Dermaplaning Can Be Done Once A Month

Dermaplaning is a procedure that is gaining in popularity, mainly because of its simple nature and amazing results. Without the use of chemicals or harsh exfoliates, dermaplaning can leave your skin glowing, fresh, and hair-free after just one 45-minute session. And there’s no recovery time.

Dermaplaning involves your doctor or dermatologist gently using a scalpel to lightly shave the top layer of dead skin off your face, uncovering the fresh, glowing skin beneath. As an added bonus, the tiny ‘peach fuzz’ hairs on the sides of your face are also shaved off, leaving your skin completely smooth and soft to the touch.

Unlike Dermabrasion, which can easily leave scars, or chemical peels, which can burn delicate skin, dermaplaning is performed with your doctor’s skilled hands and done slowly and gently. This is also beneficial for pregnant women or nursing mothers who cannot use chemicals with their sensitive skin due to hormone fluctuations! Dermaplaning can be done once a month, as that is the time it takes for skin to replenish itself.

Dermaplaning, however, is not right for everyone, particularly those with very oily skin or with severe acne since it can worsen these conditions. Speak with your doctor to know whether dermaplaning is something you can consider with your skin type.

Dermaplaning is not a common procedure in many doctors’ offices, mainly because it requires special training. At the Dermatology Group of Southern California and North Carolina , we have excellent dermaplaning training and will give you the professional and careful treatment your skin deserves. If you’re not sure whether your skin is right for dermaplaning, come in for a consultation. Dermaplaning can be an amazing treatment for the right skin type, and if you choose to undergo it, we know you’ll love the results!
