Have you seen social media influencers and celebrities with makeup that looks perfectly smooth? Does that make you wonder why you cannot achieve this no matter how well you blend your face makeup? The secret is to create a smooth canvas with dermaplaning.
Dermaplaning went from being Hollywood’s best-kept skin secret to one of the most hyped-up trends of 2019. Dermaplaning can transform your complexion, remove blemishes, and brighten your face. Keep reading to learn everything about this simple but effective exfoliation treatment.
What Is Dermaplaning?
You may have seen the amazing results of this treatment without knowing it. You may have heard of it but are still wondering, what is dermaplaning? Dermaplaning is when a single blade is used on the skin at a 45-degree angle to remove dead skin cells and small fine hairs.
While it may sound just like shaving, it gives results that a regular razor cannot. With extra caution, your esthetician or dermatologist scrapes the skin. This is done gently, with light feathery strokes.
How Does It Work?
The dermatologist first cleanses the skin and pats it dry. The scalpel is then used across the surface of the skin with gentle strokes. A serum or moisturizer and sunscreen are then applied to the face to finish off the treatment.
This procedure works to exfoliate and improve the complexion by removing dead skin cells, scar tissue, and other debris that might be sitting on the skin’s surface. The daily exposure to pollutants, toxins, and sun damage can make the skin look dull. Dermaplaning clears away the damaged skin to reveal fresh skin.
What Are the Benefits?
The main purpose of dermaplaning is skin exfoliation to transform dull skin into a bright smooth complexion. The benefits of dermaplaning include healthy skin, faster cell turnover, and smooth texture. This procedure also allows skincare products to penetrate better into the skin.
Additionally, dermaplaning also shaves off the little fine hairs on the face. A hairless skin allows face makeup to sit better on the skin. Your finished makeup will look smooth and flawless.
Dermaplaning is ideal for anyone looking for exfoliation or for those who have unwanted facial hair. It is also a better alternative to chemical exfoliation serums for those with sensitive skin.
Does It Hurt?
The sensation experienced during dermaplaning is like shaving. The strokes are very light and done with extra caution. It is almost painless.
Is There Any Downtime?
You do not need to plan for any downtime after a dermaplaning session. The only side effect that you may experience is slight redness, which will fade very quickly, within a few hours.
If the blade is not clean, then there is a risk of infection of the skin or hair follicles when bacteria is deposited. To avoid this type of negative effect, DIY dermaplaning is not recommended. Try dermaplaning with a dermatologist or esthetician, who will perform the treatment in a safe and clean environment.
Dermaplaning can be done on most skin types. It is, however, not safe for those with very sensitive skin, acne, or inflammatory conditions such as rosacea or eczema as further irritation could occur.
