Your skin is exposed daily to environmental toxins, irritants, sun damage, and other factors, causing your skin to appear dull. Dermaplaning is a skin resurfacing technique that is used to remove debris packed into the top layers of your skin, improving overall appearance.
Dermaplaning can be done for any skin type and those with acne scars, dull or dry skin, sun-damaged skin, or fine lines and wrinkles.
Dermaplaning removes fine vellus facial hair that traps oil and bacteria and damaged skin cells, resulting in more youthful, smoother, and brighter skin accompanied by the newer skin cells.
We begin by gently cleansing and scrubbing the face to remove excess debris. A sterile dermatome is then used to remove the top layer of skin in a gentle scraping motion.
The procedure takes about 20 minutes.
Patients may see brighter skin immediately after treatment, but full results will appear within a few days. Results of dermaplaning aren’t permanent. After three weeks to a month, your results will fade.
While you may feel a tingling sensation during the treatment, dermaplaning is not painful.
There is no post-treatment care required for this treatment. It causes almost no redness or irritation.
The goal of the consultation is to customize a treatment plan and experience with you in mind. This includes your physiology, your goals and expectations, your budget, your health and safety, and everything in between.
