Dermaplaning is a cosmetic procedure that shaves off the top layers of your skin and dead skin cells to give you the glowing and healthy skin you desire. With dermaplaning at Harbour Laser, you can address skin damage, acne scars, pitted skin, uneven skin tone, and unwanted facial hair growth.
What is Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is a procedure designed to shave away the outer layers of your skin. These layers are more susceptible to damage from environmental irritants, causing them to show visible signs of damage. Dermaplaning can reduce the appearance of skin imperfections and remove unwanted hair, allowing your skin to look younger, smoother, and healthier. Dermaplaning is most commonly used on the face but can also be performed on other body regions.
Candidates for Dermaplaning Treatment
Candidates for dermaplaning include individuals in general good health who are self-conscious about the appearance of their skin or excess hair. Dermaplaning can address a number of skin concerns, including acne scarring, dry skin, sun-damaged skin, fine lines, dull skin, uneven skin texture, and peach fuzz (vellus hair), and it can even be used on sensitive skin.
That said, those with active acne, certain skin growths, or severe skin conditions may want to look into a different treatment option.
The best way to determine your candidacy is through a private consultation with one of our team members at Harbour Laser in Huntington Beach, California.
Dermaplaning Procedure
Your dermaplaning treatment may begin with your specialist applying a numbing cream or numbing spray to the area. They will then carefully glide the dermatome against your skin, removing dead skin cells, unwanted hair, and visible signs of skin damage. You may feel a scratching sensation, but this treatment is typically pain-free. After your procedure is completed, a cooling gel will be applied to the skin. The treatment typically lasts a few minutes to an hour and a half, depending on your cosmetic concerns and the size of your treatment area.
Dermaplaning can be combined with other facial treatments, including chemical peels, laser treatments, and facials.
Dermaplaning Results and Recovery
After your dermaplaning treatment, your skin may appear red and swollen. Over-the-counter pain medication can soothe any discomfort. You’ll also want to wear broad-spectrum sunscreen to protect your skin from the sun and practice a good skincare regimen.
Your results should emerge once your swelling subsides after a few days, and you can enjoy the benefits of dermaplaning: smoother, healthier, and firmer skin.
