What is Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is a procedure that involves using a sterile surgical scalpel to gently scrape the surface of the skin, to remove dead skin cells and vellus hair (peach fuzz). It is a non-invasive and relatively painless treatment that aims to exfoliate the skin and reveal a smoother, brighter complexion. During the dermaplaning process, our trained aestheticians hold the skin taut and use short, swift strokes with the scalpel at a 45-degree angle. The strokes are typically performed in an upward motion, covering the entire face excluding sensitive areas such as the eyelids or nose. The scalpel's blade is specifically designed to safely remove the outermost layer of dead skin cells and hair without causing any cuts or pain.
The Process of Dermaplaning:
-
Exfoliation: Dermaplaning is primarily used as a gentle exfoliation method. It effectively removes the outer layer of dead skin cells, helping to improve the skin's texture and brightness. By eliminating this layer, it can also enhance the penetration and efficacy of skincare products applied afterward.
-
Peach fuzz removal: Dermaplaning effectively removes vellus hair (fine facial hair) along with dead skin cells. This can leave the skin looking and feeling smoother and can create a flawless canvas for makeup application.
-
Enhancing product absorption: After dermaplaning, skincare products such as serums, moisturizers, and masks can penetrate more deeply into the skin, as there is no layer of dead skin cells or hair obstructing their absorption. This can maximize the benefits of these products.
-
Makeup application: With the removal of vellus hair, dermaplaning can create a smooth surface for makeup application. Makeup can glide on more easily, giving a more flawless and airbrushed finish.
-
Brightening and rejuvenation: By removing the outer layer of dead skin cells, dermaplaning can help improve dull, uneven skin tone, giving the skin a brighter and more youthful appearance.
-
Fine lines and wrinkles: Dermaplaning can temporarily reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The exfoliation process and stimulation of the skin can improve the overall texture and firmness, resulting in a smoother and more youthful-looking complexion.
The Benefits of Dermaplaning:
-
Acne treatment: Alpha hydroxy acids help exfoliate the skin, remove dead skin cells, and unclog pores, which can reduce the occurrence of acne breakouts. They also have anti-inflammatory properties that can help calm existing acne lesions.
-
Acne scar reduction: By promoting cell turnover and stimulating the growth of new skin cells, alpha facial peels can help fade acne scars over time, improving the skin's texture and reducing the appearance of post-acne marks.
-
Skin rejuvenation: Alpha hydroxy acids have a mild exfoliating effect, which can help improve the overall texture and tone of the skin. Regular use of alpha facial peels can make the skin appear smoother, more radiant, and youthful.
-
Hyperpigmentation treatment: Alpha hydroxy acids can help lighten areas of hyperpigmentation, such as dark spots and sunspots, by breaking down melanin and promoting new cell growth.
-
Fine line and wrinkle reduction: AHA peels can stimulate collagen production in the skin, which can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, making the skin look more youthful and plump.
-
Improved skin absorption: By removing the dead skin cell layer, alpha facial peels can enhance the absorption of skincare products, allowing them to penetrate deeper into the skin for better efficacy.
