Dermaplaning: What You Should Know

Every day our skin, especially our face, is exposed to elements that can cause our skin to lose its natural radiance and youthfulness. Many of us want to correct issues caused by exposure such as fine lines, acne scars, dull, and dry skin but don't want to experience the risks associated with many medical spa treatments. If you are hesitant to seek chemically-invasive treatments, dermaplaning may be the perfect solution for you, continue reading to learn more!

What is Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is a procedure that painlessly corrects skin blemishes caused by natural aging and exposure to toxins, irritants, sunlight. Your treatment will be administered in a clean, comfortable environment to ensure an optimal experience. During the procedure, a licensed provider will use a tool that resembles a razor you would use to shave at home. As the razor is applied to the skin at a specific angle it removes dead skin cells and scar tissue, leaving your skin with a more even and youthful appearance in as little as 30 minutes!

What are the Benefits?

• Removes dead surface skin cells which instantly gives skin a more youthful appearance while stimulating cell turnover below the skin.
  
  
• Unlike more invasive chemical treatments that can require a lot of downtime following the procedure, dermaplaning has little risk of adverse side effects, so you can rejuvenate your skin during your lunch break.
  
  
• Dermaplaning targets multiple skin issues including acne scars, dull and dry skin, sun-damage, and fine lines.
  
  
• During the procedure, the fine hairs on the face, or peach fuzz, are removed. The removal of the fine hairs benefits the overall health of the skin because they tend to accumulate oil and dirt that cause skin issues.
  
  

Before and After Care
Prior to your dermaplaning treatment, it is important to have a consultation with your licensed provider so they can assess your skin and ensure the best treatment for you. It is also important to ensure you avoid anything that can irritate your skin prior to your treatment appointment, such as limiting sun exposure to lower the risk of sunburn.

Following your dermaplaning treatment, results can last from 4-8 weeks with a proper at-home skincare regimen. Use a gentle cleanser, rinsing with cool water, to remove makeup, oil, and other debris from your skin. Hyaluronic serums can help elevate and maintain your dermaplaning results by hydrating skin, further reducing the appearance of acne scars and fine line wrinkles. Finally, always use a lightweight moisturizer that contains protection from the skin-damaging UVA & UVB rays of the sun.
