What is dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure for your skin that can help reduce the appearance of acne scars or other skin imperfections by revealing newer, undanaged skin. It can make your skin look younger; though, it doesn't stop the aging process. Most people get the procedure on their face, but you can do it anywhere on your body. Dermaplaning is an ideal treatment for those with excess vellus hair that can cause dirt and oil to clog follicles and is a perfect add on for many aesthetic procedures. Dermaplaning and Microneedling are effective stand alone treatments, but combined they can produce optimal results. This exfoliation allows for your skincare products to penetrate into the deeper layers. Dermaplaning is also a prime exfoliation treatment for those who are pregnant or nursing and not allowed to use chemical peeling agents.
