You Looking For a Gentle Way to Exfoliate Your Skin? Dermaplaning May Be For You!
Non-invasive procedures are becoming an increasingly popular choice among those seeking facial rejuvenation. These treatments vary in their purpose and scope. Among those offering the benefits of exfoliation are dermaplaning and chemical peels. Both of these methods lift off layers of the skin in order to reduce or eliminate the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, sun damage, acne scars, dryness and dullness.
Dermaplaning vs Chemical Peels
The difference between these two is the amount of skin removed and, thus, the level of change achieved. The former involves shaving off the very top layer of the skin, the upper epidermis, with a scalpel. A deep chemical peel, conversely, can reach into the middle layer of the skin, or dermis, via the application of a chemical solution. For those who have sensitive skin, do not need or want a drastic transformation or those who dislike exposing their skin to chemicals, dermaplaning offers a mild but effective alternative.
A Chemical-free Solution for Beautiful Skin
Dermaplaning is a procedure that:
1. Offers painless and quick exfoliation
While the process may sound intimidating, it is completely pain free. Depending on the size of the area being treated, it is also very fast. Having your face done takes between 30 to 45 minutes. Moreover, unlike many other options, there is no downtime.
2. Reduces the visibility of fine lines and hyperpigmentation
The passing of the scalpel over the skin at a 45 degree angle gets rid of any dead skin cells, immediately causing the skin to become smoother and more even in tone.
3. Removes facial hair
Many use dermaplaning to not only refresh their skin, but also to do away with any “peach fuzz.” This has the added advantage of allowing more uniform makeup coverage.
These are just a few of the many fantastic benefits of dermaplaning.
