Who can/cannot be treated with Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is a great choice for anyone who has fine facial hair (peach fuzz), extremely sensitive skin or rosacea (diffuse redness and/ or visible facial veins). The only skin that probably shouldn’t be treated with dermaplaning is acne-prone skin. Oil from the sebaceous glands needs to travel up along the vellus hair to be excreted. If the hair is removed, the oil builds up and the glands are blocked causing even more breakouts. In addition, anyone with numerous raised lesions or an allergy to nickel should not be treated.
Is Dermaplaning safe?
erformed by a licensed and experienced aesthetician, dermaplaning is an extremely safe, non-traumatic method of skin rejuvenation. There is no more risk than when a man shaves his face. Although unlikely, there is a chance of a small scrape or nick in the skin.
What are the benefits of Dermaplaning?
Regular treatments of dermaplaning have been known to diminish fine lines Smooth acne scarring, improve skin texture and tone, temporarily remove fine facial hair, generate new healthy cell growth and enhance penetration of skin care products.
Will the facial hair grow back thicker?
No. There are two types of hair. Fine facial hair or peach fuzz is called vellus hair and is the light colored translucent hair that grows on a woman’s face, chest, or back. The other type of hair is called terminal hair, which is the coarser hair you see on the head, under the arms, brows, and the lower face of men. Hairs are always one or the other and they are not damaged or altered by the process of cutting or removal. So after dermaplaning, vellus hair grows back with its same characteristics.
Can Dermaplaning be performed in the same visit as a peel?
A peel done immediately after dermaplaning is an excellent way to make sure that the peel penetrates deeper and more evenly. They go great together and we recommend the combination for optimal results.
Is Dermaplaning recommended for acne skin?
If you suffer from acne or over production of oil, we do not recommend dermaplaning. For acne prone skin, we recommend peels, which are other forms of exfoliation and will clear and balance the skin to control sebaceous activity and decrease the formation of acne lesions.
How often can this procedure be performed?
Since Dermaplaning removes about 3 weeks of accumulated dead skin cells, it’s best to wait about 3 - 4 weeks between treatments.
Why doesn’t the hair grow back thicker?
Peach fuzz is the fine translucent hair that you can see if you look closely at a woman’s face. This type of hair, also called vellus hair, is very different from the coarser hair you see on the head and under the arms. Because vellus hair is so fine, it is not possible that it will grow back thicker.
