What Is Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning has gained popularity as a minimally invasive procedure favored by those seeking a smoother complexion and diminished acne scars.
Whether targeting specific areas or the entire face, dermaplaning involves the use of a handheld instrument known as a dermatome. This specialized tool gently glides over the skin’s surface, effectively exfoliating the top layer and eliminating complexion-dulling residue. The result is a revitalized and radiant appearance that leaves your face looking smooth and glowing.
The procedure is non-surgical and non-invasive, making it an attractive choice for individuals who prefer less aggressive treatments with minimal downtime. By removing the outermost layer of dead skin cells and vellus hairs (peach fuzz), dermaplaning encourages better absorption of skincare products and enhances the overall efficacy of your skincare routine.
Additionally, dermaplaning is a safe and effective way to prepare the skin for other treatments like chemical peels or laser procedures, maximizing their benefits and delivering more significant results.
