Dermaplaning Frequently Asked Questions

Fresh, vibrant skin is a common goal among everyone. No one wants dull, lifeless skin that lacks glow and shine. The difficulty comes in finding a regimen that works well for you and produces the desired results. A great, non-invasive, way to refresh your skin is dermaplaning.

What is dermaplaning?

How is dermaplaning different than microdermabrasion?

Microdermabrasion produces similar results but uses a different technique. With microdermabrasion, an exfoliator is sprayed on the skin and is gently removed, taking away dead skin and cleaning out pores. In dermaplaning, the skin is manually scraped with the scalpel by a technician.

 

Does dermaplaning cause any side effects?

Dermaplaning has minimal, if any, side effects. It is gentle and non-invasive, so there is no pain or soreness after. Some people may find their skin is a little red or slightly irritated for a day or so after the procedure.
