At Skinlogic in Severna Park, MD, we offer dermaplaning, a physical exfoliation treatment that can be scheduled in combination with other professional skin care treatments for enhanced results or on its own to effectively exfoliate the skin. This treatment is designed to brighten the skin, deliver anti-aging results, and promote optimal skin health. It provides patients with a simple, painless, and non-invasive way to encourage cellular turnover and promote skin rejuvenation.
Dermaplaning is a physical exfoliation treatment during which the esthetician uses a surgical, stainless steel, sterile scalpel to eliminate dead skin cells, build-up, and fine hair from the skin’s surface.
During the treatment, the esthetician will hold the scalpel at a precise 45° angle and gently pass the scalpel back-and-forth across your skin to eliminate dead skin, hair, and build-up to promote smoother skin, a healthier complexion and enhance the results of other skincare treatments and your at-home topical products.
Unlike many professional skincare treatments, almost everyone is a candidate for dermaplaning. It’s safe and gentle and doesn’t require any harsh topical products to be used during treatment. Plus, the entire process is non-surgical and non-invasive. Other treatment benefits include the following:
As an exfoliating treatment, dermaplaning is designed to remove the top, superficial layer of the skin and, with it, any build-up, dead skin cells, and even fine hair. It’s an effective treatment that can prevent acne, including blackheads and whiteheads.
It can also treat uneven skin texture, dull complexion, fine lines, and wrinkles. By removing the top layer of skin, it reveals a healthier, younger layer into which topical products and anti-aging solutions can better absorb.
On its own, dermaplaning is an effective form of physical exfoliation that will brighten the skin and promote skin health, but it can also maximize the results of other professional skincare treatments. We can add dermaplaning to a chemical peel or perform it before a microneedling treatment to remove the top layer of skin and promote better penetration.
When you arrive for your treatment, your esthetician will cleanse your skin and remove any makeup or product. Then, holding the scalpel at a 45° angle, she will gently scrape off the top layer of dead skin. The entire treatment is relatively quick and painless.
You won’t need any numbing solution, and because the treatment requires advanced techniques and skill, you can trust that your esthetician will perform a safe and sterile treatment. You won’t have to worry about any adverse reactions, cuts, or scarring.
Patients can schedule monthly or bi-monthly dermaplaning treatments based on their ultimate skincare goals and concerns. Most patients schedule monthly sessions to keep their skin fresh, healthy, and free of the fine hair and build-up that detracts from the health and appearance of the skin. We can discuss your treatment goals and determine the best treatment schedule so we can schedule your appointment accordingly.
After undergoing a dermaplaning treatment, you can expect immediate results. Your skin will look brighter, smoother, and healthier. You can enjoy your results for several weeks, but once your skin goes through its normal cycle, dead skin cells will build back up, and fine hair will grow back. For that reason, monthly treatments at a minimum are necessary to maintain skin health and ensure the most consistent results.
Dermaplaning improves the efficacy of skin care products because it eliminates the dead skin cell barrier preventing those products from absorbing as deeply into the skin as possible. We can provide you with professional skin care product recommendations after your treatment to take advantage of your skin’s increased absorption rate and enhance your treatment results.
Patients with all different skin types and tones make good candidates for this exfoliating treatment. Because it’s non-invasive, doesn’t use harsh topical products during treatment, and is gentle, patients with normal, oily, dry, and hyper-sensitive skin can safely schedule treatments and achieve exceptional results. Pregnant and nursing women, who are often excluded from many professional skin care treatments for safety reasons, are also eligible for this treatment.
If you’re unsure whether this skin care treatment is right for you, we can confirm your treatment eligibility during an initial consultation. At that time, we can also evaluate your skin, learn more about your skincare goals, and make additional treatment recommendations to help you achieve healthier and younger-looking skin.
