DERMAPLANING FACIAL
Dermaplaning can help reduce the appearance of acne scars or other skin imperfections by revealing newer, undamaged skin. It can make your skin look younger; though, it doesn’t stop the aging process. Some people also get dermaplaning for hair removal. This is only a temporary fix because your hair will grow back.
Most people get the procedure on their face, but you can do it anywhere on your body.
How does dermaplaning work?
- The fundamental principle of dermaplaning is similar to shaving, except instead of a razor, it employs a scalpel-type blade to remove skin cells, hair, and other debris from the skin’s surface.
- The continual exposure of the top layer of skin to UV radiation, environmental pollutants, and irritants causes it to seem dull. Dermaplaning removes the top layer of skin to expose fresh skin cells, making a person’s complexion smoother and more radiant.
- The majority of reports on the efficacy of dermaplaning and treatment outcomes may differ from person to person.
Procedure
- Dermaplaning is a skin resurfacing process that may be performed by a dermatologist.
- The expert should use a gentle cleanser containing alpha or beta hydroxy acids prior to the procedure to help remove dead skin cells.
- It is performed with a special instrument called a Dermatome. During this treatment, the patient may be given pain sensitivity to lessen any discomfort he or she may experience. The doctor uses the Dermatome to smooth away the skin’s superficial layer.
- This treatment is very adaptable and may be done on specific regions of the face or on the complete face. Depending on the patient’s requirements, the process might take anywhere from a few minutes to an hour to perform.
- During the process, the expert will hold a sterile 10-gauge scalpel at a 45-degree angle to the skin. They’ll pull the skin tight and use the blade to make small movements against the surface of the skin’s hair. Dermaplaning may be done as often as every two weeks depending on skin condition and patient’s requirement
Initial Consultation
Before any treatment, we will spend 10-15 minutes carrying out a skin condition assessment, using an analyser device, which enables our clinician to understand the health of the skin including, hydration, thickness and any underlying health issues.
Treatment Plan
Following the consultation, we will prepare a treatment plan which will set out how many sessions you might need and the intervals between the sessions. Each treatment session will normally be around 30-45 minutes.
What Can You Expect After A Dermaplaning
Dermaplaning removes dead skin and light peach fuzz from your face, revealing physically smoother skin that’s brighter and has a more even texture.
