You've certainly heard of dermaplaning, an exfoliating procedure where a certified medical esthetician uses a surgical scalpel to gently peel the top layer of your skin. But if you want to get it done you need to educate yourself a little on this subject. Here is everything you need to know about it!
What is dermaplaning?
The process of dermaplaning involves manually exfoliating the skin to get rid of tiny hairs and dead skin buildup. The goal is to improve the skin's appearance rather than remove hair so, it slightly differs from shaving. The main goal of dermaplaning is to cleanse the skin to reveal a glowing complexion.
Benefits of Dermaplaning
The procedure is really straightforward and is similar to shaving any other portion of your body. It takes roughly 30 minutes to properly use this exfoliating process, which is harmless. Following a thorough cleaning and drying of your skin, the aesthetician will hold a sterile 10 gauge blade in one hand while using the other to gently extract a section of your skin. She will then remove the facial hair and dead skin cells from the top layer of your skin using a brief, delicate stroke.
How to take care of your skin after dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning removes the skin's outermost layer, thus aftercare is important. It is important to use sunscreen after being cautious about sun safety, such as the Dr. LEVY Pollution Shield SPF for anti-pollution protection. Adding a mild moisturiser to your skin care regimen and avoiding retinol- and chemical-exfoliant-containing products for three to four days after the treatment is essential. For gentle hydration, try the Croma Hyaluronic Acid Face Mask to soothe and replenish moisture. The Epicutis Lipid Serum is also excellent for barrier repair after exfoliating treatments. Eventually, dead skin will reappear, and hair will grow again, so you'll need to keep up your treatments if you want long-lasting results.
