Winter Park Dermaplaning Treatment
Celebrities seem to possess naturally glowing skin, luscious locks and wide-awake eyes—partly because of their good genes, partly due to their amazing makeup and hair stylists and partly because of some very well-kept Hollywood’s skin secrets, like dermaplaning. Chances are, even if you haven’t heard of this simple but effective form of exfoliation, you’ve seen the results.
What is dermaplaning?
There are literally a zillion different ways to exfoliate your skin (scrubs, chemical peels, Japanese sponges, etc, etc.), but dermaplaning tends to work best because of its ability to promote deeper and more even penetration of the skin. In a dermaplaning treatment, we use a 10-blade scalpel to gently scrape off the top layer of your dead skin cells and unwanted facial hair, revealing an immediate luminous glow that lasts about month.
What are the benefits of dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is a favorite in the entertainment industry, specifically among models and actresses, for several reasons:
- Dermaplaning eliminates annoying peach fuzz that cakes with makeup and can be enhanced by harsh production lighting and high-definition cameras. Removing all those fine hairs means doing away with trapped debris and oil that dulls the skin. Dermaplaning creates a smooth canvas so makeup glides on effortlessly.
- Demaplaning removes the dead layer of cells that build up on the surface of your skin and cause acne and a dull appearance. Reducing this layer immediately reveals a more radiant and youthful texture and tone and leaves your face ultra smooth and baby soft.
- Dermaplaning is powerful yet gentle and doesn’t use any chemicals. It doesn’t require any downtime or have any side effects.
- Dermaplaning allows for greater penetration and absorption of skincare products, increasing their efficacy.
- Dermaplaning prepares skin for more advanced procedures such as microneedling, laser skin resurfacing and chemical peels to increase their effectiveness.
- Dermaplaning has long-term benefits including faster cell turnover, a reduction in wrinkles, dark spots and acne scarring and overall smoother skin
Who is a good candidate for dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning can be performed on all skin types.
Dermaplaning is also a great treatment for women who are pregnant or nursing that desire deep exfoliation without the risk of harsh chemicals.
The only exceptions to dermaplaning include an allergy to nickel, numerous raised lesions on the skin and inflamed acne. For those with active acne breakouts, dermaplaning can be performed once the active pustules have healed.
What can I expect during my dermaplaning treatment?
First we will thoroughly cleanse and dry your skin. Then, we pull an area of your skin taut with one hand, and hold a sterile 10-blade scalpel at a 45-degree angle in the other hand and use short, swift, upward strokes to gently scrape off dead skin cells and peach fuzz. The entire process is done on dry skin. This helps maximize exfoliation and the removal of fine hairs. Dermaplaning is a painless, gentle procedure. The sensation is similar to shaving your legs.
Results:
There is no downtime with Dermaplaning, and the only side effect is smoother smin. The treatment can eliminate fine wrinkles, peach fuzz hairs and leave your skin much more prepared for skin care products, so you see better results. Results can last up to a month.
