What is dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning is a skin resurfacing technique that relies on a sharp, sterile blade and a skilled hand. The process involves maneuvering the blade across the surface of your skin, removing the outermost layers of dead skin and impurities, and revealing a layer of fresh skin cells. 

Many people love dermaplaning because it offers the chance to improve the look and feel of skin without light-based treatments, chemicals, or invasive procedures. Not everyone is a good candidate for these treatments, but virtually everyone can move forward with dermaplaning. 

What kinds of skin issues can dermaplaning improve?

Dermaplaning is a versatile treatment option that can address numerous common skin issues. Some of the conditions for which people get dermaplaning include:

• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Sun damage
• Acne scarring
• Actinic keratosis
• Dry skin
• Dull skin tone

Dermaplaning also removes all traces of facial hair, giving you a soft, smooth finish without waxing or using depilatory creams. 

What happens during dermaplaning?

When you arrive for your treatment, a quick skin assessment and discussion of your health history and treatment goals ensure dermaplaning is a good fit for your needs. If you decide to move forward, it’s time to get comfortable on the treatment table. 

Your practitioner cleanses your skin first to remove any products, oil, and debris. As they move the handheld blade across the surface of your skin at a 45-degree angle, expect them to gently stretch your skin to create a taut surface. This step ensures your treatment is as safe and effective as possible. 

You might hear light brushing or scraping sounds as your practitioner works on your skin, but there is no pain. Most people find their treatments incredibly relaxing once they get used to the sensations associated with dermaplaning. There’s no need for recovery time after treatment. 

It might be possible to combine dermaplaning with a chemical peel, which helps the chemical solution penetrate even more deeply, enhancing the end result. Ask your practitioner if this approach is right for you during your next visit to Ardmore Aesthetic Solutions, which you can book online or over the phone at your earliest convenience.
