Dermaplaning is a relatively new form of manual exfoliation meant to be performed primarily on the face. Dermaplaning is an advanced SkinLaze™ procedure for exfoliating the outer layer of your skin (called the epidermis) and removing the fine vellus hair (peach fuzz) on your face. Also known as leveling the skin or simply blading, the actual treatment is performed by a licensed practitioner and involves the use of a sterile surgical blade, known as a dermatome. The dermatome is held against taut skin at a 45-degree angle and stroked in a manner similar to shaving. This method removes the outermost layer of dead skin cells, leaving the skin smooth and supple.
Dermaplaning is also known as surgical scraping as it uses a blade to remove dead skin and peach fuzz that contributes to a lackluster appearance. Dermaplaning is perfect for anyone who has uneven skin texture and tone and is looking for a safe, painless way to smooth their skin and have baby soft soft skin. Benefits of Dermaplaning include:
1.) helps to refinish top layers
2.) removes “peach fuzz” which can trap excess dirt and oil
3.) smooths the skins surface
4.) enhances the effectiveness of other treatments
Before and Afters
It is recommended that the procedure be done every 3 to 4 weeks (or once a month), which coincides with a normal skin cycle of approximately 30 days. Along with sloughing away dead skin cells, dermaplaning can help reduce the visibility of acne scarring and slight wrinkling, as well as do away with extraneous vellous (translucent) hairs on the face. If desired, the procedure can be followed with a chemical peel, though this could potentially cause the skin to peel due to over-exfoliation.
Dermaplaning is ideal for those with uneven skin, acne scarring, and fine lines around their mouth and eyes and removes and peach fuzz on their face. Dermaplaning can also serve as an adequate treatment for men who suffer from razor burn and bumps caused by shaving. However, because the procedure is a healthy treatment for the skin on your face, almost all people can benefit from the skin rejuvenation that dermaplaning promotes, no matter what skin color and skin type for any male or female

Benefits
There are several benefits to blading that may make it the ideal method of skin exfoliation for you. First of all, no chemicals are involved, which means less irritation for your newly sensitive skin. Secondly, a session will generally last no more than 30 minutes and won’t leave you with a red, swollen complexion afterwards. In fact, results can be noticed immediately. Furthermore, because the blade being used is small, dermaplaning can target specific problem areas more easily and skillfully than other procedures that use larger instruments and focus on the face as a whole. To top that off, dermaplaning generally costs around $100 per session, which is relatively cheap compared to similar procedures such as TCA peels ($800) and dermabrasion ($1,500 to $2,000).
