The end goal of an amazing facial is usually smooth, dewy skin. The cosmetic industry has come up with it all \u2014 from creams to chemical peels. Social media\u2019s newest obsession is #dermaplaning and is said to exfoliate skin and get rid of peach fuzz. What exactly is it and how does it work?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is Dermaplaning?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Dermaplaning is a quick procedure where a dermatologist or aesthetic doctor uses a surgical blade held at a 45-degree angle to skim dead skin off your face. Much like other forms of exfoliation, it removes the outermost layer of your skin, unclogs pores and helps your skin glow. In the process, the tiny facial hairs on your skin are removed as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is safe for most people, with little risk of side effects when performed properly. It does not require any downtime for recovery and results typically last three weeks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The idea is simple: as your skin is exposed daily to harsh environmental aspects like toxins and sun damage, dermaplaning can help clear the damaged skin cells to let the newer skin cells come through. This can be done as a standalone treatment or as part of a facial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may notice your skin look immediately brighter, but it often takes a few days before you see the full results. The results, however, are not permanent and will fade after about three weeks. Take note that with dermaplaning, it is important to be careful about sun exposure that can reverse the effects or create blotches on your skin. Sunscreen is essential! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are there any side effects to Dermaplaning?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Generally, dermaplaning is a low-risk procedure that may cause slight redness in your face after treatment. Although rare, it might irritate your skin or cause infection if done incorrectly or if the blade used is not sterile. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another important thing to note is that dermaplaning should be avoided if you suffer from acne, sunburn, or other inflammatory skin conditions such as eczema or psoriasis because dermaplaning will exacerbate these issues and further irritate your skin.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you do have acne and would like to avoid chemical peels, Microdermabrasion might be a good alternative to consider.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is the difference between Microdermabrasion and Dermaplaning?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Microdermabrasion<\/a> is also a minimally invasive procedure that helps exfoliate dead skin to improve skin tone and texture. The difference lies in the method and technology, where instead of using a blade, fine particles are used to create a mildly abrasive surface for exfoliation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
