Treatment Overview
Dermaplaning is performed by gently scraping away the top layer of dead skin cells and fine hair with a sterile surgical blade. The procedure is painless, safe, and effective for most skin types. It makes your skin’s surface smoother, letting your skincare products absorb better. Creating a silky-smooth surface also provides an excellent canvas for makeup application.
What to Expect
Before the Treatment
- Your skincare specialist at Symmetry Aesthetics and Wellness will conduct a brief skin analysis to ensure dermaplaning is suitable for your skin. Avoid retinoids and exfoliants for at least 24-48 hours before your session. No makeup is required before treatment.
During the Treatment
- The practitioner will gently glide a sterile scalpel across the surface of your skin, carefully removing dead cells and peach fuzz without discomfort. It takes about 30-45 minutes and feels gentle, similar to a soft brushstroke.
After the Treatment
- Your skin will feel silky smooth and look more radiant. There’s no downtime, though it’s recommended to avoid direct sun exposure for 24 hours and wear sunscreen to protect your freshly exfoliated skin. You can continue your daily routine right after the treatment.
Maintenance
Dermaplaning treatments should be scheduled every 4 to 6 weeks to maintain optimal results. Regular sessions help keep your complexion smooth, radiant, and buildup-free.
