Dermaplaning is a popular exfoliating facial treatment that involves the use of a surgical scalpel to gently scrape off dead skin cells and fine vellus hair (often called "peach fuzz") from the surface of the skin. This technique results in smoother, brighter, and more even skin by removing the outermost layer of skin cells and hair.How It Works: During a dermaplaning facial, a licensed esthetician uses a small, sterile surgical scalpel to carefully "shave" the surface of the skin. The procedure is usually painless, though you may feel a slight scraping sensation. The scalpel is held at a 45-degree angle and moved in short, swift strokes to exfoliate the skin and remove unwanted hair.After the dermaplaning is complete, a soothing mask or moisturizer is often applied to nourish and hydrate the skin.
Benefits of Dermaplaning:
- Exfoliates the Skin: Dermaplaning removes the outer layer of dead skin cells, promoting a smoother, brighter complexion.
- Removes Peach Fuzz: The treatment removes fine vellus hair, which can make the skin appear smoother and more radiant.
- Improves Skin Texture: By eliminating dead skin cells and fine hair, dermaplaning can improve the skin’s texture, making it feel soft and velvety.
- Enhances Product Absorption: Without the layer of dead skin or hair, skincare products like serums, moisturizers, and masks can penetrate deeper and work more effectively.
- Gives Instant Glow: The treatment leaves the skin looking luminous and refreshed, with a noticeable glow right after the procedure.
- Helps with Hyperpigmentation: Regular dermaplaning can help with the appearance of dark spots or uneven skin tone by promoting cell turnover and encouraging fresh skin to surface.
- Non-Invasive and Quick: Dermaplaning is a painless, non-invasive procedure that typically takes around 30 minutes, with no downtime required
