Dermaplane

---

Dermaplaning is a cosmetic procedure that removes the top layers of your skin. The procedure aims to remove fine wrinkles and deep acne scarring, as well as make the skin’s surface look smooth. This procedure doesn’t require any downtime for recovery, which makes it extremely convenient. Dermaplane services are administered by a trained aesthetician. Dermatologists say this treatment is effective for people looking to make their skin appear more youthful, smooth, and bright, but results typically only last up to three weeks. 

 Dermaplanning is a skin treatment that uses an exfoliating blade to skim dead cells and hair from your face. Dermaplanning aims to make your skin’s surface smooth, youthful, and radiant. This treatment claims to remove deep scarring from acne and uneven pockmarks on your skin. It’s also used to remove “peach fuzz,” the short , soft hairs on your face.

Dermaplaning can be used for any skin type and anyone with acne scars, dull skin, dry skin, sun-damaged skin. If you have an acne flare-up, you may need to reschedule your appointment to avoid irritating your skin further or tearing your skins surface. Sunburn can also compromise your skin and make the treatment painful. You may be advised to add a chemical peel to your dermaplanning treatment. Right after dermaplanning your skin is able to deeply absorb and benefit from a chemical peel in a way it can’t at other times!!!  Dermaplanning clears away those damaged skin cells so newer skin cells are what you see when you look in the mirror. Dermaplanning is mostly anecdotal. You may notice that your skin looks brighter immediately after you’re finished with a dermaplanning treatment, but it often takes a few days to appreciate the full results. Results of dermaplanning are not permanent. The procedure claims to clear away up to three weeks’ worth of dead skin cells. Please be extra careful about sun exposure. Sun damage could reverse the effects of dermaplanning, or create pigment blotches on your freshly uncovered skin cells.

Dermaplaning VS. Microdermabrasion

Dermaplanning and microdermabrasion are both exfoliating skin treatments that claim to soothe your skin. While dermaplanning uses a blade to remove dead skin cells, microdermabrasion “sands down” your skin using an abrasive surface. Fine particles may be directed at your face in a blast of air, or special tool may make contact with your skin directly to exfoliate skin cells. Microdermabrasion’s tend to involve several rounds of treatments, with results that can last several months. If you’re deciding between the two procedures, your best bet is to speak with your provider who can advise you based on what kind of results you’re expecting.
