If you’ve ever wanted smoother skin, a more luminous complexion, or a flawless makeup base, dermaplaning could be the answer. However, if you are new to the process, it is natural to have questions. Here is what every first-time consumer should know before scheduling their first dermaplaning appointment.
- What is dermaplaning? The dermaplaning process is non-invasive, using a sterile, surgical-grade blade to gently exfoliate the top layer of dead skin cells. Once removed, you will notice that your skin is smoother and brighter. Additionally, skincare products will penetrate more efficiently.
- Is it safe? Dermaplaning is safe and painless, especially when completed by a licensed practitioner. Many clients describe the sensation as similar to a mild scrape or brush. The blade does not cut into the skin but instead glides across it, exfoliating as it goes.
- What are the benefits? Dermaplaning has been known to help reduce the appearance of fine wrinkles, even out skin tone, and enhance texture, in addition to giving skin an immediate smooth appearance. Makeup applies more evenly, and skincare products function more effectively after treatment.
- How should I prepare for my appointment? Avoid sun exposure, exfoliating products, and retinoids for 3-5 days before your session. On the day of your appointment, avoid applying makeup and heavy cosmetics so that you arrive with clean skin. Additionally, be sure to talk with our team about any skin sensitivities or concerns you have ahead of time.
- What tips should I follow after dermaplaning? After dermaplaning, your skin will be more sensitive to the sun. Because of this, it’s a good idea to use SPF every day and avoid direct sunlight for at least 48 hours. Also, keep your post-treatment skincare routine uncomplicated, using gentle cleansers, moisturizing serums, and moisturizers.
