Dermaplaning
Dermaplaning is a popular cosmetic procedure that involves using a sterile blade to gently scrape away the top layer of dead skin cells and vellous hair (peach fuzz) from the face. It's a quick and relatively painless procedure that can be performed in a dermatologist's office or even at home with the right tools and technique.
BENEFITS OF DERMAPLANING
-
Exfoliation: Dermaplaning effectively removes the dead skin cell buildup that can make your skin look dull and uneven. This reveals a brighter, smoother complexion.
-
Hair Removal: It also removes vellous hair, the fine, light hair often referred to as "peach fuzz," which can trap dirt and oil, contributing to breakouts.
-
Improved Product Absorption: By removing the dead skin cell barrier, dermaplaning allows skincare products to penetrate the skin more effectively, maximizing their benefits.
-
Smoother Makeup Application: With the removal of peach fuzz and dead skin cells, makeup goes on smoother and more evenly, creating a flawless finish.
-
Minimal Downtime: Dermaplaning is a non-invasive procedure with no downtime, allowing you to return to your normal activities immediately.
WHAT TO EXPECT DURING A DERMAPLANING TREATMENT
-
Preparation: Your skin will be cleansed and prepped for the procedure.
-
The Procedure: The aesthetician or dermatologist will hold the blade at a 45-degree angle and gently glide it across your skin, removing the dead skin cells and vellous hair.
-
Post-Treatment Care: Your skin may be slightly red or sensitive after the treatment. Your provider may apply a soothing serum or moisturizer.
IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS
-
Professional vs. At-Home: While at-home dermaplaning tools are available, it's generally recommended to have the procedure done by a qualified professional for safety and optimal results.
-
Not for Everyone: Dermaplaning may not be suitable for those with certain skin conditions, such as active acne, rosacea, or eczema. Consult with your dermatologist or aesthetician to determine if it's right for you.
-
Hair Regrowth: The hair removed during dermaplaning is vellous hair, not the thicker, terminal hair. It will grow back, but it won't be thicker or darker.
-
Frequency: Dermaplaning can be done every 3-4 weeks, depending on your skin's needs and how quickly the dead skin cells accumulate.
Overall, dermaplaning is a safe and effective way to exfoliate the skin, remove peach fuzz, and improve the overall appearance of your complexion. It's a popular choice for those looking for a quick and easy way to achieve smoother, brighter skin.
