Dermaplaning is becoming more and more popular in the world of skin care, and for a good reason. This simple, non-invasive, inexpensive exfoliation treatment offers a multitude of benefits for your skin, making it an essential addition to your monthly skincare regimen. Keep reading to learn more about dermaplaning from Collab MedSpa and why you should consider including it into your skincare routine.
What is Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is a simple procedure in which a trained esthetician uses a sterile surgical scalpel to gently scrape off the top layer of dead skin cells and vellus hair (peach fuzz) from your face and jawline. It takes approximately 15 minutes to complete when added to any facial treatment and is safe for all skin types.
Benefits of Dermaplaning
1. Exfoliation
Dermaplaning is a deep and thorough exfoliation. It removes the layers of dead cells on the surface of the skin, revealing a smoother, brighter complexion. Having well exfoliated skin allows for better penetration and absorption of skincare products and boosts the effectiveness of the professional treatments we do in the spa.
2. Smoother Skin Texture
Dermaplaning helps to improve your overall skin texture by eliminating dry or rough skin patches and smooths out uneven areas. Smoother skin looks healthier and more vibrant. Applying makeup after a dermaplane helps it to go on smoothly and appears softer and more flawless.
3. Reduction of Fine Lines and Wrinkles
While dermaplaning exfoliates your skin, the stimulation from the procedure boosts cell turnover and collagen production, which can help to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles over time. Dermaplaning on a consistent basis can lead to firmer, more youthful-looking skin.
4. Removal of Vellus Hair
Dermaplaning removes vellus hair (peach fuzz) which can trap dirt and oil and make the skin look dull and congested. By getting rid of this unwanted hair, dermaplaning leaves the skin looking smoother, brighter, more flawless and radiant. This benefit is a favorite of most clients!
5. Enhanced Product Absorption
The dead cells on the top layer of skin can act as a barrier, dermaplaning removes that barrier and allows skincare products to penetrate and absorb deeper into the skin, making them more effective. This can lead to better results from your skincare products and treatments leaving a more nourished and hydrated complexion.
6. Safe for Most Skin Types
Dermaplane is a simple procedure and unlike some other exfoliation methods, dermaplaning is gentle and safe for most skin types, including sensitive skin. It is a non-invasive procedure that does not use any harsh chemicals or abrasive particles, making it suitable for even the most delicate skin. For the few who find dermaplaning to be an irritating procedure, another option is Oil-planing. This offers the same benefits as a dermaplane, but uses oil to help the blade slide across the skin and keeps the skin nourished and hydrated throughout the entire procedure.
How Often Should You Dermaplane?
For the best results, we recommend a dermaplaning treatment every 3 to 4 weeks. This allows enough time for the skin to fully recover and regenerate between treatments and ensures continuous improvement in skin texture and appearance.
How Much Does It Cost?
A dermaplane is not a stand-alone treatment. It is meant to be added to any other facial or treatment. A dermaplane add-on is $32 for guests and $26 for members, making this one of the most affordable and impactful facial treatments available.
Achieve Smoother & Brighter Looking Skin
Dermaplaning is a highly effective and beneficial treatment for achieving smoother, brighter, and more youthful-looking skin. With a multitude of benefits, including exfoliation, improved skin texture, and enhanced product penetration, dermaplaning is an important step in maintaining a healthy and radiant complexion.
