Interested In Learning More About Dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning is a non-invasive skin resurfacing procedure that uses a special blade to gently remove the outer layers of dead skin cells and unwanted hair which immediately leaves the skin smooth, supple and vibrant. This exfoliation technique is ideal for removal of vellus facial hair (peach fuzz) which can trap excess dirt and oil.

Because dermaplaning is a quick procedure with few to no adverse effects, it has quickly gained popularity among cosmetic medical providers across the country. Using a scalpel and a delicate touch, the provider simply abrades the surface of the skin using light feathering strokes. This is a great treatment to offer to patients who are pregnant or nursing who want a deep exfoliation but are not allowed to use peeling agents on their skin because of the risk that the chemicals will be absorbed into the bloodstream, and may be transferred to the fetus or the child. It is also the first choice for patients who have excess vellus hair on the skin. This hair often causes a buildup of dirt and oils in the follicles, so removing the hair gives the patient healthier looking skin.

Many patients are often concerned that the hair will grow back heavier and darker after dermaplaning. This is not the case. As long as the hair is superficial vellus hair, it will grow back at the same rate and texture as before the treatment.
