Dermaplaning
in Bucks County, PA, and Hunterdon County, NJ
What is Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is a non-invasive cosmetic treatment that involves exfoliating facial skin using a scalpel. It feels much like getting a shave. It is performed on the face to remove peach fuzz and other excess facial hair or skin imperfections, as an alternative to laser hair removal or microdermabrasion. The results from dermaplaning are temporary and last typically about three to four weeks.
Benefits of Dermaplaning
Dermaplaning is used most frequently to remove vellus hair (peach fuzz). In addition to leaving the skin smoother, dermaplaning offers the following benefits:
- Facilitates cell regeneration on facial skin
- Allows skin care products to sink into the skin
- Brightens the skin
- Helps diminish skin imperfections
- Done as an alternative to microdermabrasion
- Performed in combination with other cosmetic treatments
- Little to no downtime
Is Dermaplaning Right for Me?
If your skin’s tone and texture is uneven or dry and ruddy, or if you have superficial scars or want to remove excess peach fuzz, you may want to consider dermaplaning. This treatment is safe for most skin unless your skin is excessively oily, has active outbreaks of acne or thick, dark facial hair.
How Involved is Dermaplaning?
The dermaplaning procedure is performed in an in-office setting by a specially trained clinician. This procedure uses a 10-guage scalpel to gently scrape the top layer of skin removing dead cells and any unwanted facial hair. Dermaplaning is performed every three to four weeks only by a qualified dermatologist or plastic surgeon. It is safe for most skin types.
During a dermaplaning procedure, the clinician pulls the skin in the targeted area tightly then takes the scalpel and removes the outer layers of skin. It feels much the same as shaving your legs but is done on the face. The entire treatment takes about 30 to 45 minutes to complete.
