Dermaplaning
Dermaplaning removes the vellus hair and dead skin cells from your face. Once removed, it stimulates the growth of collagen which then helps brighten and smooth the skin’s complexion. Your skin will also be able to absorb skincare products better. Dermaplaning can be done quickly, in as little as 15 minutes, resulting in facial skin that is as soft as a baby’s.
Dermaplaning is safe and great for all skin types except acne-prone skin. Our aesthetic doctors use a scalpel held at a 45-degree to gently graze the blade over your facial skin. Dermaplaning is also known as dermablading, as a razor or scalpel is used to remove “peach fuzz” hair and dead skin. The procedure is customized to your needs and can be performed in one area or the whole face. We highly recommend our patients pair it with a hydrafacial.
What Does Dermaplaning Do?
- Reduce and prevent acne. People with certain hyperpigmentation such as dark spots or uneven skin tones may notice improvement of acne scarring and hyperpigmentation after dermaplaning treatments.
- Remove dead skin, bacteria and stimulate collagen and elastin growth.
- Reduces the formation of lines and wrinkles.
- Increase absorption of topical products.
- Results in healthier and radiant skin.
Dermaplaning is ideal for people who want to remove the “peach fuzz” or venous hair from their face. Anyone with healthy skin may find the procedure beneficial.
Dermaplaning is not recommended if you:
- have active acne breakouts
- have raised vascular lesions
- suffer from eczema
- have skin with hypertrophic scarring or keloid formations
- have pigmentation problems
- have sensitive skin types
- suffer from an inflammatory skin condition like rosacea and psoriasis
Many of our customers have concerns about hair growing back thicker after dermaplaning. In fact, dermaplaning doesn’t make hair grow back thicker or darker. In addition, it doesn’t cause any hyperpigmentation for darker skin tones like waxing or shaving. Your hair will grow back to the same rate and texture as it was before the treatment.
You can do dermaplaning every 2 to 3 weeks. Our aestheticians recommend that you do dermaplaning together with a HydraFacial treatment for the best radiant skin results.
Dermaplaning is a non-invasive and non-chemical treatment that is safe for your skin. A highly skilled and trained aesthetician will use a disposable sterile blade to perform the procedure. At Lazaderm, our aestheticians stay committed to delivering the most effective and safest procedures.
We recommend you cleanse your face gently before the procedures and use moisturizers or skin care products after treatment to avoid skin redness. For the best outcomes, you can start with our HydraFacia lbefore your procedure.
There are some differences between DIY dermaplaning and in-office procedures. At our medical spa, our aestheticians are licensed and they use a surgical blade that can help with deeper exfoliation. In addition, before the procedure, our aestheticians will give you a free consultation to learn if you’re the right candidate for dermaplaning, and they would offer add-on treatments to achieve the optimal skin results (if needed). If you decide to dermaplane at home, be mindful of your skin conditions. You would want to avoid acne areas and make sure your skin doesn’t get cut.
