Dermaplaning
In Gainesville, FL
Dermaplaning, like microdermabrasion, is a manual skin exfoliation procedure. Our Gainesville aesthetics office provides this skin care treatment to patients seeking smooth, tight, and healthy skin.
In addition to promoting skin health, this treatment also helps minimize the appearance of fine lines and eliminates peach fuzz. For patients looking to optimize skin rejuvenation through exfoliation, a dermaplaning procedure is ideal.
Dermaplaning is the removal of the outermost layer of skin, which is a host for dirt and dead skin cells. This procedure is performed with a sterile, surgical-grade scalpel.
A licensed aesthetician skillfully and painlessly removes the top layer of unhealthy, dead skin cells.
A dermaplaning procedure delivers patients with a range of skin health benefits.
Facial hair, commonly called “peach fuzz,” is safely removed — which is healthy for your skin as hair can harbor dirt and oils. Acne scars, fine lines, and dull skin are all addressed and improved immediately after a dermaplaning session. Additionally, the skin will be tightened, and hyperpigmentation will be reduced — both of which give patients a youthful appearance. The gentle skin removal stimulates collagen production, tightening and firming your face.
Dermaplaning effectively removes roughly 21 days of dead skin cell accumulation. Removing the top layer of unhealthy skin also allows any skin care products applied to penetrate deeper into the skin, which boosts effectiveness.
To maximize their results, patients may wish to “prime” their faces with a dermaplaning procedure before having a Vi Peel, chemical peel, or HydraFacial.
Before dermaplaning begins, your skin will be thoroughly cleansed and dried. Your aesthetician will gently pressure your face to pull your skin taut.
The scalpel will be swiftly applied in short strokes at a 45-degree angle to remove the unhealthy outer layer of skin easily. Numbing agents are unnecessary; patients can expect their appointments to last roughly 30 minutes. Immediately after your treatment, patients will have clear, smooth, and tight skin.
After treatment, patients with sensitive skin may experience pink or slightly swollen skin.
The skin will be very sensitive to sunlight, so it’s necessary to avoid sunlight initially and apply sunscreen. Patients will immediately have smooth, clear skin that lasts 3–4 weeks! You will experience zero downtime and can resume normal activities immediately. To sustain youthful and healthy skin, patients may wish to schedule sessions every four weeks, as the outer layer of skin and peach fuzz will return within that time frame.
