What is Dermaplaning and How Can It Rejuvenate My Skin?

When you look at all the different options for skin rejuvenation, one thing you may come across is a treatment called dermaplaning. Before you decide if this treatment is right for you, it is good for you to take a little bit of time and understand exactly what it is and what it can do for you.

What is Dermaplaning?

At first, the explanation of this treatment may sound a little bit scary. However, dermaplaning is one of the gentlest and most comfortable aesthetic services available. It basically involves using a scalpel to scrape away dead skin cells. It is done in a very gentle way in order to remove dead skin cells and all of the other things that are causing your skin to look rough and uneven. Essentially, it exfoliates your skin.

Who is a Good Candidate?

This treatment is extremely beneficial for those who are not interested in or do not qualify for other treatments that use more aggressive techniques. For example, chemical peels have been able to help a lot of people rejuvenate their skin. However, a person may have skin that is simply too sensitive for a chemical peel. If this is the case, dermaplaning is the perfect alternative.

Another benefit that this treatment offers over other types of exfoliation treatments is the fact that it actually removes hair and peach fuzz on the face. When a person has hair and peach fuzz on their face, this can lead to an accumulation of bacteria. This leads to acne. So, in addition to the fact that it can prevent acne, it also leaves you with a smooth complexion. You will feel comfortable when you are not wearing makeup, and you will notice that your makeup glides on smoothly after you receive your treatment.

How Does Dermaplaning Rejuvenate Your Skin?

It rejuvenates your skin in the same way that a lot of other exfoliation treatments do. When the top layers of the skin are removed, your skin looks rejuvenated because the healthy skin underneath those dead skin cells is revealed.

The benefits don’t stop there. Your skin is kind of kicked into overdrive, which means that many more healthy cells are produced. In the weeks that follow your treatment, your skin will be producing more collagen and elastin. These things are extremely beneficial for your skin and help your skin look you youthful and fresh.

This treatment can be performed about one time per month. It is a great way for you to maintain healthy-looking skin. It is important to note that this treatment must be done by a professional.
