How Dermaplaning Works:

​

1. Cleansing: The procedure begins with thoroughly cleansing the skin to remove makeup, oils, and dirt.

2. Exfoliation: Using a small, sterile surgical scalpel (similar to a razor), the esthetician gently scrapes off dead skin cells and fine vellus hair from the surface of the skin in light, controlled strokes.

3. Smoothing: The treatment is carefully done in a precise motion, often in upward and downward directions to ensure an even exfoliation.

4. Moisturization: After the treatment, soothing products like moisturizers, serums, and SPF (for sun protection) are applied to the skin, helping to lock in hydration and calm any potential redness.

​

Benefits of Dermaplaning:

1. Smooth, Radiant Skin: By removing dead skin cells and peach fuzz, dermaplaning helps reveal smoother, brighter, and more even-toned skin.

2. Improved Makeup Application: With the removal of fine hair and dead skin, makeup goes on more smoothly and looks more flawless, without clinging to dry patches.

3. Better Absorption of Skincare Products: Since dermaplaning removes the outermost layer of skin, it allows for better penetration of skincare products like moisturizers, serums, and sunscreens.

4. Non-invasive and Immediate Results: Dermaplaning is a painless, quick procedure that typically takes around 30-45 minutes, and you can see immediate results, including a refreshed and glowing complexion.

5. Safe for Most Skin Types: Dermaplaning is generally safe for all skin types, including sensitive skin. It’s often recommended for people with dry, dull, or uneven skin texture but can also be used to enhance the appearance of fine lines and acne scars.

While dermaplaning is a great option for exfoliating the skin and removing fine vellus hair (peach fuzz) temporarily, laser hair removal is a more long-term solution for those looking to reduce or eliminate unwanted facial hair, including both peach fuzz and thicker, coarser hair.

Laser hair removal uses focused light energy to target hair follicles and inhibit future hair growth, making it an attractive option for people who want permanent or long-term hair reduction.
