What is Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that exfoliates the top layer of skin. Here’s a breakdown:
-
What it is:
- A specialized tool, similar to a small blade, is gently used to “shave” away the top layer of dead skin cells and fine vellus hair (peach fuzz).
-
How it works:
- Exfoliation: Removes the outermost layer of dead skin cells, revealing smoother, brighter skin underneath.
- Hair Removal: Removes fine facial hair, which can help makeup to apply more smoothly.
-
Potential Benefits:
- Improved Skin Texture: Smoother, more radiant skin.
- Reduced Appearance of Fine Lines: Can help to minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
- Better Makeup Application: Makeup applies more evenly and smoothly after dermaplaning.
- Reduced Acne Scars: Can help to improve the appearance of mild acne scars.
-
Important Considerations:
- Temporary Hair Growth: Hair will grow back, but it may feel softer and finer.
- Sun Sensitivity: The skin may be more sensitive to the sun after dermaplaning, so sunscreen is crucial.
- Professional Administration: Dermaplaning should always be performed by a qualified and experienced professional (like a dermatologist, esthetician, or plastic surgeon).
Treatment step-by-step
Consultation
- You’ll have a consultation with a qualified professional (like a dermatologist, esthetician, or plastic surgeon). They’ll assess your skin, discuss your concerns, and determine if you’re a suitable candidate for dermaplaning.
Skin Preparation
- Cleansing: The treatment area will be thoroughly cleansed to remove any makeup, oil, or debris.
- Drying: The skin will be gently dried.
Dermaplaning
- Holding the Skin Taut: The professional will gently hold the skin taut with one hand.
- Shaving Motion: Using a specialized tool (like a scalpel or a specialized dermaplaning tool), they will gently “shave” the top layer of skin and fine vellus hair in short, upward strokes.
- Areas Treated: The procedure is typically performed on the face, but it can also be done on other areas like the neck and chest.
Post-Treatment Care
- Soothing: A soothing serum or moisturizer may be applied to the skin.
- Sun Protection: The professional will emphasize the importance of using a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher daily.
