What is Dermaplaning
Dermaplaning is a non-invasive beauty treatment that involves using a sterile surgical scalpel to gently exfoliate the outermost layer of the skin. It is a manual exfoliation technique that removes dead skin cells and fine facial hair, revealing smoother and brighter skin.
How it Works
During a dermaplaning treatment, a trained aesthetician or skincare professional will carefully scrape the surface of the skin using a surgical scalpel held at a 45-degree angle. The scalpel is used to remove the dead skin cells and vellus hair (peach fuzz) from the face. The procedure is painless and typically done in gentle, sweeping motions.
What it Treats
Dermaplaning is effective for addressing various skin concerns and improving the overall appearance of the skin. It helps to exfoliate the top layer of dead skin cells, which can improve skin texture, tone, and radiance. By removing the vellus hair, it can create a smoother canvas for makeup application and enhance the penetration of skincare products. Dermaplaning can also help with the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, as well as the absorption of serums and treatments.
Dermaplaning is suitable for most skin types, including sensitive skin, and it is often chosen as an alternative to chemical peels or microdermabrasion. However, it may not be recommended for individuals with active acne or certain skin conditions. It is best to consult with a skincare professional to determine if dermaplaning is the right treatment for your specific needs.
