Who does not want skin that radiates and is smooth to the touch? Acne scars and peach fuzz often get in the way of achieving clear, healthy-looking skin. When searching for the right treatment, it can be challenging to keep up with changing fads and gimmicks of skincare products and procedures.
If you are one to follow celebrities or beauty moguls, we can name one proven treatment that isn’t budging—it’s dermaplaning! Dermaplaning treatments are all the rage in modern skincare, but what do they actually do for your skin?
Find out how you can look more radiant and what benefits dermaplaning skin rejuvenation really provides your skin. Read below to find out!
What is Dermaplaning?
If you aren’t familiar with the term “dermaplaning,” you may have heard of “face shaving” or something similar. Dermaplaning involves a minimally invasive procedure, which means no pain from needles used to treat you. One session can last under an hour, so it has low impact, giving way for swift recovery with zero downtime.
As someone looking to better his/her appearance, shaving may sound intimidating or just downright crazy. Rest assured, this treatment doesn’t require a can of shaving cream and a straight razor. It is anything but a shave-and-go treatment. The aesthetician uses a special shaving tool called a dermatome, which resembles a razor for shaving.
What Does Dermaplaning Do?
Dermaplaning is a form of exfoliation that is similar to microdermabrasion. Using the special blade, it gently removes hairs and thin outer layers of skin. The “shaving” of the face triggers the process of cell regeneration and helps improve the appearance of hyperpigmentation or acne scarring. By shaving the skin’s surface, the top layer of dead skin is removed as well as fine vellus hair (aka peach fuzz).
The result is a smoother appearance and a radiant glow, which allows products to better absorb into the skin and makeup to apply and set more evenly. It helps target acne and many other facial blemishes. This procedure is for all skin types (will dig deeper on it later, so read on), where it targets fine lines and wrinkles, fixes uneven skin tone, and acne scarring. Many people receive a dermaplaning service once per month or even in conjunction with another service. While it is marketed as a facial and is typically performed on the face and neck, dermaplaning can be done on almost any part of the body!
To make sure your desired area of service is possible, please ask your esthetician about the area you want to get treated. They can guide you on the proper session for each area. Depending on your treatment area and skin’s needs, a service will typically last between 30 and 45 minutes.
Benefits of Dermaplaning
Dermaplaning perfectly combines alongside another. Peels and serums are more easily absorbed into the skin after dermaplaning and, as a result, are more effective.
The procedure brings many benefits for your skin. Here is what you will get after the procedure:
- Removes facial hair that traps dirts and oil
- Reduces visible signs of aging and diminishes the look of fine line
- Immediately evens your skin and allows makeup to apply more smoothly
- Helps with acne (cannot be done with active acne present
- Allows products to apply easier, providing deeper product penetration
- It’s the best way to exfoliate, promoting smoother skin
- Works on all skin types
Upon receiving Dermaplaning, one can expect to see instant improvement in the skin’s texture and tone. Long-term effects are fewer wrinkles, reduction of dark spots and acne scarring, the removal of fine hair, and overall increased cell turnover.
Who should consider the dermaplaning treatment?
Anyone who is interested in a quick, painless, and extremely beneficial exfoliating experience can go through dermaplaning. The procedure involved in dermaplaning is safe for pregnant or nursing women who may be unable to do chemical peels or other treatments. It is effective for those with extremely rough or dry skin and also for older clients with mature skin who have a buildup of dead cells. This tends to happen as cellular turnover slows down as we age.
The treatment is recommended every three to four weeks. Because we are always shedding skin cells, this is one of the procedures that you can’t do too much. If you are working with an aesthetician, they should be able to get you onto a regular schedule, but the goal is to treat monthly so that you are removing two to three weeks’ worth of dead skin cells at each appointment.
