Dermaplaning
Dermaplaning is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that involves using a sterile scalpel to gently exfoliate the skin and remove fine hairs (vellus hairs or "peach fuzz").
Benefits:
Exfoliation: Removes dead skin cells and debris, revealing brighter and smoother skin.
Reduces fine lines and wrinkles: By removing the top layer of skin, dermaplaning can help minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Improves skin tone and texture: By removing dead skin cells and uneven skin tone, dermaplaning can leave the skin looking more even and radiant.
Enhances makeup application: The smooth, exfoliated surface makes it easier for makeup to glide on and last longer.
Removes fine facial hair: Dermaplaning gently removes vellus hairs, resulting in a more polished appearance.
Procedure:
A licensed professional will cleanse and disinfect the skin.
Using a sterile scalpel, the professional will gently scrape the skin in short, feather-like strokes, following the natural contours of the face.
The procedure typically takes about 15-30 minutes.
After dermaplaning, the skin may be slightly red and sensitive. A soothing moisturizer or serum will be applied to calm the skin.
Aftercare:
Avoid sun exposure and use sunscreen for at least 24 hours after the procedure.
Apply a gentle cleanser and moisturizer regularly.
Avoid using harsh or abrasive skin products.
Do not pick or scratch at the skin.
If any irritation or discomfort occurs, contact your healthcare provider.
Frequency:
Dermaplaning can be repeated every 4-6 weeks, depending on individual skin needs and preferences.
Precautions:
Dermaplaning is not suitable for people with active acne, open wounds, or sensitive skin conditions.
Pregnant women should consult their healthcare provider before undergoing dermaplaning.
