Discover Dermaplaning: The Key to Silky, Smooth Skin
Dermaplaning is an advanced procedure designed to exfoliate your skin while removing unwanted facial hair, often referred to as “peach fuzz.” Unlike dermabrasion, which uses a high-speed, rotating brush to exfoliate the skin.
Dermaplaning Benefits: Unlock Your Radiant Glow
As a completely non-invasive treatment with no downtime, the benefits of dermaplaning make it a go-to treatment for achieving a fresh and vibrant complexion all year long. The benefits of dermaplaning include:
Brighter, Smoother Skin
Dermaplaning exfoliates and removes top layers of dull and dead skin, leaving your skin brighter and noticeably smoother.
Fine Line and Wrinkle Reduction:
Dermaplaning treatments can help soften the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, contributing to a more youthful glow and creating a smoother base for makeup application.
Hyperpigmentation Improvement:
Uneven skin tone can be erased by removing dead skin and establishing a more uniform and even complexion.
Acne Scar Treatment
For those dealing with deep facial acne scars, dermaplaning offers a therapeutic approach to scar treatment by removing the top layer of facial skin and creating a surface for deeper penetration of treatment products. Note: the effectiveness of dermaplaning is impacted by individual skin types, tones, and medical histories.
Post-Dermaplaning Care – Quick Recovery, Long-Lasting Results
Unlike other skincare treatments, dermaplaning requires minimal to no downtime, and allows you to immediately return to your daily activities. To protect and care for your newly rejuvenated skin, we advise using daily sunscreen of at least 30 SPF along with a gentle daily moisturizer.
To maintain the benefits of your dermaplaning treatment, we recommend scheduling additional treatments every 3 to 4 weeks with our skilled professionals at Olympia Aesthetics. If you have specific concerns related to your skin or a dermaplaning treatment, please consult our professionals for additional guidance and support.
Frequently Asked Questions
Below are commonly asked questions about DERMAPLANING:
As a completely non-invasive treatment with no downtime, the benefits of dermaplaning make it a go-to treatment for achieving a fresh and vibrant complexion all year long. The benefits of dermaplaning include:
Dermaplaning is a non-invasive exfoliation procedure designed to remove dead skin cells and unwanted facial hair also known as “Peach Fuzz”, resulting in a brighter, smoother complexion.
During a dermaplaning treatment, our practitioners use the dermaplaning tool to glide over your skin at a 45-degree angle, gently exfoliating and scraping away the top layer of dead skin cells. This treatment process typically takes around 30 minutes to complete a full removal of
dead skin cells around the face.
It is essential to refrain from any chemical or exfoliating treatments for at least three days prior
to your appointment. Please avoid exposing your skin to direct sunlight or tanning before and after your treatment to prevent skin irritation or potential negative side effects.
How is Dermaplaning Different from Dermabrasion?
While dermaplaning and dermabrasion are exfoliating treatments, they employ very different
exfoliation techniques. Dermaplaning uses a specially designed scalpel to remove dead skin
cells and facial hair, providing gentle and light exfoliation and hair removal with minimal to no
downtime.
In contrast, dermabrasion involves the use of micro-crystals to deeply exfoliate skin cells and does not involve the removal of facial hair. Patients who receive dermabrasion treatments may also experience intense side effects such as bruising, swelling, and dryness that are not associated side effects of dermaplaning treatments.
Does Dermaplaning Cause Breakouts?
When performed by a skilled professional, dermaplaning should not cause additional breakouts. In fact, dermaplaning is a skincare treatment used to help prevent future breakouts by removing dead skin and excess skin oils from your pores and allowing skincare treatments to better penetrate deeper layers of the skin.
Can Dermaplaning Cause Stubble or Thicker Hair to Grow?
Contrary to popular belief, dermaplaning does not cause hair to grow thicker or create facial stubble. Dermaplaning effectively removes unwanted facial hair without affecting its thickness or texture when it regrows.
What Should I Expect After a Dermaplaning Treatment?
Following a dermaplaning treatment, some patients may experience slight redness, although this mild side effect will dissipate quickly. Sun exposure should be avoided for at least three days after the procedure, and we advise the application of sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher to
protect your newly exfoliated skin. While this procedure will offer remarkable results, it is
essential to remember that dermaplaning cannot eliminate all acne scars or halt the natural aging process.
What are the Side Effects of Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is considered a very low-risk procedure, and most patients experience minimal to
no skin irritation or adverse reactions after a dermaplaning treatment. Some patients may
experience temporary side effects including redness, soreness, or tingling sensations that could
last up to 48 hours after treatment. Dermaplaning does not typically cause hair to grow back thicker or darker. It is essential to
avoid dermaplaning if you have any inflammatory skin conditions such as acne, rosacea, psoriasis, eczema, or sunburn in order to avoid unnecessary skin irritation or damage.
