Unlock Your Skin's Radiant Glow
Dermaplaning is a highly effective, non-invasive exfoliation technique that uses a specialized, sterile blade to gently remove dead skin cells and fine facial hair (often referred to as “peach fuzz”). This treatment instantly refreshes and brightens your complexion, helping you achieve smoother, more even-toned skin. It’s a favorite for those looking to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin texture, and promote natural cell turnover—all without harsh chemicals or abrasive ingredients.
Dermaplaning is suitable for a variety of skin types, including dry, oily, combination, and even sensitive skin. Its gentle nature makes it accessible to those seeking a glowing complexion with minimal downtime. Plus, the removal of fine hair allows makeup to go on smoother, making it an excellent choice for those looking for a flawless finish.
Key Benefits of Dermaplaning
Exfoliates Dead Skin Cells: Removes the top layer of dull, dead skin cells, revealing fresh, radiant skin underneath.
Promotes Cell Turnover: Boosts skin renewal, reducing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scars.
Enhances Product Absorption: Allows your skincare products to penetrate more deeply, maximizing their effectiveness.
Suitable for Most Skin Types: From dry to oily and sensitive skin, dermaplaning works gently to benefit nearly everyone.
Contraindications for Dermaplaning
While dermaplaning is generally safe, there are a few contraindications to consider. The treatment may not be suitable for those with:
Active Acne or Rosacea: Exfoliating may worsen active inflammation or sensitivity.
Open Wounds or Skin Lesions: Dermaplaning can aggravate healing skin and increase the risk of infection.
Severe Sunburns: Recently sunburned skin is highly sensitive and should be allowed to heal fully before treatment.
Inflamed Skin Conditions: Conditions like eczema or psoriasis in the treatment area should be managed before considering dermaplaning.
Allergies to Nickel: Some dermaplaning blades contain nickel, so an allergy may pose a risk.
Always discuss any skin conditions or concerns with your esthetician to ensure dermaplaning is safe and beneficial for you.
Preparing for Your Dermaplaning Treatment
To get the most out of your dermaplaning session, it’s essential to properly prep your skin:
Cleanse Thoroughly: Start with a clean, dry face free of makeup and oils.
Avoid Exfoliants: Refrain from using any exfoliating products (retinoids, AHAs, BHAs) for at least 3-5 days before your appointment.
No Waxing or Tweezing: Avoid hair removal in the treatment area for at least 24 hours prior to your session.
Limit Sun Exposure: Sunburned skin is more prone to irritation, so protect your skin before your appointment.
Aftercare for Dermaplaning: Essential Tips for Lasting Results
Proper aftercare will prolong your results and protect your skin:
Hydrate and Moisturize: Keep your skin hydrated with a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer to support the skin’s barrier.
Avoid Sun Exposure: Your skin is more sensitive to the sun after dermaplaning, so wear a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ daily.
Skip Harsh Products: Avoid exfoliants and active ingredients (retinoids, AHAs, BHAs) for 48 hours post-treatment.
Hands Off: Resist touching your face to minimize the risk of introducing bacteria to freshly exfoliated skin.
