Dermaplaning

Dermaplaning procedures are safe and effective solutions for nearly all skin types and tones. These procedures can be completed on an outpatient basis in our office. After the skin is cleaned, the dermaplaning will begin with a careful scraping of the surface of the skin with a blade. The technician will make several passes over different parts of the skin until the needed areas have been entirely treated. The amount of time needed will depend upon whether a section or the entire face will be addressed. After your dermaplaning session, you can expect your face to be pink. These are normal side effects that will subside in the coming days. It’s common for small amounts of peeling to occur as the skin heals. But it’s important not to pick at the peeling — you should let the skin heal on its own. Patients will need to avoid prolonged sun exposure as the skin will be sensitive in the days and weeks following their procedure. Expect to see results quickly as dermaplaning reveals smoother, softer skin right away. In the interest of protecting your rejuvenated skin, the technician will discuss a recommended skin care routine with you, including the highly recommended, daily application of sunscreen.
