What is dermaplaning and why should I go to a spa to do it?

Dermaplaning is a NON-invasive cosmetic procedure that uses a blade to remove the top layers of skin. During dermaplaning dead skin cells and peach fuzz are scraped off with a scalpel. Dermaplaning is painless and has the ability to brighten dull complexions and improve uneven texture. Happily, the effects are also immediate; your skin will look and feel rejuvenated as soon as you leave the salon! Results last for about 4 weeks and work best if done regularly.

 Here’s a closer look at the process and its benefits:

Process of Dermaplaning

  1. Preparation: The skin is first cleansed to remove any makeup, oil, and impurities. A clean surface is essential for effective exfoliation.
  2. Exfoliation: A trained professional uses a sterilized surgical scalpel held at a 45-degree angle to gently scrape the surface of the skin. This process removes dead skin cells and fine hair.
  3. Aftercare: After the procedure, a soothing serum or moisturizer is usually applied to help calm and hydrate the skin. It’s also advisable to follow up with sunscreen, as freshly exfoliated skin can be more sensitive to UV rays.

At-Home vs. Professional Dermaplaning

Dermaplaning has become very popular, especially among celebrities and that has led to a lot of at-home dermaplane products. So if you can just do it at home, do you need to go to a spa to get the same results?

Investing in a professional dermaplane facial can be a great idea for several reasons:

1. Expert Technique

  • Skillful Application: Professional estheticians or dermatologists have training and experience in dermaplaning, which allows them to perform the procedure safely and effectively. They can minimize the risk of cuts and irritation that might occur with at-home attempts.

2. Optimal Results

  • Superior Exfoliation: A professional can achieve a deeper and more thorough exfoliation than most people can at home. This means better removal of dead skin cells and peach fuzz, leading to smoother, brighter skin.
  • Customized Treatments: Professionals can tailor the facial to your specific skin type and concerns, addressing issues like acne scars, dryness, or fine lines with additional products.

3. Additional Benefits

  • Multi-Step Treatment: A professional facial typically includes more than just dermaplaning. It can involve steam, masks, serums, and moisturizers that enhance the overall effect on your skin.
  • Enhanced Absorption: Following dermaplaning, your skin will better absorb serums and moisturizers, maximizing the benefit of skincare products applied afterward.

4. Reduced Risk of Damage

  • Minimized Irritation: Professionals are trained to recognize various skin types and know how to handle sensitive skin, which can minimize the risk of irritation, redness, or other adverse effects.

 

5. Professional Products

  • High-Quality Products: Salons and spas often use professional-grade skincare products that may not be available for home use. These products can enhance the dermaplaning experience and improve skin health.

6. Relaxation and Pampering

  • Spa Experience: A professional facial is not just about the treatment; it offers a relaxing and pampering experience that contributes to overall well-being and self-care.

7. Long-Term Skin Health

  • Preventative Care: Regular professional dermaplaning can promote healthier skin, potentially preventing clogged pores, acne, and other issues over time. It can also help enhance your overall skincare routine.

Overall, investing in a professional dermaplane facial can lead to immediate visible results, ongoing skin benefits, and a positive experience that contributes to your self-care regimen.
