Smooth, glowing skin is something many people desire, and one way to achieve this is through a dermaplane facial. This non-invasive treatment is a great addition to your skincare routine because it gives you deeper exfoliation and better product absorption, among many other benefits.
What is Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is a facial treatment that involves using a surgical scalpel to gently remove dead skin cells and fine vellus hair (peach fuzz) from the skin’s surface. This treatment is safe and effective, requiring no downtime and is suitable for most skin types. Because dermaplaning can gently exfoliate without the use of harsh chemicals, it’s recommended as a great treatment to rejuvenate the skin.
Benefits of a Dermaplane Facial
Smooth, Glowing Skin
One of the immediate and most noticeable results of a dermaplane facial is how smooth and glowing your skin looks. By removing dull, dead skin cells from the surface, this treatment shows your healthy, fresh skin.
Deeper Product Absorption
When dead skin cells are removed, your skin can better absorb serums, moisturizers, and other treatments. This means your skincare products will work harder for you, maximizing their results.
Reduces Appearance of Fine Lines
While dermaplaning doesn’t penetrate deep enough to treat deep wrinkles, its exfoliating properties help minimize the appearance of fine lines and uneven texture.
Non-Invasive
Dermaplaning is a painless, non-invasive treatment with zero downtime. Dermaplane facials are super relaxing, so this can be a self-care treat for you and your skin!
Safe for Most Skin Types
Dermaplaning is generally considered safe for most skin types, however, if you have any questions, reserve an appointment with our estheticians so we can give you a personalized consultation.
Who Can Benefit from Dermaplaning
You may consider having a dermaplane facial if you have:
- Acne scars
- Actinic keratosis (scaly skin patches)
- Dull or dry skin
- Peach fuzz
- Skin damaged by sun exposure
- Fine lines
How To Care For Your Skin After Dermaplaning
To maintain your glow and protect your freshly exfoliated skin, here are post-treatment care tips:
Hydrate
After dermaplaning, drink plenty of water because your skin will be more prone to dryness and you need to keep hydrated from the inside out!
Use SPF
Your skin is more sensitive to UV rays post-dermaplaning, so wearing sunscreen is essential.
Products Not To Use Right Away
Don’t use retinoids or glycolic acids for a few days because these can cause redness and irritation.
Don’t Touch Your Face
It can be tempting to touch your glowing, smooth skin, but resist the urge! Touching your face transfers dirt and oils from your hands, which can lead to clogged pores or breakouts. This also means don’t wear makeup for at least 24 hours after having a dermaplane facial.
