What is dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is a cosmetic skin care treatment to remove dead skin cells and unwanted fuzzy facial hair.
It exfoliates and gets rid of unwanted facial hair and dead skin cells using a small, sterile surgical blade that is used to gently glide over your face in a quick, painless, in-office procedure. Your skin comes back clean and dry, and the scalpel can be softly used on your forehead, cheeks, nose, chin, and neck.
The Northpoint Aesthetics team is specially trained to provide this successful cosmetic procedure. It works by shaving the surface of your skin, removing the top layer of dead skin along with any fine facial hair.
It removes excess hairs that can trap oil, dirt, and dead skin cells that are the primary cause of blemishes and acne.
Who is a good candidate for dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is a suitable treatment for most people. The only people who shouldn’t get a dermaplane treatment are those with active pustular acne or other more severe skin conditions.
Dr. Ciocchetti will conduct an assessment and evaluation to help you decide if dermaplaning is the right choice for you.
How long do the results of dermaplaning last?
Dermaplaning is a form of professional exfoliation. These treatments are considered maintenance programs and need to be repeated to keep the skin free of dead cells, peach fuzz, and overall build-up. We recommend up to three treatments spaced out monthly to get initial clearance. If you want to continue after that, every eight weeks is adequate.
What are the benefits of dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning can produce the same smoothing effect on your skin as a light chemical peel, but with no downtime or chemicals involved so there’s less chance of skin irritation.
Other benefits of dermaplaning include:
- Results that are immediately visible
- A short procedure, typically less than 30 minutes
- Promotes the growth of new skin cells by gently scraping and removing the old, dead skin cells
- Involves the use of a tiny, specially designed instrument that’s able to follow the contours of your skin and target specific problem areas
The exfoliation process allows any other skin care products you’re using to penetrate deeper into the dermis.
