There are many treatments for your skin that will make you look amazing but I’m excited to tell you about one of my favorites. Dermaplaning.
What is Dermaplaning?
What concerns many patients when learning about this procedure is that it involves a surgical blade. Being nervous of having a blade on your face is perfectly reasonable, but there is no need. This treatment is painless and quick and the benefits are immense. By using the blade across the skin it exfoliates dead skin and gets rid of that annoying “peach fuzz”. It reduces the appearance of acne scarring and sun damage as well as lessens fine lines and wrinkles.
How often can Dermaplaning be performed?
Because the procedure is removing layers of dead skin, it is necessary to allow the natural 30 day rejuvenation cycle of the skin before the procedure should be performed again. And after this quick 30 minute treatment your skin will be looking fresh and healthy.
What if the hair grows back thicker?
This is an area for all women that is a cause for concern. This treatment however cannot be thought of in the same way as shaving removes hair. The type of hair that Dermaplaning removes is vellus hair. When removed or cut by Dermaplaning it does not alter the shape and size unlike other types of hair known as terminal hair that you remove when shaving.
What areas of the body can be treated using Dermaplaning?
This treatment is performed on the face only. Excluding the nasal bridge and neck.
What skin types can be treated?
Dermaplaning is beneficial to all skin types aside from those that are acne prone. The reason why acne prone skin is not recommended for this treatment is because of the sebaceous glands that excrete oil along the vellus hair. Once the hair is removed the oils excreted may cause a buildup of bacteria which may cause an acne breakout.
So here at Skin Care By Calie, the Dermaplaning treatment is an excellent addition to the many services I already offer. Not every procedure is compatible with Dermaplaning, however there are a lot you can choose from. Pairing procedures together will give you the best results possible, evening out your skin and allowing that natural glow to come through. Once the dead skin cells are removed, at home skincare regiments are more effective because it is easier for the products to penetrate. It creates a fresh surface that is smooth and uniformed so even makeup that is applied will go on better and stay on longer. When paired with a chemical peel, you will experience less downtime peeling because the Dermaplaning removes the layer of dead skin allowing the peel to be more effective.
There are some many great benefits of this procedure so schedule your appointment for Dermaplaning today!
