Dermaplaning is a cosmetic procedure that exfoliates dirt, oil, and dead skin cells from the surface of the skin. This improves skin tone and texture, unclogs pores, minimizes the appearance of fine lines or acne scars, and increases the penetration and effectiveness of skincare products. Dermaplaning treatments are non-invasive and chemical-free, making them safe for most skin types. Dermaplaning can be performed as a standalone treatment or as part of a more comprehensive dermaplaning facial.
Before a dermaplaning session, a trained aesthetician prepares the skin with a thorough cleaning. Sometimes the skin is pre-treated with oil to provide hydration and reduce irritation. After prepping, the top layer of skin is held taut and scraped in an upward motion with a sterile surgical scalpel. When this exfoliating process is finished, the esthetician may apply a moisturizer or cooling serum to calm the skin.
Dermaplaning is safe for all skin types and tones. The procedure may not be suitable for those with an active acne outbreak, eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, or open cuts though.
Those with sensitive skin can benefit from dermaplaning as it can help with better product absorption, smoother skin, and a more hydrated appearance.
There is no downtime after a dermaplaning treatment. Immediately following a dermaplaning session, one may experience minor redness or sensitivity that subside within a day. Aftercare includes avoiding sun exposure, harsh skincare products, and picking at the skin.
The average person should have a dermaplaning session every 3-4 weeks for maximum results. Those with sensitive skin should wait longer between sessions, up to 6-8 weeks.
No, dermaplaning does not make hair grow back thicker (or darker). Dermaplaning only removes fine “peach fuzz” hairs and does not impact the follicles at all.
Yes, dermaplaning removes pore-clogging dirt, oil, dead skin cells, and other debris from the skin.
Dermaplaning is an excellent exfoliation method that can improve surface dullness, allows for greater absorption of skincare products, and may even stimulate collagen production.
Dermaplaning and chemical peels can be performed in a single session. Dermaplaning exfoliates the skin’s surface, allowing for deeper, more even penetration of the chemical peel.
