What is dermaplaning?

 

Also known as blading, skin resurfacing or skin/epidermal levelling, Dermaplaning removes the outer most layers of dead skin cells, leaving the skin immediately smooth, supple and vibrant. It is a non-traumatic method of skin rejuvenation and completely comfortable.

Additional benefits of buffing the top layer of dead skin cells away helps to reveal a brighter and smoother complexion, greater penetration of skincare products as well as creating a flawless canvas for makeup to glide on smoothly.

The Treatment Involves:

Derma planing
A light bespoke resurfacing peel or hydrating mask
LED Light Therapy to help stimulate collagen production and cell renewal

Dermaplaning Aftercare


Despite popular belief, the hair does not grow back thicker. Although merely an old wives’ tale, many people 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.

FAQ

Derma planing is a minimally invasive skin treatment that uses a sterile blade to remove the top layer of dead skin cells and vellus hair (peach fuzz). This can help to improve the appearance of the skin in a number of ways, including:

  • Reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
  • Improving skin tone and texture
  • Reducing the appearance of hyperpigmentation
  • Reducing pore size
  • Smoothing out the skin
  • Increasing the penetration of skincare products

Derma planing is a good option for people of all ages and skin types, including sensitive skin. However, it is important to consult with a qualified practitioner to determine if dermaplaning is right for you, especially if you have any active skin conditions, such as acne or rosacea.

Derma planing can be done every 3-4 weeks to maintain the results. However, it is important to consult with your practitioner to determine how often you should have dermaplaning, as the frequency may vary depending on your individual needs.

There is minimal downtime associated with derma planing. Most people can return to their normal activities immediately after treatment. However, it is important to avoid sun exposure for a few days after treatment, as the skin will be more sensitive.

After derma planing, it is important to:

  • Avoid sun exposure for a few days.
  • Apply sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher to the treated area daily.
  • Wash the treated area with a gentle cleanser and pat dry.
  • Avoid using harsh chemicals or exfoliants on the treated area.

The cost of derma planing will vary depending on the practitioner and the location of the clinic. However, it is typically more affordable than other facial treatments, such as laser treatments and chemical peels.

It is important to find a qualified practitioner to perform derma planing. You can ask your dermatologist or other healthcare provider for a referral, or you can search online for practitioners who are certified in dermaplaning.

No, derma planing does not make hair grow back thicker. Hair grows back at the same rate and texture as before the treatment.
