Dermaplaning
Understanding Dermaplaning
Dermaplaning is a skin resurfacing treatment that involves gently exfoliating the top layer of skin using a specialized blade. This process removes dead skin cells and fine vellus hair, often referred to as peach fuzz. By removing these obstructions, dermaplaning can improve the skin's texture, promoting a smoother and more radiant appearance. It also enhances the absorption of skincare products, allowing them to penetrate deeper into the skin for optimal results.
Treatment Overview
Dermaplaning is a quick and painless procedure performed by a skilled esthetician. The treatment begins with cleansing the skin to remove makeup and impurities. A specialized blade is then used to gently exfoliate the skin, removing dead skin cells and peach fuzz. The procedure typically takes about 30 minutes, and there is no downtime, allowing you to resume your daily activities immediately afterward. While the skin may appear slightly pink immediately after the treatment, this redness usually subsides within a few hours.

FAQs
Dermaplaning is generally safe for most skin types, but it's essential to consult with a qualified esthetician to determine if it's suitable for your skin. Individuals with active acne or skin conditions should avoid dermaplaning until the condition has cleared.
The frequency of dermaplaning treatments depends on your skin type and desired results. Most people benefit from treatments every 4-6 weeks. However, factors such as skin sensitivity and the severity of skin concerns may influence the treatment schedule.
It's recommended to avoid shaving for at least 24 hours after a dermaplaning treatment to allow the skin to fully recover. Dermaplaning effectively removes peach fuzz, and shaving may not be necessary for several days.
This is a common misconception. Dermaplaning removes the hair at the skin's surface but does not affect the hair follicles. Therefore, the hair will grow back at its normal rate and thickness.
