Fast and pain-free, dermaplaning uses gentle exfoliation to both lift away unwanted hair and refresh the skin. The moment your treatment is done, your skin feels smooth and fuzz-free, with a brighter, more even complexion. The skilled estheticians at Hollywood Body & Face are here to help you bring out your best skin.
Reach out online or call today to schedule your dermaplaning appointment in Colorado.
Dermaplaning is an in-office skin rejuvenation treatment in which a dermatologist or esthetician glides a surgical scalpel across your skin, gently lifting away dead cells and the fine vellus hair often called peach fuzz.
Think of it as a more refined version of shaving, typically focused on the face. The difference is that a trained professional works with a scalpel rather than a razor, so the exfoliation reaches deeper than any at-home method could. It works beautifully on its own to brighten the complexion, or as an add-on to another facial for fuller results. And because there’s no downtime, you can head right back into your day afterward, just remember to apply sunscreen to keep your skin protected.
Unlike some exfoliating treatments that can irritate sensitive skin, dermaplaning is gentle enough for nearly every skin type. Its benefits line up with those of other in-office exfoliation options like microdermabrasion or a mild chemical peel, with the added bonus that it clears away peach fuzz, something many patients especially appreciate. You can expect skin-enhancing results such as:
Because the treatment lifts away that top layer of dead cells, it can also boost how well your skincare products absorb for up to 21 days, roughly how long it takes for a fresh layer of dead skin cells to build back up.
To start, your skin is thoroughly cleansed and degreased with an alcohol swab to lift away excess oil. The dermaplane facial is painless, so there’s no need for local anesthesia or numbing cream.
Using one hand to hold each section of skin taut and smooth, your esthetician glides the scalpel across the surface in short, quick strokes, sweeping away dead skin cells and facial hair as they go. It feels much like shaving. Once the dermaplaning is finished, your provider clears away any residue and rehydrates your skin with a rich moisturizer. Most sessions run 20 to 30 minutes.
By sweeping away the top layer of dead skin cells, dermaplaning evens out tone and texture while softening the look of acne scars and fine lines. Your skin comes away smoother and brighter after a single quick session. On top of that, the facial helps your skincare products absorb better, making your whole routine more effective. Results generally hold for three to four weeks.
Depending on your skin concerns, it may take several sessions to reach significant results, which is true of any exfoliation treatment, where the best outcomes build over a series. A typical series runs six treatments, though many patients notice real changes in their skin within two or three.
Because it’s such a gentle treatment, most people make good candidates for dermaplaning. It may be worth booking a consultation if you’re noticing:
Skincare products that don’t seem to absorb well
If you have a history of cold sores, let your doctor or esthetician know, since any exfoliating treatment can trigger a herpes flare-up. As a precaution, your doctor may prescribe an antiviral medication such as Valtrex.
Colorado’s dry climate can leave skin looking dull and dehydrated, which is exactly where dermaplaning, on its own or paired with another facial for even more benefit, can make a noticeable difference. If you’re after better product absorption, smoother texture, and flawless makeup application, this is the facial for you. Treat yourself at one of our luxurious medspas across Colorado.
