|
Dermaplaning is a highly effective procedure for removing the outermost layer of dead skin cells. The dermaplane will also remove the layer of vellous hair that often covers the face, commonly known as "peach fuzz"-which traps dirt and oil. The treatment gives the skin a smoother appearance. The removal of the outer layer of dead cells also allows for better penetration and absorption of both pharmaceutical and cosmeceutical products. These skin cells are no longer a protectant, but are a barrier for other procedures and/or products. A highly specialized instrument (one time use) is used to "refinish" the skin's top layers through a method of controlled scraping. This procedure is safely performed using a sterile blade and handles made exclusively for dermaplaning. This treatment is extremely safe when used by a professionally trained skin care specialist. There is no more risk than a man shaving his face with a straight edge. It is non-invasive, quick and easy! How is this treatment performed? This treatment is safely performed by using a surgical blade. The blade is held against the skin at a 45 degree angle and stroked along the skin, just like shaving. However, the practitioner is doing the stroking while holding the area of skin taut. Is this treatment safe? This treatment, when professionally trained, is extremely safe. There is no risk involved. Will the hair on the face grow back thicker? No. It is physiologically impossible for your vellous hairs to grow back thicker. True, once the hair is cut, it has a blunt edge. But this blunt edge does not mean that the hair structure itself has been physiologically altered. Vellous hair will always grow back the way it was before it was dermaplaned.
