What is Dermaplaning Facial?
Dermaplaning Facial is a physical exfoliation method that involves using a 10-gauge scalpel to gently scrape away the top layer of dead skin cells to reveal a brighter, smoother complexion. As we always tell our patients, it’s like peeling a layer off an onion, the inside is always smoother and brighter.
Sounds scary, doesn’t it? It really isn’t, it is a safe and simple technique as long as you are in the hands of trained professionals. This is one of the favorite treatments in the entertainment industry, why? It removes all the dead skin cells and also facial hair, leaving the surface very smooth, it also allows for greater penetration of skin products and creates a perfect canvas for makeup to glide on smoothly.
For which patients is it recommended?
Dermaplaning Facial is recommended for all skin types, except those with acneic skin. If you have cystic acne, you should receive medical treatment first, before attempting dermaplaning facial. This is a great treatment if you are pregnant or breastfeeding and want an exfoliation without the risk of chemicals being absorbed and potentially harming your baby.
Is it painful?
Dermaplaning is a painless procedure and can be compared to the feeling of shaving your legs, but in this case, it is on your face. First, the skin is thoroughly cleaned and dried. Next, a small area of your skin is spread with one hand and with the other hand with a sterile 10 gauge blade at a 45 degree angle, short, quick movements are made to remove dead skin cells.
How long does the treatment last?
About 30 minutes.
What are the expected results?
You will immediately look more radiant skin with a more even tone and texture. All surface fuzz and dead skin cells will be gone. When patients have it done for the first time, they usually comment that their skin has never felt so smooth.
How often is it recommended?
It is recommended every 4 weeks. Dermaplaning removes 21 days worth of dead skin cell accumulation, so it is necessary for the skin to complete its 3-week cell turnover cycle before the next treatment.
