Dermaplaning
Dermaplaning is a minimally invasive procedure that shaves away the top layers of your skin. Dermaplaning can help reduce the appearance of acne scars or other skin imperfections by revealing newer undamaged skin. It can make your skin look younger; though, it doesn’t stop the aging process. Some people also get dermaplaning for hair removal. This is only a temporary fix because your hair will grow back. Most people get the procedure on their face, but you can do it anywhere on your body.
Who gets dermaplaning?
You may consider dermaplaning if you have skin concerns such as:
Acne scars.
Actinic keratosis.
Dull or dry skin.
Peach fuzz (light, soft hair on your face).
Skin damaged by sun exposure.
Fine lines (wrinkles).
What happens during dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning doesn’t require general anesthesia, but your healthcare provider might put a numbing cream or spray on your face about half an hour before the procedure.
You might feel a scratching or stinging sensation on your skin, but dermaplaning usually isn’t painful.
Your healthcare provider uses a special instrument called a dermatome to remove hair and skin cells. It doesn’t make cuts in your skin, but gently shaves off the top layers of skin.
Afterward, they may apply a soothing gel or ointment to your skin to reduce redness, swelling or irritation.
The treatment can last anywhere from a few minutes to an hour and a half. The length of the procedure depends on the size of the area that needs treatment.
