Dermaplaning at Q Dermatology + Aesthetics Centre
Achieve smoother, radiant skin with professional dermaplaning at Q Dermatology + Aesthetics Centre in Langley. Remove dead skin cells and peach fuzz for a fresh, glowing complexion.
What is Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is a manual exfoliation technique that uses a sterilized surgical scalpel to gently scrape away dead skin cells and fine, vellus hair (often referred to as "peach fuzz") from the surface of your skin. By removing these layers, dermaplaning reveals a smoother, more polished complexion. It also helps your skincare products to penetrate deeper, increasing their effectiveness.
The procedure is quick, painless, and non-invasive, with minimal risk or side effects. It’s ideal for individuals looking to improve the texture and appearance of their skin without undergoing more aggressive treatments.
Benefits of Dermaplaning
Brighter Complexion:
By sloughing off the buildup of dead skin, dermaplaning helps reveal a brighter, more radiant complexion, giving your skin a natural glow.
Hair Removal:
The treatment removes fine vellus hair (peach fuzz), which can make your skin look smoother and more even, without the worry of hair regrowth being coarse or thick.
Enhances Skincare Product Absorption:
By removing the barrier of dead skin, dermaplaning allows your skincare products to penetrate more deeply, making them more effective.
Non-Invasive and No Downtime:
Unlike chemical peels or more invasive treatments, dermaplaning is a gentle procedure that requires no downtime. You can return to your normal activities immediately after treatment.
Smoother Skin Texture:
Dermaplaning removes dead skin cells, resulting in smoother, softer skin with an instantly refreshed appearance.
Improved Makeup Application:
Dermaplaning creates a smooth canvas, allowing makeup to go on more evenly and seamlessly. Your makeup will look flawless, with fewer imperfections and better longevity.
How Does Dermaplaning Work?
The dermaplaning procedure is simple and involves the following steps:
Cleansing:
Your aesthetician will first cleanse your face to remove any dirt, oil, or makeup from your skin’s surface.Exfoliation:
Using a sterile surgical scalpel, the aesthetician gently scrapes the surface of your skin. The scalpel is moved in light, upward strokes, removing dead skin cells and fine hair (peach fuzz).Hydration and Protection:
After the exfoliation is complete, your skin will be moisturized with a nourishing product to keep your skin hydrated and protected.
Duration:
The treatment typically takes 30-45 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated.
What to Expect After Dermaplaning
Immediate Results:
After your dermaplaning session, your skin will feel smooth and look radiant. Results are instantly visible, with no downtime required. There may be slight redness or sensitivity in the treated area, but this should subside within a few hours.Post-Treatment Care:
Avoid Sun Exposure: After dermaplaning, your skin will be more sensitive to the sun. Be sure to apply broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher every day.
Moisturize: Keep your skin hydrated by using a gentle moisturizer. This will help to calm the skin and lock in moisture.
Gentle Skincare: Avoid using exfoliating products or harsh skincare ingredients like retinols for 24-48 hours after your treatment to prevent irritation.
Long-Term Results:
Dermaplaning is a temporary treatment. To maintain results, it’s recommended to have dermaplaning done every 4-6 weeks, depending on your skin’s needs.
Is Dermaplaning Right for Me?
Dermaplaning is suitable for most skin types, including sensitive skin, as long as you don’t have active acne or open wounds. It is not recommended for individuals with severe acne or certain skin conditions like eczema or rosacea, as it could irritate the skin.
