Dermaplaning is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that involves the use of a surgical scalpel to gently scrape the surface of the skin. The procedure is designed to remove dead skin cells, peach fuzz, and other impurities, revealing a smoother, brighter, and more youthful-looking complexion. It is performed by a licensed and trained skincare professional.
During the dermaplaning procedure, a sterile scalpel is used to gently scrape the surface of the skin in small, upward strokes. This helps to remove the outermost layer of dead skin cells, which can cause dullness and uneven texture. Additionally, dermaplaning also removes fine facial hair, or peach fuzz, which can trap dirt and oil, leading to breakouts.
The procedure is safe for most people, and there is little to no downtime required after treatment. The result of the procedure is a smoother, softer, and more radiant complexion that can last for several weeks. Dermaplaning is often used as a complementary treatment to other skincare procedures such as chemical peels, microneedling, and facials.
