Who is a good candidate for dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning is a great option for almost any skin type. Good candidates will be those with healthy skin who are looking to eliminate vellus hair, dead skin cells, and dirt from their skin for a smoother, more radiant complexion. Be sure to let our Medical Aestheticians know about any skincare concerns you have before treatment.

What should I do after my dermaplaning appointment?

Following your dermaplaning appointment, avoid direct sun exposure for at least three days, avoid scrubs and exfoliators for one week, and avoid chlorine and extreme heat for 1 week. Also, be sure to apply the appropriate serums and moisturizers, and use sunscreen when outdoors. These steps will help you enjoy optimal benefits from dermaplaning.

How is dermaplaning different than shaving?

Dermaplaning is not the same as shaving. Dermaplaning uses a smaller blade to slough away dead skin cells and vellus hair, so the skin is more even in its texture and tone. Overall, dermaplaning provides much better exfoliation than shaving and scrubs do.

How long do the effects of dermaplaning last for?

The results of dermaplaning are not permanent. However, the results will last for three weeks to one month. After that time, another treatment will be needed to achieve the same results.

How do I prepare my skin for dermaplaning?

Prior to your dermaplaning appointment, there are some things you can do to prep your skin. Avoid exfoliating your skin for at least five days prior to treatment, stay out of the sun and avoid sunburn, and avoid dermaplaning at home. These steps will allow for your skin to be in the best shape for your dermaplaning appointment.

How does dermaplaning differ from shaving?

Unlike basic shaving, dermaplaning is a professional exfoliation method performed by a trained specialist. It removes both dead skin buildup and vellus hair to reveal a more radiant complexion, while shaving only removes hair.

What are the benefits of dermaplaning?

Benefits include smoother skin texture, improved product absorption, a brighter appearance, and a flawless makeup application. It can also help reduce the appearance of fine lines and mild acne scars.

Is dermaplaning safe for all skin types?

Yes, dermaplaning is safe for most skin types, including sensitive skin. However, it may not be recommended for those with active acne or certain skin conditions. Dr. Bachilo’s team will assess your skin before treatment.

Does dermaplaning cause hair to grow back thicker?

No, dermaplaning does not change the structure or growth rate of hair. Vellus hair grows back with the same texture and color it had before the treatment.

How often should I get dermaplaning treatments?

For optimal results, dermaplaning can be done every 4 to 6 weeks. This keeps your skin consistently smooth and free from buildup.

Can I wear makeup after dermaplaning?

Yes, you can wear makeup right after your treatment. In fact, many clients find that their makeup goes on more evenly and looks better after dermaplaning.

Is there any downtime after a dermaplaning session?

There is little to no downtime. Some people may experience slight redness for a few hours, but you can return to your normal activities immediately.

Can dermaplaning help with acne or acne scars?

Dermaplaning can help reduce the appearance of mild acne scars and prevent clogged pores by removing dead skin, but it is not suitable for active breakouts.

What should I avoid after dermaplaning?

After your session, avoid direct sun exposure, harsh exfoliants, retinoids, and heavy makeup for 24-48 hours. Always use sunscreen to protect your freshly exfoliated skin.

How Does Dermaplaning Work?

Goodbye peach fuzz. Hello glow.

Dermaplaning is an extremely effective manual exfoliation technique that gently scrapes away layers of dead skin cells, surface debris, and peach fuzz using a surgical 10 blade. By removing the outermost layer of the skin, the procedure exposes a fresh new layer of skin that is ultra-smooth and glowing.

The removal of dead skin and peach fuzz makes a dramatic difference in the texture of the skin, producing a clean, vibrant, dewy glow that is hard to achieve by any other means.

For best results, dermaplaning may be performed at regular intervals in order to maintain consistent results and gradually remove such things as acne scars and brown age spots. You must be diligent in protecting your skin from excess sun exposure after a dermaplaning procedure, as your skin will be very vulnerable when exposed.
