Dermaplaning

Dermaplaning is a procedure in which a medical scalpel is used to delicately exfoliate the top layer of dead skin cells and remove fine facial hair, also known as “peach fuzz” or “vellus” hair. It can be used as an alternative to laser and microdermabrasion treatments, or in combination with them for an enhanced effect. This procedure will make your skin appear more radiant. After the treatment, it is easier to apply makeup and other skincare products are able to penetrate the skin more deeply, making them more effective.

At a 45-degree angle, the skin specialist will glide a medical-grade precision blade across your face. This will take between 20 and 30 minutes. Following the treatment, your provider will apply a nourishing mask to hydrate and protect your newly radiant skin. Additionally, we apply sunscreen to prevent damage to your newly treated skin from the sun’s harmful rays. You will feel no discomfort throughout the procedure.

Dermaplaning works best on people who have mature, dry, rough, or uneven skin. Acne scars, wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation that are close to the skin’s surface might all benefit from a dermaplaning treatment.

Dermaplaning is acceptable for most skin types, however it should be avoided by persons who have highly sensitive skin, severe acne outbreaks, or inflammatory skin diseases such as rosacea or eczema. Dermaplaning is also not recommended for pregnant or nursing women. In these circumstances, dermaplaning may cause the skin to become more irritated and may even spread an infection.

Certainly not! We cannot perform dermaplaning on the lower portion of your face and neck if you have a beard, but we can treat the remainder of your face and neck. Moreover, this treatment is ideal for men with folliculitis and can be combined with a chemical peel and LED Light Therapy.

During dermaplaning, the skin’s surface is gently scraped in order to achieve the desired results. Most people associate pain with hair removal methods like waxing and threading, but Dermaplaning is completely painless. Minor cuts to the skin are possible during Dermaplaning, however the pressure applied is not enough to cause a deep cut. Minor cuts and scratches like these normally heal within 24-48 hours.

You can get this treatment every three to four weeks. Due to the fact that the treatment itself eliminates the equivalent of 21 days’ worth of dead skin, it is recommended that you wait at least that long before scheduling another session.

Overall, dermaplaning is better. Shaving only removes facial vellus hair, also known as “peach fuzz.” Professional dermaplaning, despite the fact that it can also eliminate vellus hair, is primarily an exfoliation treatment for the epidermis. The process of dermaplaning removes skin cells that have been damaged by environmental toxins, irritants, and sun exposure. Consequently, it has the additional benefits of smoother skin and a hairless, more radiant complexion!

Exfoliation of the skin can be achieved using either method. Microdermabrasion also exfoliates the surface of the skin, although it does not do it as fully or deeply as dermaplaning does. Vellus hair, commonly known as peach fuzz, and dead skin cells are removed from the skin during the dermaplaning procedure.

No. On the body, there are two distinct forms of hair: vellus hair and terminal hair. Vellus hair is present on the majority of the body, except the palms, soles, lips, and genital regions, whereas terminal hairs are located on the scalp, underarms, and pubic region. Vellus hair regrows at the same rate and with the same texture.
