Dermaplaning
Benefits
A deep exfoliation, like dermaplaning, initiates cellular turnover which treats hyperpigmentation and prevents the buildup of dead skin cells, overall helping to maintain an even skin tone. The process involves scraping off the top layer of the skin with a sterile blade, similar to the process of shaving with a straight razor. Dermaplaning prepares skin for a more effective chemical peel treatment and can enhance the benefits of any skin care product you may be using at home. The treatment requires skill and Dr. Imber’s team is highly proficient in performing the treatment.
Dermaplaning Goals
This manual exfoliation physically removes debris from skin and leaves skin smoother and firmer. Removing dead skin cells clears away dirt from pores and encourages skin cell rejuvenation, essential for preventing fine lines and wrinkles.
Dermaplaning Candidates
Almost everyone is a candidate for dermaplaning since exfoliation is a key part in caring for your skin. Make sure to speak with a skilled technician about the treatment to discuss any concerns or skin issues.
What to Expect During Your Dermaplaning
During your treatment, our esthetician begins with a basic cleanse. Then, using a blunt scalpel, they will lightly scrape away the top layer of dead skin cells. Dermaplaning feels like a light scraping. After the treatment, the skin will feel smooth.
Recovering From Your Dermaplaning
Depending on your treatment, there shouldn’t be any downtime. However, if you pair dermaplaning with another treatment that is more invasive, there could be some recovery. Our esthetician will review all post-treatment care with you.
