There are so many beauty treatments around social media, so much so that you don’t know which ones are effective or not. But sometimes, we need to step back a bit from all the buzz and trends. Perhaps, it’s time to look at more straightforward options for skincare treatments, and one of the simple options you need to consider is Dermaplane, also known as dermaplaning. Dermaplaning is not one of these skincare treatments that over promises itself and then fall short of expectations. Dermaplaning is a simple treatment, and it delivers some results despite its outward simplicity. As they say, don’t judge a book for its cover.
To put it in a simple perspective, dermaplaning is literally shaving a skin layer in your face off. It sounds somewhat dramatic, but it’s a gentle touch, only removing the dead skin layer. Through the hands of a professional, dermaplaning is not a complex procedure to do. Thanks to its simplicity, it tends to get overshadowed by other skincare treatments that typically over-promise in social media. It’s a simple treatment that gets rid of facial hair, smoothens the skin, and makes the skin feel soft to the touch.
On top of that, dermaplaning can also help treat acne scars, dry skin, and fine wrinkles. Nothing too complex, and most dermatologists agree that this treatment is effective and safe for anyone. However, just like with any skincare treatment, you need first to hear what it does to your complexion, its costs, safety, benefits, and what to expect.
The efficacy of dermaplaning can differ for everyone, but generally speaking, you can expect a much silkier surface, brighter skin, and lesser facial hair. The results are instantaneous as soon as the appointment is over. Dermaplaning can be more effective when used in tandem with other skincare products. Since the outer dead skin layer is gone, the effectiveness of your skincare products can dig deeper.
However, note that dermaplaning differs from microabrasion, although both are skin exfoliation treatments. Dermaplaning is like shaving the skin, removing the dead skin through the knife’s edge. On the other hand, microabrasion “sands” the skin using a piece of abrasive texture equipment, kinda like sanding a plank of wood. In microabrasion treatment, your face is blasted with air or other tools that exfoliate the skin cells. The upside of microabrasion is that its results can last for several months, but it will take several more visits. If you are unsure which treatment to pick, talk to an esthetician or a dermatologist.
If you are researching dermaplaning treatments, you may notice that procedure involves a sharp razor blade. The razor blade is very similar to razor blades for cutting body hair. The concept behind dermaplaning is simple—exactly like shaving. Your doctor or esthetician will aim the blade at a very steep angle, around 45 degrees. Once they are confident of their placement, they will slowly drag the blade across the skin.
Along the way, it scrapes off dead skin cells, scar tissues, and other debris that are caught up. As a result, there are no bumps, and the skin’s surface is much smoother and even. Your skin frequently faces dirt, sun, and other irritants or toxins, especially the exposed face. The constant damage to your skin causes it to look dull, making you appear older than your look. Dermaplane or dermaplaning clears your skin from those damages, clearing the way for new skin cells underneath the opportunity to come out. Once you check your face after the procedure, what you see are the new skin cells making an appearance.
If it’s as simple as shaving, is it possible to do dermaplaning yourself? Yes, however, the results are significantly lesser than what you’ll get from a dermaplaning procedure in a clinic. Remember that the store-bought dermaplaning tool is for the masses to use. It’s a lot less sophisticated to reduce the risks of complications, infection, and wounds when you do it yourself at home.
Take note that sharp knives and faces don’t go well together. Dermaplaning has to be done through the hands of a professional to ensure safety and get the best results. Any mishaps on your face can lead to unwanted scars, so make sure to take care of your face!
Do you know the feeling of using a shave when cleaning body hair? You should feel the same sensation during the treatment process. You won’t feel any pain, and a tingling sensation is the only thing you’ll get. To start, you will lie down on a provided chair. Your environment around you should be pristine clean, and your doctor or esthetician will help you keep yourself comfortable in that placement.
You’ll be offered some sedation options. You can either choose a numbing cream, local anesthesia, or none at all. It’s entirely up to you how you want to go about it. Once you are in a good and comfortable position, the dermaplaning starts. Your doctor or esthetician will then proceed with a manual or electronic dermaplaning tool to scrape the skin at a 45-degree angle. The procedure should only last around 20-30 minutes tops.
Finally, once the dermaplaning treatment is over, your provider will apply sunscreen or aloe vera to enhance the effects and protect the skin. There is no downtime for dermaplaning. As soon as the procedure is done, you can return to your daily routine. However, keep in mind that the results are not permanent. After three weeks to a month, the treatment results are gone.
Dermplane or dermaplaning is a ver slow risk treatment. Side effects are infrequent, but when it happens, it can include some redness and some developing whiteheads. Fortunately, these side effects will go away after a few days.
