Is dermaplaning just shaving?
Dermaplaning and shaving your face are very similar, but the main difference is that dermaplaning delivers a much more thorough exfoliation.
​
Will dermaplaning break me out?
It is not advisable to dermaplane with active breakouts, dermaplaning should not actually cause any additional breakouts. By removing the build-up of dead skin and excess skin oils from the surface of your pores, dermaplaning may actually help prevent future breakouts.
What to expect after dermaplaning?
Right after the procedure, you can expect some slight redness in your face, but not always, and if you do, it’ll fade quickly. Mostly, you’ll just have to stop yourself from touching your super-soft face. And reminder, the results will last for two to three weeks, depending on how fast your hair grows.
Is Dermaplaning good for your skin?
Dermaplaning can help minimize the appearance of acne scars, fine lines, wrinkles and dull skin. The procedure can reveal smoother, firmer and healthier skin.
Dermaplaning is a skin treatment that involves the use of a scalpel blade to exfoliate the superficial skin layers leaving the skin looking smoother and more youthful afterwards. Dead cells from the epidermis are removed as well as unwanted vellus hair (peach fuzz). Dermaplaning may also give additional improvements such as reduction in the appearance of fine lines & temporary fading of pigmentation in some cases. As with any exfoliation treatment dermaplaning reduces natural skin barriers that often allow skin products to work more effectively afterwards.
I acknowledge that there are no specific guarantees concerning the expected result. I understand that the degree of improvement is variable between clients and there is a risk of treatment failure or unsatisfactory results. In the event of unsatisfactory results, I may require additional treatments or a different modality of skin treatment. Dermaplaning can be safely done every 4-6 weeks.
I understand that several appointments may be necessary to produce optimal results and I will be notified, in advance of each session of treatment, about the location where the next treatment session is going to take place and the identity of who is going to be involved in my care at each stage. I also understand that I will be kept informed of progress and that I can change my mind at any point.
I understand that this procedure uses a dermaplaning blade, which is mildly abrasive therefore I will follow the explicit aftercare instructions of my skincare therapist.
RISKS AND SIDE EFFECTS: Although dermaplaning is a low risk and safe treatment, as with any procedure there are potential risks and complications. It is important you are aware of these and fully discuss with your practitioner before going ahead.
Common side effects of dermaplaning include mild skin discomfort and a red appearance to the skin which usually resolves within 24 hours. Some people may develop whitehead spots within a few days after treatment.
Rare side effects include skin infection (cellulitis) requiring medical attention or skin scarring which may be permanent despite treatment. Another rare side effect is a change in skin pigmentation to either lighter or darker. This will often improve aver 6 months but occasionally pigmentation changes can be permanent.
