Dermaplaning FAQ
How does dermaplaning work?
Dermaplaning is a method for exfoliating the top layers of dead skin cells by trimming them away with a sterile blade at a 45-degree angle. This technique results in a fresher complexion and smoother skin texture. Dermaplaning is a great add-on to your favorite facial treatment (facial, chemical peel, microneedling, etc.) for that added improvement of the skin.
How long does dermaplaning last?
Dermaplaning results typically last for up to four weeks, after which the natural process of skin cell regeneration resumes, and exfoliation may be needed again.
What are the benefits of dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning increases absorption of topical products, and removes dead layers of skin, giving the skin a healthier, more radiant appearance. It also smooths the skin for application of makeup leaving your skin looking more airbrushed and flawless.
Is dermaplaning safe?
Yes, dermaplaning is a safe and effective treatment when performed by a qualified skincare professional at Arsenault Aesthetics. It is suitable for most skin types, excluding those with active acne or highly sensitive skin.
Does dermaplaning hurt?
Dermaplaning is a painless procedure as it involves the use of a sterile, surgical-grade blade to gently exfoliate the skin's surface, removing dead skin cells and fine vellus hair without causing discomfort.
Can you dermaplane on dry skin?
Yes, dermaplaning is suitable for dry skin as it gently removes dead skin cells and promotes a smoother, more radiant complexion. It is important to moisturize and nourish the skin after the treatment to maintain optimal results.
Does dermaplaning cause acne?
No, dermaplaning does not cause acne. In fact, it helps remove dead skin cells and surface debris, which can contribute to clogged pores and acne formation.
Does dermaplaning help with acne?
Dermaplaning can help with acne by gently exfoliating the skin and reducing the buildup of dead skin cells that may contribute to acne. However, it is not recommended for individuals with active acne or inflamed skin.
Who can get dermaplaning?
When performed by a qualified aesthetician, dermaplaning is safe for most skin types. There is little risk of side effects.
How often should you dermaplane?
Dermaplaning should be done every 4-6 weeks to maintain results and the removal of peach fuzz.
How long after dermaplaning can I wear makeup?
You can usually apply makeup 24 hours after dermaplaning. It is advised to allow your skin to breathe and recover immediately following the treatment.
Is dermaplaning the same as shaving?
Dermaplaning is not the same as shaving. While both remove fine vellus hair, dermaplaning uses a specialized, sterile blade to gently exfoliate the skin, whereas shaving typically removes hair without addressing dead skin cells.
Will dermaplaning cause stubble?
No, dermaplaning will not cause stubble. The fine hair removed during the treatment grows back soft and without a blunt edge, ensuring a smooth and natural appearance.
Will the hair grow back thicker after dermaplaning?
No, the hair will not grow back thicker. The type of hair that is typically removed during a dermaplaning procedure is known as vellus hair, commonly referred to as "peach fuzz." This hair is fine and soft, and when it grows back after a dermaplaning session, it maintains its original characteristics. You can rest assured that dermaplaning will not cause your hair to grow back thicker or coarser. It will return as the same fine, soft vellus hair you had before. This makes dermaplaning a safe and effective method for exfoliating the skin and removing fine facial hair without altering the hair's texture or density.
Is dermaplaning good for women and men?
Yes! Both men and women can benefit from dermaplaning.
How Dermaplaning Works
Dermaplaning is a non-invasive, exfoliating skincare treatment that utilizes a sterile, surgical-grade blade to gently remove dead skin cells and fine, vellus hair (peach fuzz) from the skin’s surface. This procedure promotes a smoother, more radiant complexion, while enhancing the effectiveness of skincare products by allowing them to penetrate more deeply.
Performed by our experienced skincare professionals at Arsenault Aesthetics, dermaplaning is a safe and effective treatment for achieving smooth, healthy, revitalized skin.
What to Expect
Your dermaplaning appointment at Arsenault Aesthetics begins with a thorough consultation, where your skincare specialist will discuss your skin concerns and goals, ensuring dermaplaning is the right treatment for you.
The procedure starts with cleansing the skin to remove any makeup, dirt, or oil. Your aesthetician will then use a sterile, surgical-grade blade to gently exfoliate the skin, removing dead skin cells and fine hair in the process. The treatment is painless and lasts approximately 30 to 45 minutes.
After the dermaplaning procedure, your aesthetician may apply a soothing serum or moisturizer to calm and nourish the skin, further enhancing the treatment’s results. You’ll be provided with post-treatment care instructions to ensure optimal healing and maintain the benefits of dermaplaning.
Dermaplaning Treatment Benefits
Dermaplaning offers a variety of aesthetic and non-aesthetic benefits to improve skin health and appearance.
Dermaplaning gently removes dead skin cells and fine hair from the skin’s surface, resulting in a smoother, more even texture. This improved texture not only feels great but also provides a flawless canvas for makeup application.
By exfoliating the top layer of skin, dermaplaning promotes cell turnover and reveals a brighter, more radiant complexion. Say goodbye to dull, lackluster skin, and hello to a healthy glow.
Dermaplaning enhances the effectiveness of your skincare products by allowing them to penetrate more deeply into the skin. This helps you get the most out of your favorite serums, moisturizers, and other treatments.
The exfoliation process stimulates collagen production, which helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Dermaplaning can help you achieve a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance.
Dermaplaning is a safe and effective treatment for most skin types, with the exception of those with active acne or highly sensitive skin. It is a gentle alternative to chemical peels and other more aggressive exfoliation methods.
Dermaplaning is a non-invasive, painless procedure that requires no downtime. You can return to your daily activities immediately after treatment, making it a convenient option for those with busy schedules.
By removing peach fuzz and creating a smoother skin surface, dermaplaning allows for a more even and flawless makeup application.
Dermaplaning requires no downtime, making it a convenient option for those looking for a quick, effective skincare treatment. Your skin may appear slightly pink or flushed after the procedure, but this should subside within a few hours.
Dermaplaning results typically last for up to four weeks.
