How Does Dermaplaning Work? Benefits, Aftercare & What to Expect

Welcome to the world of skincare and medical aesthetics, where your skin’s potential is limitless. If you’re looking for a non-invasive treatment that gently removes unwanted facial hair while exfoliating the skin, dermaplaning may be the perfect treatment for you.

So, how does dermaplaning work? This professional exfoliating treatment uses a sterile, specialized blade to gently remove dead surface skin cells and fine vellus hair from the skin.

At DolledupbyDalxo Medical Aesthetics in London, Ontario, dermaplaning is a popular, painless treatment that removes fine vellus hair, commonly known as peach fuzz, along with the surface layer of dead skin cells. Unlike traditional shaving, professional dermaplaning is performed using a specialized surgical-grade blade and technique designed specifically for facial skin.

Say goodbye to peach fuzz and dull, rough skin and hello to a smoother, brighter and more radiant complexion.

What is Dermaplaning ?

Dermaplaning is a professional exfoliation treatment that uses a sterile, surgical-grade blade to gently remove dead surface skin cells and fine vellus hair from the face.

By removing this buildup from the surface of the skin, dermaplaning can leave your complexion feeling smoother and looking brighter. It can also create a smoother surface for makeup application and allow skincare products to be applied more evenly.

How does Dermaplaning differ from Shaving?

Although both dermaplaning and shaving remove unwanted facial hair, they are not the same treatment.

Traditional shaving primarily cuts the hair at or near the surface of the skin. Professional dermaplaning, on the other hand, uses a specialized blade and technique to carefully remove fine vellus hair along with dead surface skin cells, providing an exfoliating benefit that traditional shaving does not.

If your goal is to remove peach fuzz while also improving the feel and appearance of your skin, professional dermaplaning offers a more comprehensive exfoliating treatment.

Benefits of Dermaplaning ?

Dermaplaning can provide both cosmetic and exfoliating benefits. Results and suitability can vary depending on your individual skin type, concerns and treatment goals.

Potential benefits include:

• Smoother, softer-looking skin

• Removal of fine facial hair and peach fuzz

• Brighter, more radiant-looking complexion

• Smoother makeup application

• Improved appearance of uneven skin texture

• Removal of surface dead skin cells

• More even application of skincare products

• A refreshed, polished appearance

• Little to no downtime for most clients

• 
  

For clients looking for a deeper exfoliation treatment, Microdermabrasion is another option that can help improve the appearance of dullness and uneven skin texture.

Who Is Dermaplaning Best For?

Dermaplaning may be a great option for clients who want to remove peach fuzz while improving the appearance and feel of dull or uneven skin.

It may be particularly beneficial for those concerned with:

• Fine facial hair

• Dull-looking skin

• Rough or uneven texture

• Surface dryness

• Makeup application

• A lack of radiance

  
  

Not every treatment is appropriate for every skin type. During your appointment, your skin will be assessed to determine whether dermaplaning is suitable for you and your individual concerns.

If you're looking for more targeted skin resurfacing, you may also want to explore our Chemical Peels or BioRePeel treatments.
