Dermaplaning at Skin Care Doctors uses a surgical scalpel to remove the outermost layers of dead skin cells and fine hair from the face to help you achieve smoother, brighter, more youthful-looking skin.
Dermaplaning is a safe and effective treatment used to exfoliate the skin while removing unwanted facial hair. It can improve the texture and tone of your skin, reduce fine lines, and make your skin look brighter and more radiant. Dermaplaning is also a great way to prepare the skin for other cosmetic treatments, such as chemical peels or laser resurfacing.
Dermaplaning uses a sterile surgical scalpel held at a 45-degree angle and moved across the skin in short, swift strokes to gently scrape off the top layer of dead cells and fine vellus hair, or "peach fuzz," from the face. The procedure is non-invasive and painless and works on all skin types to improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and hyperpigmentation. Dermaplaning also may enhance the effectiveness of skincare products by allowing them to better penetrate your skin so it looks brighter, smoother, and more youthful.
The best candidates for dermaplaning are looking to improve the appearance of their skin, reduce the appearance of wrinkles, and improve the texture and tone of the skin. It is a good option for those with dry or rough skin, as it can help remove dead skin cells and promote a more radiant complexion.
Dermaplaning is not recommended for those with active acne or other skin conditions that cause inflammation or irritation. It is also unsuitable for those with a history of keloid scarring or prone to excessive scarring. If you take blood thinning medication or have a bleeding disorder, dermaplaning can increase the risk of bleeding and bruising.
