Are you interested in a painless way to remove the fine hairs on your face? Look no further. Dermaplaning is not only painless, but gives you immediate results.

Vellus hair (also called “peach fuzz”) can be removed by a skilled dermaplane aesthetician using a sterile modified scalpel. While it may sound scary, it actually is a very safe procedure as long as you do your homework and choose a licensed professional.

In this blog post, our Farmington Hills registered nurse at Ageless Image Aesthetic Services will explain what you can expect during the dermaplane facial hair removal procedure. For more information on dermaplaning results, we recommend contacting a medical spa near you.

Why should I try dermaplaning?

Peach fuzz and dead skin cells are enough to dull your complexion and make it difficult for skin care products to penetrate the surface. Thankfully, dermaplane treatments are a safe cosmetic skin treatment procedure that removes both vellus hairs and dead skin so you’re left with a glowing complexion. Best of all, the procedure is absolutely painless.

Benefits of dermaplane facial hair removal include:

  • No “peach fuzz” on face
  • No dead skin cells on face
  • Improved skin tone
  • Improved skin texture
  • Skin is left brighter and smoother

What happens during dermaplaning?

The dermaplaning aesthetician will stretch out your facial skin and hold it taut before sweeping a scalpel across your cheeks, chin, forehead, and nose. The aesthetician is trained to sweep the scalpel in gentle upward motions in a way that is safe, yet effective.

This skin care treatment can be done in less than 30 minutes, making it easy to fit within a busy schedule. There is no recovery needed after dermaplaning like you might need with other cosmetic procedures, which means you can continue your day uninterrupted. However, you may experience slight facial redness or irritation.

What happens to my skin after dermaplaning?

After your dermaplaning appointment, you may notice that skin care products work better. This is because the active ingredients don’t get blocked by dead skin cells and vellus hair. As an added side bonus, you may also notice that you can apply makeup much more smoothly.

To maintain the effects of dermaplaning, we recommend scheduling an appointment once a month. Some of the long-term effects of dermaplaning facial hair removal include increased cell turnover, less acne scarring, and smoother skin.

It is a myth that your facial hair will grow back darker and thicker. Dermaplaning is no more harmful than using a razor to shave your face. However, unlike shaving, you will need a licensed professional for dermaplaning. We recommend scheduling a dermaplane appointment every 3 to 4 weeks to keep skin looking radiant.
