DERMAPLANING
Dermaplaning is a highly effective and safe mechanical exfoliation procedure that provides an immediate glow to the skin. It works by removing the outermost layer of dead surface cells and the downy hair on the skin’s surface using a sterile surgical blade. This physical exfoliation technique stimulates cellular regeneration and enhances the penetration of skincare products. Dermaplaning is a great option for those with sensitive skin or during pregnancy, and it also prepares the skin for other aesthetic medicine treatments.
WHAT TO EXPECT FROM THE TREATMENT?
Dermaplaning is a skin treatment suitable for all skin types and colors, except for extremely oily skin or severe acne. It is recommended to schedule sessions every 4 to 6 weeks for optimal results. Although patients may notice a healthier appearance after their first session, the most significant benefits are achieved after a series of treatments. It’s worth noting that the skin’s collagen regeneration cycle is approximately 28 to 30 days, and slight regrowth of downy hair may occur during the first week.
Dermaplaning is an excellent complement to other treatments, including IPL, laser resurfacing, facials, chemical peels, and laser hair removal. Specifically, it’s particularly beneficial to undergo dermaplaning before IPL treatments, which are designed to absorb pigment in hair follicles. By removing hair before IPL treatment, dermaplaning ensures better pigment absorption and reduces discomfort during the treatment.

FAQ’S ABOUT DERMAPLANING
Am I a suitable candidate for Dermaplaning?
If you have aging, dry, rough, or uneven skin tone, then you are the ideal candidate for Dermaplaning. This treatment is also helpful in reducing the appearance of shallow acne scars, fine lines, and superficial hyperpigmentation.
*Individual results may vary.
Is Dermaplaning a safe procedure?
Dermaplaning is an extremely safe procedure when performed by a properly trained skincare professional. It is no riskier than shaving your legs and there is no downtime associated with it.
*Individual results may vary.
Does Dermaplaning hurt? Will it cause cuts?
Dermaplaning involves a gentle scraping motion across the skin’s surface, making it entirely painless. Although there is a risk of cuts on the skin, they are minor and heal within 24-48 hours as the pressure used for Dermaplaning cannot cause deep cuts.
*Individual results may vary.
Will Dermaplaning make facial hair grow back thicker and darker?
No, it won’t. There are two different types of hair that grow on the body: vellus hair and terminal hair. Vellus hair is soft and fine and can be found on most areas of the body except palms, soles, lips, and genital areas. Terminal hair, on the other hand, is found on the scalp, underarms, and pubic region. Dermaplaning only removes vellus hair, which grows back at the same rate and texture.
*Individual results may vary.
How long does the treatment take and how often can it be done?
Dermaplaning takes approximately 30-45 minutes and can be performed every 4-6 weeks for optimal results. The treatment removes approximately 28 to 30 days, and slight regrowth of downy hair may occur during the first week, so it is important to let your skin rejuvenate before scheduling your next appointment.
