Dermaplaning
Dermaplaning is a cosmetic procedure that involves using a scalpel or a specialised tool to gently scrape the surface of the skin, removing dead skin cells and vellus hair, also known as "peach fuzz". The process aims to exfoliate the skin, resulting in a smoother, brighter complexion.
Benefits
The benefits of dermaplaning may include:
Exfoliation:
Dermaplaning effectively removes dead skin cells, which can contribute to a dull complexion. By exfoliating the skin, it can promote a more radiant and even skin tone.
Removal of vellus hair:
The procedure can also eliminate vellus hair or peach fuzz from the skin's surface. This removal can create a smoother canvas for makeup application and improve the overall appearance of the skin.
Enhanced product absorption:
After dermaplaning, the skin is primed for better absorption of skincare products, such as serums and moisturizers. The removal of dead skin cells and vellus hair allows these products to penetrate deeper into the skin.

The Process
The process for administering dermaplaning typically involves the following steps:
1
Consultation: Before the procedure, a consultation with a trained aesthetician or dermatologist is essential. This allows the practitioner to assess the client's skin condition, discuss expectations, and address any concerns.
2
Preparing the skin: The skin is cleansed thoroughly to remove any makeup, dirt, or oil. It is important to start with a clean and dry surface before proceeding with dermaplaning.
3
Performing the treatment: The practitioner holds a sterile surgical blade at a specific angle and gently scrapes the surface of the skin in short, upward strokes. The process is done with precision and care to avoid causing any discomfort or cuts.
4
Post-treatment care: Once the dermaplaning is complete, a gentle cleanser is used to remove any remaining debris from the skin. The aesthetician may then apply soothing serums or moisturizers to hydrate and calm the skin. It is crucial to follow the practitioner's recommendations for post-treatment care, which may include avoiding sun exposure and wearing sunscreen.

Dermaplaning should be performed by a certified and experienced professional to ensure safety and desired results. While the procedure is generally safe, it may not be suitable for individuals with certain skin conditions or who are prone to keloid scars. A consultation with a skincare professional is important to determine if dermaplaning is the right treatment for an individual's specific needs.
