What is Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is a gentle exfoliation treatment that uses a sterile surgical blade to carefully remove the outermost layer of dead skin cells along with fine vellus hair, commonly known as peach fuzz. The procedure is completely painless and requires no numbing or anesthesia. At our South Surrey clinic, our trained medical aesthetician performs each treatment with precision, revealing a fresh layer of smooth, radiant skin immediately. Most patients notice a healthy glow the moment the treatment is finished, making dermaplaning a popular choice before special events or as part of a regular skincare routine.
Benefits of Dermaplaning
One of the greatest advantages of dermaplaning is that it delivers visible results with absolutely no downtime. By removing the buildup of dead skin and fine hair, your skincare products can penetrate more deeply and work more effectively. Foundation and makeup glide on seamlessly, creating a flawless finish that lasts throughout the day. Dermaplaning also stimulates cell turnover, helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines, uneven texture, and dull skin tone. Because the treatment is non-invasive and chemical-free, it is suitable for a wide range of skin types, including those who may not tolerate stronger exfoliation methods.
Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I get dermaplaning?
For optimal results, we recommend scheduling a dermaplaning treatment every three to four weeks. This timeline aligns with your skin’s natural cell turnover cycle, allowing each session to build on the last for progressively smoother and brighter skin.
Is dermaplaning safe for sensitive skin?
Yes, dermaplaning is generally safe for sensitive skin. Our team carefully assesses each patient’s skin condition before the treatment to ensure it is the right fit. If you have any active irritation or specific concerns, we will recommend the best approach for your unique needs.
Can I combine dermaplaning with other treatments?
Absolutely. Dermaplaning pairs beautifully with chemical peels and HydraFacials. Removing the outer layer of dead skin first allows these treatments to penetrate more effectively, enhancing overall results. Dr. Iso and our team can help you create a customized treatment plan that combines services for the best outcome.
