Enter: Dermaplaning

Dermaplaning is a low-risk and non-invasive method of mechanically exfoliating the skin using a sterile scalpel to remove dead skin, peach fuzz, and other rough spots. The cellular turnover dermaplaning promotes can deliver bright skin, smooth texture, and a reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, giving youthful results!  

Consistent dermaplaning can provide wonderful benefits to the appearance of skin, including: 

  • Smooth skin texture
  • Enhanced brightness 
  • Better product absorption 
  • Reduced fine lines and wrinkles

Plus, it’s suitable for most skin types and low-risk. 

What’s Dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning may sound like a complicated skin treatment, but it’s actually quite simple (and we wouldn’t lie to you).

Dermaplaning involves using a sterile surgical scalpel to gently exfoliate the top layer of skin, removing dead skin cells and fine peach fuzz. This process can provide you with a beautiful, smooth, and brighter-looking complexion.

The effects of dermaplaning can be seen immediately. By removing dead skin cells and fine hair, you’re also removing dirt and oil buildup, which can clog pores and lead to breakouts. Plus, dermaplaning can enhance skin texture and tone, allowing for better absorption of skincare products and makeup application—Win!

Dermaplaning is suitable for nearly all skin types and conditions. It can reduce the appearance of fine lines, rejuvenate dull skin, and may even help fade acne scars over time. The result is a more radiant complexion that often feels softer and looks healthier! 

While it’s not a must for everyone, those who try it often become regular devotees because of the noticeable improvements in their skin’s appearance.

What Are the Benefits of Dermaplaning

Dermaplaning is a non-invasive, low-risk procedure that can target several skin concerns all at once, providing many benefits, including: 

  • Smoother Skin Texture: One of the top benefits of dermaplaning is the immediate improvement in skin texture. By removing dead skin cells, peach fuzz, and rough patches, your skin feels incredibly smooth to the touch.
  • Enhanced Brightness: Dermaplaning can reveal a fresh layer of skin to give you a radiant sheen. Over time, dermaplaning helps reduce the look of acne scars and sun spots, enhancing overall skin tone. 
  • Better Product Absorption: With the barrier of dead skin cells removed, your skincare products can penetrate more deeply. This means you get the full benefits of serums, moisturizers, and other treatments, giving you more effective results in your at-home skincare and maintenance. 
  • Reduces Fine Lines & Wrinkles: Regular dermaplaning can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It promotes cellular turnover and increased collagen and elastin production on the skin, promoting a bright and youthful appearance. By consistently encouraging cell turnover, your skin can look smoother and younger.
  • Safe for Most Skin Types: Almost anyone can benefit from dermaplaning. It’s especially good if you have dry or rough skin, mature skin, and skin that doesn’t respond well to traditional exfoliation methods. 
  • Low-Risk Treatment: The non-invasive and low-risk nature of dermaplaning means there’s practically no downtown and side effects are minimal. Plus, because it mechanically exfoliates the skin, there’s no risk of a chemical reaction.

Shaving vs Dermaplaning

Despite the rumours we’ve heard about shaving your hair, dermaplaning doesn’t cause your peach fuzz to grow back thicker. 

Dermaplaning only trims the hair at the skin’s surface; it does not change the hair’s structure or growth pattern. Therefore, you can enjoy the benefits of smoother skin without worrying about increased hair thickness.

At first glance, shaving your face with a facial razor might seem like a convenient and easy DIY option, however, shaving your face doesn’t provide the same benefits as dermaplaning. Here’s what makes it different: 

  • Precision & Sterility: Dermaplaning uses a surgical scalpel for precision and is performed in a sterile environment. This reduces the risk of infection and cuts and provides a more effective exfoliation process.
  • Professional Expertise: A professional knows the exact angle and pressure to apply, which can maximize the benefits and minimize your risks. They can also tailor the treatment to your skin’s specific needs.
  • Comprehensive Treatment: Dermaplaning removes more than just peach fuzz. It exfoliates the top layer of dead skin cells, providing a level of exfoliation that a home razor can’t match.

Therefore, if you’re aiming for comprehensive skin rejuvenation, dermaplaning remains the superior choice that a facial razor cannot provide.
