Dermaplaning
Dermaplaning, also known as Dermal Edge Therapy, Epidermal Leveling or Blading is a gentle and effective skin care treatment that uses a surgical blade to manually exfoliate the surface of the skin and removes the Vellus hair, known as “peach fuzz.” It is a safe treatment for all skin types and leaves the skin smooth, soft, brighter, and more radiant.
How is a Dermaplane Treatment Performed?
A dermaplane treatment is performed using a sterile surgical blade which is held against the skin at a 45 degree angle and gently stroked along the skin, similar to shaving. The skin care professional holds the area of skin taught while stroking the skin with the blade, removing the outer micro-layers of the skin and any hair in the area. The treatment is painless and there is no downtime.
Skin care products applied after the dermaplane treatment are better absorbed and monthly treatments will help to improve the appearance of the skin. It is recommended to wait at least 3 to 4 weeks between treatments.
Those with active acne lesions or excessive oil production are not good candidates for dermaplaning. For more sensitive individuals, the skin may be pink or feel slightly dry immediately following the treatment. These symptoms are temporary and resolve quickly.
