What is Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is a skin rejuvenation treatment that’s done in-office by a dermatologist or aesthetician, who uses a surgical scalpel to gently scrape away dead cells and vellus hair (aka peach fuzz) from your skin’s surface.
Similar to shaving, it’s typically performed on the face—but because a professional uses a scalpel rather than a razor, the sloughing goes deeper than you’re able to achieve at home. Dermaplaning can be a standalone treatment to brighten the skin, or you can pair it with another facial for a comprehensive treatment. There is no downtime, and you are free to get back to your regular routine after your appointment (although we recommend wearing sunscreen to protect your skin).
The Many Benefits of Adding Dermaplaning to Your Skincare Routine
Unlike other exfoliating treatment options, which may irritate sensitive skin, Dermaplaning is gentle enough for most skin types. The benefits are similar to those of other in-office exfoliating treatments, such as microdermabrasion or a mild chemical peel. Some patients prefer that Dermaplaning gets rid of excess peach fuzz.
You can expect skin-enhancing results such as:
- Brightening and evening skin tone
- Creating a smoother texture
- Diminishing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
- Treating and minimizing acne scars
- Removal of peach fuzz
- Smoother makeup appliecation
- Better absorption of moisturizers and serums
Because the treatment removes the top layer of dead cells, it may also improve the absorption of skin-care products for up to 21 days—the approximate length of time it takes for a new layer of dead skin cells to accumulate.
What to Expect at Your Dermaplaning Session
First, skin is thoroughly cleansed and degreased with an alcohol swab to remove excess oil. The dermaplane facial is painless, so no local anesthesia or topical numbing cream is applied.
Your esthetician uses one hand to gently stretch each area of skin so it’s taut and smooth, then carefully slides the scalpel over the skin’s surface, scraping away dead skin cells and facial hair with short, quick strokes. The sensation feels similar to shaving. Once Dermaplaning is complete, your provider will clear away residue and rehydrate the skin with a rich moisturizer. Most treatments take between 20 and 30 minutes.
From Dull to Dazzling: Dermaplaning Results
Dermaplaning effectively removes the top layer of dead skin cells, which evens skin tone and texture while reducing the appearance of acne scars and fine lines. Your skin will be smoother and brighter after a quick rejuvenation treatment. Plus, dermaplane facials improve the effectiveness of skincare product absorption, which will make your regular skincare routine more effective. Results typically last between three to four weeks.
Depending on your skin concerns, multiple treatments may be what you need to significant results. This is the same with any exfoliation treatment; the best results of occur after a series of sessions. Typically, a series includes six treatments, but many patients feel they begin to see significant changes in their skin within two to three treatments.
Does Dermaplaning Make Hair Grow Back Thicker?
Don’t worry, removing your vellus hair (peach fuzz) does not make it grow back thicker. It’s a common and false misconception that shaving or Dermaplaning causes hair to grow back darker or coarser. Hair will grow back at a normal rate and will not change in any way.
Understanding Your Dermaplaning Candidacy
Since it is such a gentle treatment, most people are good candidates for Dermaplaning. Consider reaching out for a Dermaplaning consultation if you’re dealing with:
- Dull, rough, or uneven skin texture
- A lot of peach fuzz hair
- A mild case of fine lines and wrinkles
- Light to moderate acne scarring
- Feeling like you look older than you are
- Skincare products that aren’t absorbing well
If you have a history of cold sores, share that information with your doctor or aesthetician, since any exfoliating treatment can trigger a herpes flare-up. To be safe, a doctor may prescribe an antiviral medication, such as Valtrex.
Is Dermaplaning Safe?
In the wrong hands, Dermaplaning can result in nicks or cuts. That’s why you should only choose treatment at the hands of an experienced dermatologist, plastic surgeon, physician, or certified aesthetician. Although home Dermaplaning products do exist, most doctors caution against attempting Dermaplaning at home (with a traditional razor or a Dermaplaning tool) because of the potential to scrape too deeply, injure your skin, or cause scarring.
