Dermaplaning is a popular skincare treatment that involves using a small blade to exfoliate the skin and remove vellus hair (also known as “peach fuzz”). This simple yet effective treatment can provide numerous benefits for your skin.
So what exactly is dermaplaning, and what are the benefits for your skin? Let’s take a closer look.
What is Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is a non-invasive skin resurfacing treatment that involves using a sterile surgical scalpel to gently remove the outermost layer of dead skin cells and vellus hair from the face. This painless treatment typically takes around 30 minutes and can be done in-office by a trained esthetician.
Benefits of Dermaplaning
Now that we understand the basics of what dermaplaning entails, let’s take a closer look at some of the key benefits of this treatment for your skin:
Smoother Skin: Dermaplaning can help to improve the texture of your skin by removing the outermost layer of dead skin cells. This can leave your skin feeling smoother and more radiant.
Improved Product Absorption: By removing the layer of dead skin cells and vellus hair, dermaplaning can also help to improve the absorption of your skincare products. This means that the active ingredients in your products are better able to penetrate the skin and provide maximum benefits.
Reduced Appearance of Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Dermaplaning can help to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by stimulating cell turnover and promoting the production of collagen and elastin.
Better Makeup Application: Removing vellus hair and dead skin cells can also help to create a smoother surface for makeup application. This can lead to a more flawless, natural-looking finish.
Safe for All Skin Types: Dermaplaning is a safe and effective treatment for all skin types, including sensitive skin. Unlike other forms of exfoliation, such as chemical peels, dermaplaning does not use harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that can irritate the skin.
Overall, dermaplaning is a simple yet effective way to improve the health and appearance of your skin. By providing smoother skin, improved product absorption, reduced appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, better makeup application, and safety for all skin types, dermaplaning can help you achieve the smoother, brighter skin you’ve always wanted.
