Facial dermaplaning is a cosmetic procedure that involves gently scraping your face with a scalpel to remove the epidermis—your top layer of skin—and small hairs.
With an in-office dermaplaning procedure, dermatologists or licensed estheticians typically use a no. 10 stainless steel scalpel blade. The blade also gets rid of a superficial layer of dead skin cells called the stratum corneum. This can make your skin look brighter and help your skin-care products sink in better. The treatment typically takes about 15 to 30 minutes.
Dermaplaning is often done in conjunction with other treatments such a laser facials, chemical peels and medical grade facials. Rehydrating your skin post-dermaplaning is just as important, in order to protect the epidermal barrier you’re exfoliating, What you put on your face after the dermaplaning is the most important factor to this procedure, as the skin is able to absorb more. Medical grade skin care products are important for skin re-hydration and protection.
All of our Dermaplaning sessions are incorporated with a Hyaluronic Acid Mask, or post procedure skin care that best suits your skin type. At David Rose Laser & Medspa, we use only pharmaceutical grade products, which can only be found in Medical Spas with Medical Directors or Dermatologist offices.
