When it comes to skin peels, they are formulated to penetrate deeper into the skin. Chemical peels are designed to address deeper wrinkles, sun damage, and other deeper skin concerns. Skin peels typically have a longer healing time than Dermaplaning because they penetrate deeper into the skin.

It is important to note that both treatments have their own benefits and limitations. While Dermaplaning is a quick and effective way to exfoliate the skin, skin peels can offer more long-lasting and profound benefits for those with deeper skin concerns. It is recommended to consult a skincare professional to determine which treatment is best suited for your unique skin concerns and needs.

Dermaplaning is generally considered safe when performed by a licensed and trained provider. However, like any procedure, there are some risks involved, including minor cuts or nicks to the skin, redness, and irritation. It is important to choose a reputable and experienced provider to minimize these risks. It is also important to avoid dermaplaning if you have active acne, eczema, or other skin conditions that may be worsened by exfoliation. Overall, dermaplaning is a low-risk procedure that can provide excellent results when performed by a skilled professional.

While dermaplaning involves a surgical scalpel, it is not a painful treatment. The surgical scalpel is used to gently scrape off the top layer of dead skin cells from the surface of your skin. As a result, there is no swelling, redness or pain associated with the treatment. Most clients say they feel relaxed during the procedure, making it a great option for those who want to achieve smoother, brighter skin without any discomfort.

Dermaplaning is suitable for all skin types except those with acne. If you have deep cystic acne, wait until your breakouts calm down before getting this treatment.

This procedure is perfect for pregnant or nursing women who want exfoliation. This treatment is safe for the baby because it does not involve harsh chemicals.

Before the procedure, discuss your skin allergies and sensitivities with your provider.

Contrary to popular belief, Dermaplaning will not make the hair on your face grow thicker or darker. To illustrate, vellus hair and terminal hair are the different types of hair that grow on the body. Vellus hair is found on most body parts except the lips, palms, and soles. In contrast, terminal hairs grow on the scalp and underarms.The hair on your face has soft and fine vellus hair, which will grow at the same texture and speed as before your treatment.

While it is possible to wear makeup after Dermaplaning, it is recommended to avoid wearing heavy makeup or using makeup brushes for the first 24 hours after the procedure. This will allow your skin to fully heal and reduce the risk of any irritation or infection. Additionally, it is important to use clean and sterilized makeup tools to prevent any bacteria from entering your freshly exfoliated skin. Light mineral-based powder or liquid foundation is recommended for the first day after Dermaplaning. After that, you can resume your normal makeup routine.

It is recommended to wait for at least 21 days before your next Dermaplaning session. This allows your skin to complete its rejuvenation cycle. However, the frequency of treatments may vary depending on individual skin conditions and concerns.

If you have resilient skin, you may opt to combine Dermaplaning another service. It is essential to consult with your Aesthetic Nurse Practitioner to determine the best course of action for your specific needs.

Aftercare is crucial to maintain the benefits of your Dermaplaning treatment and prevent any adverse effects. It is recommended that you follow these tips after receiving the procedure:

Avoid sunbeds or any holiday trips for at least two weeks.

Refrain from heat treatments, gym, sauna, or swimming for 24 hours.

Avoid any certain beauty treatments on your face two weeks before or after the treatment. For example, laser treatments.

Do not use potent retinol, glycolic, or prescription products five days before or after treatment.

You can wear mineral makeup for the first 24 hours after treatment.

By following these guidelines, you can help your skin recover and maintain its newly rejuvenated appearance. It’s also important to keep your skin hydrated and moisturized by drinking plenty of water and using appropriate skincare products recommended by your aesthetician.
