Dermaplaning is one facial procedure that is taking over social media, being a promise of a better and more homogeneous face in a straightforward process. In reality, it is basically a cosmetic procedure that removes the top layers of the skin to remove fine wrinkles and deep acne scarring. This way, the skin will look smoother and more youthful. It also helps remove dirt and vellus hair (also known as “peach fuzz”), improves the penetration of skincare products, and preps the skin for additional procedures like lasers and peels.
It is a procedure done by using an exfoliating blade to delicately remove dead skin cells and hair from the face surface. Professionals agree that it is safe with little risk of side effects when performed by a certified dermatologist. Furthermore, it is considered a great option because it doesn’t require any downtime for recovery, which is very convenient for busy clients.
Another interesting use for dermaplaning is the general improvement of acne scars, dull skin, dry skin, sun-damaged skin, and fine wrinkles.
In more detail, during the procedure, it is expected to not feel any pain, maybe only a tingling sensation during the treatment. Sedation options may be available (varying between a numbing spray and local anesthesia combined with an oral sedative), and it can be done by an electronic or manual dermaplaning tool to scrape over the skin at a 45-degree angle. It will last for approximately 20 to 30 minutes. After it is finished, the professional will soothe the skin with a product containing proper substances like aloe and apply sunscreen to protect the recently damaged face.
In conclusion, dermaplaning is an excellent procedure to get quick and effective results on the skin surface by removing the top layer and revealing clear and bright skin.
