combining Dermaplaning with Other Treatments
Dermaplaning can be combined with other skincare treatments like chemical peels or microdermabrasion. This combination enhances the effectiveness of both procedures, leading to even more remarkable results.
Common Misconceptions about Dermaplaning
There are a few misconceptions about dermaplaning, such as the belief that the vellus hairs will grow darker or thicker. In reality, the hair will grow back with the same texture as before.
Before, During, and After
What To Expect Before a Dermaplaning Treatment
The first step is to schedule a consultation with a licensed dermaplaning professional. During this session, you’ll discuss your skincare goals, concerns, and medical history. The practitioner will carefully assess your skin to determine if dermaplaning is the right choice for you. This consultation is also an opportunity to address any questions or doubts you might have about the procedure.
Your practitioner will provide you with a set of guidelines to follow in the days leading up to your dermaplaning session. These guidelines may include avoiding certain skincare products, treatments, and procedures that could potentially irritate or sensitize your skin. It’s important to adhere to these recommendations to ensure the best possible results and minimize any risk of discomfort.
What to Expect During a Dermaplaning Treatment
While undergoing dermaplaning, you can expect a soothing experience. Many clients find the process relaxing, and there is no downtime associated with the procedure. Some redness might occur initially, but it subsides quickly, revealing a glowing complexion.
Using a sterile surgical scalpel, the skilled practitioner will begin the dermaplaning process. Employing a delicate touch and precise technique, they’ll glide the scalpel across your skin at a 45-degree angle. This motion gently exfoliates the surface, removing dead skin cells and vellus hairs without causing any discomfort.
What to Expect After a Dermaplaning Treatment
Right after the procedure, you’ll notice an immediate difference in the appearance of your skin. It will look and feel smoother, with a renewed glow that’s hard to miss. This instant boost in radiance can be especially exciting and satisfying.
One of the perks of dermaplaning is that there’s little to no downtime associated with the procedure. While some clients might experience slight redness immediately following the session, it usually subsides within a few hours. This means you can resume your daily activities almost immediately after leaving the treatment room.
