should you try dermaplaning? a guide to the popular skin treatment

Have you ever dreamed of skin that feels as smooth as silk? Dermaplaning is a revolutionary beauty treatment that can help you achieve that dream. It's a non-invasive procedure that has taken the skincare world by storm, promising incredible results. But what exactly is dermaplaning, and is it right for you? Let's find out.

What is Dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning is a non-invasive procedure that exfoliates the skin by gently scraping away the top layer with a sterile, surgical blade. This removes dead skin cells and fine hairs, leaving the skin feeling soft and smooth.

Benefits of Dermaplaning

• Smoother Skin: Dermaplaning can significantly reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. ✨
• Brighter Complexion: By removing dead skin cells, the procedure can help your skin look brighter and more radiant. ☀️
• Improved Product Absorption: A smoother skin surface can better absorb skincare products, making them more effective. 💦
• Hair Removal: Dermaplaning can temporarily reduce peach fuzz and fine facial hair. 🪒
  

Is Dermaplaning Right for You?

While dermaplaning is generally safe, it may not be suitable for everyone. Consider these factors:

• Skin Type: Those with sensitive or acne-prone skin may want to consult with a dermatologist before trying dermaplaning.
• Goals: If your primary goal is to treat acne or deep wrinkles, dermaplaning may not be the most effective solution.
• Pregnancy: Pregnant women should avoid dermaplaning as it may increase the risk of skin irritation.
  

Dermaplaning at Home vs. Professional Treatments

You can perform dermaplaning at home with a specially designed tool, but professional treatments offer several advantages:

• Safety: A trained professional can ensure proper technique and minimize the risk of complications.
• Precision: Professionals can target specific areas of concern and achieve more consistent results.
• Additional Treatments: Many professional dermaplaning sessions include other treatments, such as facials or chemical peels, for enhanced benefits.
  
  -Bonus tip: If you do decide to try your hand at dermaplaning, we recommend applying our Reset Cleansing Oil to your face before you begin. This will allow the blade to glide gently along your skin and will reduce the risk of irritation or nicking the skin.

Dermaplaning Aftercare

To maintain the results of your dermaplaning treatment and minimize irritation, follow these aftercare tips:

• Avoid Sun Exposure: Protect your skin from the sun with a broad-spectrum sunscreen. We offer an Organic Mineral Sunscreen with SPF 50.
• Gentle Skincare: Use gentle, non-irritating skincare products.
• Avoid Further Exfoliation: Avoid other forms of exfoliation for a few days after dermaplaning.
