How does dermaplaning work?

Dermaplaning is a noninvasive aesthetic treatment that removes the outermost layer of dead skin. A form of physical exfoliation, this treatment delivers outstanding results without intruding on the deeper layers of your skin. 

Some of the outcomes of dermaplaning sessions include:

• Softer skin
• Glowing complexion
• More even skin tone
• Clearer pores
• Smoothed fine lines and wrinkles

Dermaplaning also removes all of the peach fuzz hair growth in the treated area. The treatment is performed by hand using a sterile, scalpel-like tool. 

What should I expect during my dermaplaning session?

There’s no need for any advance preparation prior to your visit. While you rest comfortably, your practitioner cleanses your skin before gliding the dermaplaning tool over your skin’s surface. The tool is held at a 45-degree angle to safely and effectively remove dead skin, debris, and facial hair. 

If you have susceptible skin, your practitioner can apply a numbing cream before your dermaplaning session begins. Dermaplaning isn’t a painful experience. You’ll feel the tool move across your skin, but the blade never extends into the deeper layers.  

After your sessions, minimal redness, swelling, and soreness are to be expected. Your skin quickly adjusts, and the treatment area should feel and look normal within a couple of days. There’s no extensive recovery time needed, but take care to protect your skin from the sun and avoid harsh products for a few days. 

Am I a good candidate for dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning is a great medical aesthetics option for people who aren’t good candidates for light-based therapies like laser treatments or intense-pulsed laser (IPL) therapy. It’s also a great way to achieve improvement in the look and feel of your skin without chemical formulations.

That said, dermaplaning isn’t right for everyone. If you have any of the following conditions, speak with your practitioner to determine if dermaplaning is right for you:

• Acne
• Rosacea
• Psoriasis
• Eczema

Dermaplaning shouldn’t be performed if you have sunburned skin. If you experience a sunburn, you may need to postpone your visit until your skin has healed completely.
