What Is Dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning is a quick, well-known, safe, and effective procedure that helps facial skin look and feel its very best. This treatment will gently scrape old, dead skin cells, fine facial hair (vellus hair), and old scars from acne and other causes, leaving the skin looking fresh and young again.

Dermaplaning is very popular today with reality television stars and other celebrities. The reasons are simple: it can be completed quickly, has no side effects or complications, and delivers amazing results.

Testimonials

Dr. Glasgold spent so much time with me during my initial consult. He listened to me thoroughly before sharing his insight and suggestions. I thought I needed more invasive and expensive procedures, but he kindly disagreed and proposed cost-effective solutions. I’m happy with how my BOTOX and fillers look, and I really appreciate all the time he spent with me. I hope they start taking Care Credit soon!

S.C.

Dr. Robert was very caring, and I am very happy with the results—Jessica, the nurse, was just great!

Ideal Candidates for Dermaplaning

The best candidates for dermaplaning in New Jersey at Glasgold Group have some level of superficial skin damage or scarring that they wish to remedy but are otherwise healthy. Dermaplaning is also an excellent choice for women who are pregnant or nursing and cannot use any chemicals or peeling agents to support healthier-looking skin.

Candidates should take care to stay out of the sun before and after their procedure so their skin is not compromised. This is especially important following the procedure, as dermaplaning will stimulate your facial skin to create more collagen, a protein that contributes to younger-looking, more hydrated skin.

NOTE: Dermaplaning candidates who are currently under the care of a dermatologist for any skin conditions should consult with their provider before scheduling a procedure.

Dermaplaning vs. Microdermabrasion

Some patients hear the word “dermaplaning” and associate it with “dermabrasion.” It is important to clarify that the two procedures have nothing in common! Dermaplaning, unlike microdermabrasion, is a trusted staple treatment for licensed cosmetologists, dermatologists, and cosmetic surgeons today. Microdermabrasion is a procedure that removes skin layers to expose healthy new skin.

Microdermabrasion is very popular but is not a simple, low-risk treatment for the patient or licensed practitioner. Dermaplaning, on the other hand, is much less invasive and yet delivers strikingly similar results. It helps you achieve clear, smooth skin without the downtime of microdermabrasion or other manual exfoliation procedures.

Dermaplaning uses a single blade to gently exfoliate the top layer of skin, exposing new skin cells for healthier-looking skin. Unlike microdermabrasion, which uses a rotary machine to remove dead skin and leave it looking dull, dermaplaning delivers new collagen that improves the overall texture of your skin while enhancing the quality and health of existing collagen.

What to Expect During Dermaplaning Treatment

Dermaplaning is safe, effective, and easy. Dermaplaning is an outpatient procedure that takes about a half-hour to complete, so it can be done during your lunch hour from work if need be. Patients say the procedure is completely painless. In fact, to the casual observer, a patient receiving dermaplaning might appear instead to be simply receiving a close shave from a particularly meticulous barber!

Here is what to expect during a dermaplaning procedure:

  1. You will schedule your appointment and arrive on time the day of.
  2. Your practitioner will gently clean your skin before beginning dermaplaning.
  3. Using a knife with a No. 10 surgical blade made of stainless steel, your practitioner will gently feather the blade across your facial skin. You must hold completely still during this part!
  4. Following your procedure, your practitioner will apply a moisturizing sunscreen agent to your skin.
  5. You are free to return to work and daily life immediately.

Recovery Process From Dermaplaning

The best news about dermaplaning recovery is that no downtime is required. The skin won’t even look irritated, inflamed, or red, so co-workers and family members won’t know what has suddenly rejuvenated and revitalized your skin. There is no discomfort and no need for the application of any special topical creams or solutions following the procedure. However, it is not recommended to have the dermaplaning procedure done more than once every 30 days because the process removes any dead or damaged skin cells from the prior three-week period.

Dermaplaning Aftercare

Patients should stay out of the sun before and after their procedure so that their skin is not compromised. This is especially important following the procedure, as dermaplaning will stimulate your facial skin to create more collagen, a protein that contributes to younger-looking, more hydrated skin.
