What is Dermplaning

Dermaplaning is a simple, yet effective treatment that seeks to smooth and rejuvenate your skin, and improve overall skin wellness. 

By using a metal blade, a small portion of the top layer of skin is taken off. This thin layer is made up of mostly dead skin cells and light, soft hairs, often referred to as “peach fuzz.” Removing dead skin and hair will leave you looking younger and healthier. 

Getting rid of dead skin and peach fuzz makes it easier for makeup and other products to get and stay on your face. However, in the immediate hours after dermaplaning, you should avoid putting anything on other than a repairing moisturizer and SPF. Letting your face breathe will greatly assist in the overall healing and recovery process. 

Dermaplaning is one of the most universal and popular treatments as it’s a good fit for nearly any skin type. Those who are actively taking Accutane or have certain bleeding disorders, Grade III or Grade IV acne, sunburns, or eczema should avoid dermaplaning. The treatment takes no longer than an hour, requires zero down time, and is pain-free.

Patients often pair a dermaplaning treatment with a chemical peel or HydraFacial. Combining treatments can help you take full advantage of having recently exfoliated skin. 

Male patients typically receive dermaplaning treatments along their forehead, cheek, and areas around the eyes only. Due to the rough and coarse nature of the hair found within the beard area, dermaplaning treatments are not recommended for men other than those mentioned.
