What is Dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning is a skin exfoliation treatment that uses a sterile surgical blade to gently remove dead skin cells and fine facial hair from the surface of the skin. Dermaplaning is non-invasive and is performed to improve skin texture and reveal a brighter, smoother complexion. Unlike exfoliating products or treatments that can be harsh on the skin, dermaplaning physically removes the outer layer of dull, damaged skin without the use of chemicals or abrasive particles.

What Are the Benefits of Dermaplaning?

Our Dermaplaning treatments in Philadelphia, PA, offer immediate improvements in your skin’s appearance and support long-term skin health through regular exfoliation, which promotes the growth of new, healthy skin cells. Some of the benefits of dermaplaning include:

  • Smoother, softer skin
  • Thorough surface exfoliation
  • A more radiant complexion
  • Elimination of dead cells and peach fuzz
  • Reduced appearance of fine lines and acne scars
  • Safe for most skin types
  • Quick and painless 
  • No recovery or downtime needed

Dermaplaning also creates a smooth facial surface that allows makeup to apply more evenly. It also helps topical products like serums, creams, and lotions absorb more easily for more efficient, effective results. Dermaplaning can also be done on a routine basis to help maintain the tone, texture, and health of your skin over time.

Who Are the Best Candidates for Dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning is an excellent treatment option for most skin types and tones. If you are looking for a gentle way to exfoliate and rejuvenate the beauty of your skin, dermaplaning may be right for you. You may be an ideal candidate if you:

  • Have dull or dry patches of skin
  • Are bothered by fine facial hairs or peach fuzz
  • Have an uneven skin tone
  • Want to make applying makeup smoother

Dermaplaning is not recommended for people with active acne breakouts, inflammatory skin conditions, skin infections, or open wounds.

How to Begin Your Dermaplaning Journey

If you notice patches of dry skin, unwanted peach fuzz, or dull-looking skin, here are the first few steps to take to start your dermaplaning journey.

    1. Find a skilled, qualified provider: Make sure the practice has a properly trained aesthetician experienced with dermaplaning to protect your skin and ensure quality results.
    2. Schedule a Consultation: During your consultation, your provider can carefully examine your skin and let you know whether dermaplaning can provide the care you need.
    3. Ask about other beneficial treatments: There may be other skin care treatments that can be performed alongside dermaplaning to provide more comprehensive results.
    4. Learn about products for your post-treatment care: Your skin will be primed for lotions, serums, and other topical skincare products, so make sure to ask about the best way to care for your skin.

 

What to Expect on the Day of Dermaplaning Treatment

Your treatment will be performed at our office in Bala Cynwyd, PA. Our team will greet you when you arrive for your appointment and begin prepping your skin for dermaplaning. We thoroughly cleanse your skin to ensure the surface is free of grime, dirt, and other harmful substances. A sterile surgical scalpel is used to scrape the surface of the skin so that any dead or damaged skin cells are removed along with any fine hairs. The treatment creates a brushing or scraping sensation that is not painful. It typically takes around 30 minutes or more to perform the treatment. After your dermaplaning, you can resume your regular routine.

Combining My Dermaplaning with Other Treatments

In many cases, clients may have other aesthetic concerns they want to address. Dermaplaning can be performed with other facial rejuvenation treatments for more comprehensive and dramatic results.

BOTOX

BOTOX is great for targeting more noticeable fine lines around the corners of the eyes, the mouth, and the forehead. When combined with dermaplaning, it can give you a smoother, more youthful appearance.

Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers can restore lost facial volume in specific areas to reduce the appearance of folds and wrinkles and refine facial contours.

Your Guide to Post-Dermaplaning Care

One of the greatest benefits of dermaplaning is that it requires virtually no downtime or recovery. Your skin may appear slightly pink and feel mildly sensitive for a few hours after treatment, but these issues should subside quickly. It is important that you put a little more effort into protecting your skin for the next few days.

Avoid direct sunlight as much as possible, and apply sunscreen when you do need to go outside. Be sure to keep your skin hydrated and nourished by following a good skincare routine.
