Dermaplaning can help reduce the appearance of acne scars or other skin imperfections by revealing newer, undamaged skin. It can make your skin look younger though, it doesn’t stop the aging process. Some people also get dermaplaning for hair removal. This is only a temporary fix because your hair will grow back.
You may consider dermaplaning if you have skin concerns such as:Acne scars.Actinic keratosis (scaly skin patches that can lead to skin cancer).Dull or dry skin.Peach fuzz (light, soft hair on your face).Skin damaged by sun exposure.Fine lines (wrinkles).What happens during dermaplaning:You might feel a scratching or stinging sensation on your skin, but dermaplaning usually isn’t painful. We use a special instrument called a dermatome to remove hair and skin cells. The dermatome has a small blade that moves back and forth across your skin. It doesn’t make cuts in your skin, but gently shaves off the top layers of skin. Afterward, we apply a soothing gel or ointment to your skin to reduce redness, swelling or irritation. The treatment can last anywhere from a few minutes to an hour and a half. The length of the procedure depends on the size of the area that needs treatment.
Dermaplaning & Facial Combo:
We recommend our dermaplaning & facial combo to help sooth your skin after the treatment. We are partnered with a facial professional to provide relaxing facials post dermaplaning.
What to expect after dermaplaning:
After 1 week: Redness and swelling should subside. You may notice enlarged pores or small whiteheads on your skin, which usually go away with the swelling. Don’t shave the treated area.
After 2 weeks: A scab may form over the treated area, which falls off. The skin underneath will look tight and pink. It might be itchy. You should avoid strenuous activities.
After 4–6 weeks: You can gradually get back to playing sports or other activities, but you should stay out of the sun.
After 6–12 months: Continue staying out of the sun until the treated area has returned to your normal skin color.
