Dermaplaning

While new types of rejuvenating treatments are constantly being developed, dermaplaning remains a popular way to achieve smooth, even facial skin. This treatment removes skin-dulling dead cells, improves textural issues, and gives you a flawless surface for applying products and makeup.

Because dermaplaning does not use heat, light energy, or chemicals, almost anyone can benefit. However, this treatment should always be performed by a dermaplaning expert who knows how to provide results without harming the skin. At physician-owned JK MedSpa, you’ll always receive care from a trained professional.

Learn More About Dermaplaning

Dermaplaning is a form of skin rejuvenation that uses a sharp, sterile blade to gently strip away dead skin cells, rough and damaged outer layers, and annoying peach fuzz (also known as vellus hair). Depending on the areas being treated, it can take as little as a few minutes, and it lets you resume your day without delays.

Dermaplaning addresses the dead skin cells that build up on the skin’s surface, even if you cleanse well and exfoliate regularly at home. Professional dermaplaning works at a deeper level than at-home methods to eliminate the dead cells you can’t get rid of on your own. And while do-it-yourself dermaplaning may sound appealing, it’s much safer and more effective in the hands of a professional.

You won’t need any numbing for dermaplaning since all you’ll feel is the blade gliding over your skin using short, gentle strokes. Your expert provider holds the blade at a 45-degree angle, giving them precise control as they move it across your skin. It’s completely non-invasive, and your skin remains safe throughout.

After your dermaplaning, your provider will often apply a hydrating moisturizer and targeted serums. Your newly revealed skin cells are in an optimal state to absorb these treatments. They may also apply sunscreen to protect these fresh new cells from sun damage.

We typically recommend dermaplaning as part of a facial treatment like HydraFacial® or Obagi Skintrinsiq™. Dermaplaning exfoliates your skin to prepare it for facials or improve the absorption of skincare products.

You will see results immediately after dermaplaning, including skin that feels smoother and looks more radiant. If you wear makeup, you will notice that it applies much more smoothly. You may also notice that your skin absorbs your skincare products more quickly. We can recommend medical-grade skincare products to maximize your results.

We recommend dermaplaning every few weeks to keep peach fuzz under control and maintain your smooth, bright skin. Over time, you’ll see deeper improvements in concerns like acne scars, rough or uneven skin texture, and even fine lines.

Applying PRP can boost your dermaplaning results even more. This treatment uses platelets extracted from your blood to promote the growth of new skin cells and encourage a smoother, rejuvenated complexion.

One factor that makes dermaplaning so effortless is the lack of downtime. You can return to your daily activities immediately with skin that looks even better than before. Some people notice minor redness that usually fades within an hour, and your skin may feel more sensitive.

While your activities are not restricted, we recommend using sunscreen every day and keeping your skin out of the sun when possible. Products such as exfoliating scrubs or at-home peels may be irritating for the first day or two. We also recommend following a medical-grade skincare protocol that will help you see the most benefits from your dermaplaning.

While treatments that use light or heat energy may not be suitable for some skin types or tones, dermaplaning is safe for almost everyone. Good candidates for this treatment have reasonable expectations and want to address concerns such as:

  • Dullness
  • Dryness and flakiness
  • Rough or uneven texture
  • Acne scars
  • Fine lines
  • Peach fuzz

By keeping your pores clear of dead skin cells, dermaplaning can significantly reduce acne breakouts. However, you shouldn’t have dermaplaning during an active breakout or while you have any active skin condition.
