Let’s talk Dermaplaning!
Dermaplaning, a skincare treatment that involves exfoliating the skin by gently scraping off dead skin cells and vellus hair (also known as peach fuzz), is a top choice among medspas everywhere due to its ability to leave the skin smooth, radiant, and rejuvenated.
But how often should you undergo this procedure to achieve optimal results?
In this article, we will delve into the world of dermaplaning, discussing the ideal frequency for this treatment and factors to consider to ensure you maintain silky, glowing skin. We’ll also discuss the benefits and treatment options that may be combined with dermaplaning.
Whether you are a newbie or a dermaplaning enthusiast looking for expert advice, read on to discover more!
Dermaplaning Benefits
Dermplaning comes with a variety of benefits and is an ideal treatment to add to your skincare regimen.
Some of these pluses include:
- Smooth, bare skin
- Even skin tone and texture
- Diminished appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
- Improvement in acne scars
- Clean pores free of dirt and debris
- Primed skin ready for makeup application
While some clients notice results immediately following the dermaplaning procedure, improvement in acne scars and fine lines and wrinkles requires multiple treatments (up to 6).
Dermaplaning Candidates
The great thing about dermaplaning is that almost all skin tones and skin types make great candidates for the treatment.
You may have heard some say that dermaplaning will make the hair grow back thicker – this is completely false! Dermaplaning removes fine vellus hair, and will not change the amount or texture that grows back.
Those who have active acne, sunburns, or rosacea flare-ups should avoid dermplaning as it could cause inflammation to sensitive skin.
How Often Should You Dermaplane?
Everyone’s skin is different, but generally, dermaplaning can be performed every 2-3 weeks. Any sooner, and you risk irritation to the skin.
It’s worth noting that skin cell turnover takes time, so it’s ideal to wait the full 3 weeks to exfoliate the skin properly and see the most benefits from the treatment.
Talk to your aesthetician regarding the frequency of your dermaplaning treatments as they can give you the best, personalized advice specific to your skin.
Combining Treatments
Many choose to combine dermaplaning with other skincare treatments – and for good reason!
Dermplaning removes dead skin cells and leaves the skin better able to absorb any oils, serums, or other products added.
Some of the most popular combination treatments with dermaplaning include:
- HydraFacial
- LED Light
- Chemical Peels
- Microcurrent Facial
- Lymphatic Massage
