In the quest for flawless and radiant skin, there are various beauty treatments and skincare routines to explore. One such treatment gaining popularity for its ability to deliver immediate results is dermaplaning. If you're curious about dermaplaning and want to learn more about this exfoliation technique, you've come to the right place. In this blog post, we'll delve into the world of dermaplaning, uncovering what it is, how it works, and the benefits it can offer your skin.
What Is Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that involves the use of a specialized tool to exfoliate the skin's surface by gently removing dead skin cells and fine vellus hairs, commonly referred to as "peach fuzz." At Gloss, this treatment is performed by experienced, licensed skincare professionals and is suitable for all skin types.
The Dermaplaning Process
The dermaplaning process typically involves the following steps:
Cleansing: The skin is thoroughly cleansed to remove any makeup, dirt, or oils.
Prepping: A skincare professional will prepare your skin for the treatment by applying a gentle antiseptic solution to ensure cleanliness.
The Dermaplaning Technique: Using a sterile surgical blade held at a 45-degree angle, the technician will gently glide the blade across the skin in short, controlled strokes. This technique exfoliates the outermost layer of dead skin cells and removes vellus hairs, revealing a smoother complexion underneath.
Post-Treatment Care: After dermaplaning, your skin may be slightly pink and feel exceptionally smooth. Post-treatment care typically involves applying a soothing serum and sunscreen to protect the newly exposed skin.
