What is Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is a professional exfoliation treatment that uses a sterile surgical blade to carefully remove the outermost layer of dead skin cells and fine facial hair, commonly known as “peach fuzz.” This gentle technique helps reveal a smoother, more refined complexion.
This treatment is highly versatile and can address a variety of skin concerns, including:
- Dull or uneven skin texture
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Acne scars
- Dry or flaky skin
How Does Dermaplaning Work?
Dermaplaning works by manually exfoliating the skin’s surface to remove debris and hair that can dull your complexion. During the procedure:
-
Preparation: Your skin is thoroughly cleansed to remove oils and impurities.
-
Exfoliation: Your registered nurse uses a sterile surgical blade and light, precise strokes to remove dead skin cells and fine facial hair.
-
Post-Treatment Care: A soothing moisturizer and SPF are applied to help hydrate and protect your skin.
Dermaplaning may be combined with treatments such as DiamondGlow® or SkinMedica® Chemical Peels when appropriate. Your provider will assess your skin and recommend the best treatment combination and timing for your individual needs.
Is Dermaplaning Right For You?
Dermaplaning may be suitable for many people who want to improve the appearance of uneven texture, dryness, or fine facial hair. You may be a good candidate if you:
- Have dry, flaky, or uneven skin
- Want to reduce the appearance of fine lines or acne scars
- Desire smoother makeup application or better skincare product absorption
However, those with active acne or certain skin conditions may need to wait until their skin clears before undergoing a treatment. A consultation will help determine if this treatment is right for you.
What to Expect During Your Treatment
Your dermaplaning experience at TELOS Medical Aesthetics is designed with your comfort and skin’s needs in mind. The treatment is generally gentle and well-tolerated, with little to no downtime.
Mild redness or temporary sensitivity may occur after your session. Your provider will recommend appropriate aftercare, including daily sun protection and gentle skincare, to help maintain your results and keep your complexion looking radiant.
When Will I See Results?
Dermaplaning results are generally visible immediately after treatment. Your skin will feel smoother and look more refreshed following your first session. Regular treatments may help maintain these results, depending on your skin’s needs and your provider’s recommendations.
How Often Should I Get Dermaplaning?
To maintain a consistently smooth and radiant complexion, many patients benefit from dermaplaning every four to six weeks. This interval allows time for the skin’s natural renewal process while supporting ongoing exfoliation. Your ideal treatment schedule will be determined by your skin’s needs, sensitivity, and aesthetic goals. At TELOS Medical Aesthetics, we take a personalized approach to help you maintain your results while prioritizing the health and integrity of your skin.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does dermaplaning make facial hair grow back thicker or darker?
No. Dermaplaning does not alter the thickness, color, or growth rate of facial hair. As the hair grows back, the blunt edge created by cutting it may feel slightly different to the touch, but its natural characteristics remain unchanged.
Is dermaplaning painful?
Dermaplaning is generally a comfortable, well-tolerated treatment that does not require numbing cream. Most patients describe the sensation as a gentle scraping across the skin, with little to no discomfort.
Is there downtime after dermaplaning?
One of the advantages of dermaplaning is its minimal recovery period. Most patients return to their regular activities immediately, although temporary redness or sensitivity may occur. Following your provider’s aftercare recommendations and applying daily sun protection are essential to maintaining a healthy-looking complexion.
Can dermaplaning be combined with other treatments?
Yes. Dermaplaning can complement select facial and skincare treatments as part of a customized approach to skin rejuvenation. Your provider will evaluate your skin and recommend appropriate combinations and timing to ensure your treatment plan is tailored to your needs.
Will dermaplaning help with acne or acne scars?
Dermaplaning can improve superficial skin roughness and help create a smoother-looking complexion, but it does not treat active acne or significantly improve deeper acne scars. Because the treatment may irritate active breakouts, an alternative approach may be recommended for acne-prone or inflamed skin.
