Dermaplaning is an effective and safe exfoliation procedure.  It uses a sterile surgical scalpel to shave the surface of the skin to remove excess dead skin and peach fuzz hairs. The tool is held at a 45 degree angle and is brushed along the skin to remove the hair and skin cells.  The procedure is only performed on the face and is not used for shaping the eyebrows, which the hair is much thicker. It is generally a stand alone procedure, but it does create deeper product penetration boosting the products effects.  The procedure makes skin look and feel smoother and will reduces the appearance of acne scars.

Dermaplaning is usually performed every four to six weeks.  It is good to have the skin complete its normal rejuvenation cycle, which is thirty days, before going back and having the treatment done.  The procedure generally will remove between two to three weeks of dead skin from the facial area .

*Sometimes after dermaplaning, the skin could end up peeling slightly.  This normally only happens when there is not enough time in between treatments to let the hair’s growth cycle be completed.  This is why it is important to leave enough time between visits to get the best results.

*There is no need to worry about the hair on your face getting any darker.  Since dermaplaning only targets the vellus hair (peachfuzz) the hair will grow back the same size and colour.  It is physiologically impossible for the hair to grow back thicker and dark, so no need to panic and worry. 

**Never do this procedure at home. Leave it to the professionals at My Clinic Room to ensure a safe and effective treatment.  If you are interested in scheduling an appointment or just learning more about dermaplaning or any of our other treatments please call today!
