Dermaplaning is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure aimed at exfoliating the skin and removing dead skin cells and fine vellus hair, often referred to as “peach fuzz.” This treatment is performed using a sterile surgical scalpel that gently scrapes the surface of the skin.
How Dermaplaning Works
During a dermaplaning session, a trained aesthetician or dermatologist carefully holds the skin taut and uses a blade to remove the top layer of dead skin cells along with any fine hair. The process is painless and typically takes about 30 minutes. The procedure is designed to leave the skin feeling smoother and looking more radiant.
Benefits of Dermaplaning
Exfoliation: By removing dead skin cells, dermaplaning helps to rejuvenate the skin, allowing for better absorption of skincare products.
Smoother Makeup Application: The absence of peach fuzz and the smoother texture of the skin can lead to more even makeup application.
Immediate Results: Unlike some other treatments, the effects of dermaplaning can be seen immediately after the procedure.
Non-Invasive and Quick: Dermaplaning does not require any downtime, making it a convenient option for those with busy schedules.
It is important to consult with a certified healthcare provider to discuss any concerns, review possible side effects and determine if this is the right treatment for you.
