Dermaplaning and shaving are skin treatments that both involve the use of a blade. A shaving blade is designed to remove hair from the skin’s surface, and that’s it. Dermaplaning, however, not only removes facial hair, but it also exfoliates the skin, providing completely different results.
What is Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is a skincare treatment designed to gently exfoliate the skin. The procedure involves lightly scraping the face with a medical-grade scalpel which removes dead skin cells and fine vellus hairs. Excess vellus hairs can cause a build-up of dirt and oils in the hair follicles and removing them results in healthier, smoother looking skin.
When performing a dermaplaning treatment, the aesthetician will stretch small sections of the skin to match the blade. This will clear away the facial hair within the first 2-3 strokes. Additional strokes will begin to remove the dead skin cells.
What are the Benefits of Dermaplaning?
Removes Facial Hair
One of the benefits of dermaplaning is that it works on visible facial hair as well as fine vellus hairs.
Cleans and Reduces Pores
Dermaplaning deep cleans the pores by removing oils, dirt, and dead skin cells. The procedure can be very beneficial for those with acne, as it can improve the effectiveness of acne medications.
Minimize Fine Lines and Wrinkles
Dermaplaning can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Promotes healthier, younger looking skin.
Rejuvenated Skin
Since dermaplaning removes dead skin cells and stimulates new cell growth, this treatment has a rejuvenating effect on the skin.
Safe and Effective
This non-invasive skincare treatment is painless and doesn’t require any harsh chemicals or excessive downtime.
Anyone is a Candidate
Dermaplaning is a good treatment option for clients with any skin tone or facial hair type.
Improves Skincare Regimens
Skin will receive the maximum benefits of skincare products due to cleaner pores being able to fully absorb them.
Dermaplaning is safe and effective procedure designed to improve the overall appearance of the skin. As with any cosmetic procedure, dermaplaning should be performed by a professional aesthetician for optimal results.
