Our skin is constantly exposed to outside environmental factors that can take away its youthful luster. That paired with the natural aging process will leave the skin looking dull, dry, and sun-damaged. If it is not properly taken care of, these issues can become more severe, giving you a much older appearance. Fortunately, a dermaplane treatment in our St. George, UT office can be used to address these cosmetic issues.
What is Dermaplane?
Dermaplane is a skincare method for removing dry, dead skin cells as well as vellus hair (also known as “peach fuzz”). Dermaplane is performed by stoking the facial skin with a blade-like tool. This method of exfoliation is gentle, safe, effective, and does not require downtime.
Some of the many benefits of Dermaplane include:
Dermaplaning can help make the skin’s surface smooth, youthful, and radiant. It can be used on many different skin types and treat common skin problems such as:
- Acne scars
- Dull skin
- Dry skin
- Fine lines
- small hairs
While you can see the results of demaplaning right away, you’ll get the most benefit if you maintain a regular treatment schedule. Many people have it performed every three to four weeks – enough time for the skin to complete its normal thirty-day rejuvenation cycle. It takes years for your skin to lose elasticity and vitality, so it takes some time to regrow new cells.
What are the risks?
Side effects are mild and rare. Some people report feeling temporary dryness and redness. In rare cases, the skin may be nicked, though it will heal very quickly. If you experiencing peeling, it is probably due to dermaplane procedures being performed too closely together. After treatment, be sure to use moisturizer and sunscreen.
While all skin types can benefit from dermaplane, it is not recommended for those with severe acne or excessive oil production, as hair removal can cause bacteria growth and lead to breakouts.
Your Dermaplaning Consultation
A dermaplaning consultation will involve an assessment of your skin and a discussion of your complete medical history. We will ask questions about your skin goals and create recommendations for your treatment plan.
Since dermaplaning can support other treatments for the skin, we may also discuss other treatments that can help you achieve your skin goals. After consultation, he will provide instructions on how to prepare for the treatment. Some patients are approved to get the treatment right after their consultation if these patients are eligible for dermaplaning.
Dermaplaning Aftercare
After a dermaplaning session, avoid sun exposure and extreme heat for at least 3 days. This includes taking a break from exercise to avoid excessive sweating.
Since the skin will be sensitive after the treatment, it is also advised to avoid scrubbing or exfoliating the skin for one week.
Any chemical like chlorine can irritate newly treated skin. Swimming should be rescheduled at least a week after a dermaplaning treatment.
We will recommend the best skincare to help your skin recover and maintain good health after the treatment. Commit to your skincare routine and always remember to apply serum, moisturizer, and the recommended sunscreen.
How Much Does a Dermaplaning Treatment Cost?
The total cost of dermaplaning will depend on the number of sessions recommended for your skin. Dermaplaning can also be combined with other treatments to suit the skin’s health needs. Our financing department will discuss available payment options and other possible offers to complete your treatment plan.
