Dermaplaning is a type of “manual exfoliation,” ideal for removing facial hair and dead skin cells in order to allow smoother, more radiant skin to shine. Using a finely honed tool known as a dermaplane scalpel, a highly trained and skilled medical aesthetician will make gentle, practiced strokes at a precise 45-degree angle to softly sweep off the top layer of dead skin cells and reveal younger-looking you.
As an exfoliating treatment, dermaplaning removes dead and dull skin cells to give the skin a radiant complexion and address fine lines and wrinkles. It also opens pores and shaves away fine vellus hairs, more commonly known as peach fuzz.
Not only does this give your skin a more porcelain-like look, but it also makes makeup application easier and more effective. Topical products will be absorbed more readily, and your foundation and other cosmetics of choice will glide on more evenly for a more flawless look and finish.
Dermaplaning can also reduce the appearance of certain acne scars, as well as make future acne breakouts less likely since it opens the pores.
The medical clinicians who perform dermaplaning at VITRA Aesthetics Clinic have put extensive study and training into dermaplane. Every effort is made to create a relaxing environment for the safest and gentlest treatment possible. Many people have described the feel of the dermaplane moving across their skin’s surface as “light” and “feathery.”
The specialized tool is made and applied with delicate precision for incredibly fine results. The entire session can be completed in as little as 20 minutes, making it a quick revitalization that can easily fit into even busy schedules.
Your skin will look smoother, fresher, brighter, and more radiant right away. Dermaplaning treatments are so gentle, that there is no downtime required. Feel free to get right back to whatever activities you would like as soon as you feel ready!
The Benefits of Dermaplaning
Dermaplaning is packed with benefits that make your skin look and feel its best:
- Exfoliation: Removes the buildup of dead skin cells that can leave your skin looking dull and rough, revealing a smoother, brighter complexion.
- Smoother Texture: Your skin will feel luxuriously soft and look smooth.
- Brightened Complexion: Uncover a fresh, healthy glow by removing that top layer of your skin and peach fuzz.
- Reduced Appearance of Fine Lines: Gently helps minimize the look of fine lines and wrinkles over time.
- Enhanced Product Absorption: Boosts the effectiveness of your favorite skincare products by allowing them to sink deeper into your skin.
The Potential Side Effects of Dermaplaning
Dermaplaning is generally safe and low-risk, especially when done by a skilled professional. But like any skincare treatment, there can be a few temporary side effects, which include:
- Redness and Sensitivity: You might notice some mild redness or a bit of sensitivity right after the treatment, but don’t worry—it usually fades within a few hours.
- Dryness or Flaking: Some clients experience slight dryness or flakiness as their skin adjusts to the exfoliation. A gentle moisturizer can help keep your skin feeling comfortable.
- Breakouts: Although uncommon, a few people may have minor breakouts as newly exposed pores adjust.
- Minor Cuts or Scratches: In rare cases, small nicks or scratches can happen, especially if the skin is highly sensitive or if the procedure isn’t done with care.
Another option for exfoliation involves the use of specially formulated solutions known as chemical peels. These prompt a more gradual reveal of younger layers of skin, with results that become increasingly visible in the days after a session. The sophisticated HydraFacial® device provides exfoliating benefits while simultaneously extracting impurities and infusing the skin with hydrating serums.
For a pampering experience that exfoliates, hydrates, and enhances the skin’s natural glow, choose from one of VITRA’s medical-grade facials. DiamondGlow™ uses a diamond-tipped wand to uncover fresh layers, as well as deeply cleanse and infuse SkinMedica® serums.
Frequently Asked Questions about Dermaplaning
Is dermaplaning safe?
Absolutely! When done by a trained and licensed professional, dermaplaning is safe and effective. At VITRA Aesthetics, we follow strict safety protocols and use sterilized equipment to ensure you get the best results with minimal risk. While it works wonders for most skin types, if you have active acne, severe rosacea, or an inflammatory skin condition, it’s a good idea to talk with one of our experts before booking your session.
How long does a dermaplaning session take?
A typical dermaplaning session at VITRA Aesthetics is quick and easy—about 30 to 45 minutes. This includes a brief skin assessment, the treatment itself, and any post-treatment care to leave you glowing and ready to go!
How often should I get dermaplaning?
For most people, scheduling a dermaplaning treatment every 4 to 6 weeks works best. This timing aligns with your skin’s natural cell turnover and helps keep your skin smooth and radiant. Regular sessions can help you maintain that fresh, rejuvenated look while promoting healthy skin long-term.
Does dermaplaning hurt?
Not at all! Dermaplaning is painless, and most people describe it as a gentle, soothing scrape. At VITRA Aesthetics, we take extra steps to make sure you’re comfortable throughout the session so you can enjoy the experience without worry.
Will dermaplaning make my hair grow back thicker?
No! Don’t worry about that old myth. The fine, unwanted hair that’s removed during dermaplaning grows back at the same rate and texture as before. Since the treatment only trims the hair at the surface without affecting the follicle, your hair won’t come back thicker or darker.
Is there any downtime after dermaplaning?
Not really! Dermaplaning has minimal downtime, so it’s perfect if you want to fit a quick treatment into your busy schedule. You might notice a bit of redness or sensitivity right after, but it usually fades in a few hours. Just remember to steer clear of direct sun exposure for at least 24 hours afterward to avoid sunburn and keep your skin looking the best.
Which is better for my skin—dermaplaning or waxing?
It really depends on your skin type and what you’re looking for! Dermaplaning is a top pick if you want a dual treatment that exfoliates and removes fine hair for smoother skin. It’s pain-free, quick, and gives you an instant glow.
Waxing is great if you’re trying to remove coarser hair from larger areas, like your legs or underarms. For your face, though, dermaplaning is usually the better bet if you want less irritation and more exfoliation.
Who is a good candidate for dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning suits most skin tones, especially if you’re looking for smoother skin, a brighter complexion, or a better makeup application. At VITRA Aesthetics, we’ll help evaluate your skin and guide you to the perfect treatment plan.
How should I care for my skin after the dermaplaning procedure?
Aftercare is key to maintaining your glow! Here are a few must-dos:
- Hydrate: Use a gentle, nourishing moisturizer to keep your skin happy and hydrated.
- Sun Protection: Be sure to apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher, as your skin will be a bit more sensitive to UV rays post-treatment.
- Avoid Harsh Products: Hold off on exfoliants or strong, active ingredients, like retinoids or AHAs, for at least 48 hours.
- Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water to keep your skin looking plump and refreshed from the inside out.
