DERMAPLANING FACIAL

Description

**What is Dermaplaning?**

Dermaplaning is a skincare procedure that involves the manual exfoliation of the skin to eliminate dead skin cells and fine vellus hair, often referred to as “peach fuzz.” Unlike traditional shaving, which primarily focuses on hair removal, dermaplaning is specifically aimed at enhancing the overall appearance and texture of the skin. During the treatment, a licensed aesthetician employs a sterile, surgical-grade blade to gently scrape away the outermost layer of skin, which is typically composed of dull, lifeless skin cells. This process usually lasts between 10 to 20 minutes and can be performed as a standalone treatment or integrated as part of a comprehensive facial procedure.

**Benefits of Dermaplaning**

The benefits of dermaplaning are manifold. Patients often report an immediate improvement in the smoothness and radiance of their skin, as the procedure reveals the fresh, healthy skin beneath the dead layers. In addition to enhancing the skin’s texture, dermaplaning promotes better absorption of topical skincare products, allowing them to penetrate deeper for maximum efficacy and results. This can amplify the benefits of serums and moisturizers significantly. Furthermore, dermaplaning may stimulate collagen production, helping to improve skin elasticity and reduce the appearance of fine lines and pigmentation irregularities, resulting in a brighter, more youthful complexion. Importantly, this procedure is suitable for all skin types, making it a versatile option for anyone seeking to rejuvenate their skin.

**Contraindications**

Before undergoing dermaplaning, a thorough consultation with a skilled aesthetician is essential to determine if this treatment is appropriate for your skin type and concerns. It is generally advised that individuals with active acne, severe scarring, significant redness, or hypersensitive skin refrain from this procedure, as it may exacerbate these conditions. Your aesthetician will assess your skin during the consultation to ensure that dermaplaning is a safe and effective choice for you.
