Dermaplaning for Smooth and Radiant Skin | Contour You

Dermaplaning is a specialized cosmetic procedure designed to rejuvenate the skin by removing its top layers. This treatment aims to create a smoother skin surface. By using an exfoliating blade, dermaplaning skims away dead skin cells and facial hair, often referred to as “peach fuzz.”

The result is a more youthful, radiant, and even complexion. With its increasing popularity, many individuals are turning to dermaplaning to achieve a fresher and brighter skin appearance. When performed by an experienced esthetician, the procedure is safe for most people and offers transformative results.

How Dermaplaning Works

Dermaplaning utilizes a sterile blade positioned at a 45-degree angle to gently exfoliate the skin’s surface. The procedure is akin to shaving, where the blade is dragged slowly across the skin, removing dead cells, scar tissue, and other debris. This exfoliation process not only removes the superficial layers but also allows for better product penetration. Over time, our skin is exposed to environmental toxins, irritants, and sun damage, causing the top layer to appear dull. Dermaplaning effectively removes these damaged skin cells, revealing fresher and newer cells underneath.

Patients often notice an immediate brightness in their skin following a dermaplaning session. The treatment effectively clears away up to three weeks’ worth of dead skin cells. As any post-procedure redness subsides, the full results become more evident, revealing a smoother and more radiant complexion. However, it’s essential to note that the effects aren’t permanent, and regular sessions may be required to maintain the desired outcome.

FAQs

What Is Dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning is an exfoliating treatment that uses a specialized blade to remove dead skin cells and facial hair from the face. It aims to enhance the skin’s texture, reduce fine wrinkles, and diminish acne scars, resulting in a smoother and more radiant complexion. The procedure is particularly beneficial for those looking to achieve a fresher and brighter skin appearance without undergoing invasive treatments.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning is suitable for all skin types. It’s especially beneficial for individuals with acne scars, dull skin, dry patches, sun-damaged skin, and excessive hair or “peach fuzz”. However, those with active acne flare-ups should consult with their dermatologist before undergoing the procedure. The treatment is tailored to address specific skin concerns, ensuring optimal results for each individual.

How Should I Prepare for Dermaplaning Treatment?

Before undergoing dermaplaning, it’s crucial to avoid direct sun exposure for at least a week. Sun damage, such as sunburn, can compromise the skin and make the treatment painful. It’s also recommended to discuss your medical history, skin type, and desired results with your provider. Proper preparation ensures a smoother procedure and better post-treatment results.

What Can I Expect During Dermaplaning Recovery?

Dermaplaning requires minimal to no downtime. Some individuals might experience slight redness or a sensation of scraped skin for a couple of days post-treatment. It’s essential to apply sunscreen to protect the newly exposed skin cells from sun damage. Following the recommended post-treatment care can enhance the results and ensure a quicker recovery.

How Much Does Dermaplaning Cost?

The cost of dermaplaning can vary based on location and provider, but sessions typically range between $25 and $75. It’s always best to consult with our office during a consultation for a precise cost estimate tailored to your needs.

Combining Dermaplaning With Other Treatments

Dermaplaning, when paired with other treatments, can amplify skincare results. For instance, dermaplaned skin is more receptive to chemical peels, enhancing their efficacy in addressing hyperpigmentation and excessive hair. Microneedling, which stimulates collagen production, works synergistically with dermaplaning for improved serum absorption. Additionally, treatments like chemical peels, LED light therapy, and microneedling facials can achieve optimal outcomes when the skin is prepped with dermaplaning, ensuring deeper penetration and more effective results.
