How Dermaplaning Can Transform Your Skin

Updated: Jul 9, 2023


If you are looking for a simple and effective way to exfoliate your skin and remove unwanted facial hair, you may want to try dermaplaning. Dermaplaning is a cosmetic procedure that involves gently scraping your face with a scalpel to remove the top layer of your skin and the fine hairs on your face. It can make your skin smoother, brighter, and more radiant.


Dermaplaning is not new technique, as it has been used for decades in different parts of the world. Dermaplaning was a common practice among Japanese women, who used facial shaving as an anti-aging treatment for decades. They believed that shaving the face not only removed unwanted hair, but also stimulated blood circulation and collagen production, resulting in smoother and younger-looking skin. Dermaplaning has become more popular in the US and the UK in recent years, as more people are looking for non-invasive and effective ways to improve their skin texture, tone, and appearance.


What is Dermaplane?

Dermaplaning is a type of physical exfoliation that uses a surgical scalpel to skim off the dead skin cells and the peach fuzz from your face. It is different from shaving, as it is performed with a specially designed blade and at a 45-degree angle. The purpose of this procedure is to exfoliate your skin, make it smoother and brighter, and enhance the absorption of skincare products.


Dermaplaning can be done on its own or as a preparation step for other skincare treatments, such as chemical peels or laser treatments. It can help these treatments penetrate more effectively and deliver better results. Dermaplaning can also be combined with other treatments, such as masks or serums, to enhance the benefits of dermaplaning.


The Benefits of Dermaplane

Dermaplaning has many benefits for your skin, such as:

  • It removes dead skin cells and impurities that can make your skin look dull or uneven. This can improve the texture and tone of your skin and reveal the smoother and brighter skin underneath.

  • It reduces the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and hyperpigmentation. By removing the outermost layer of your skin, dermaplaning can help smooth out these imperfections and make your skin look more youthful and flawless.

  • It creates a smooth canvas for makeup application and prevents it from looking cakey or patchy. By removing the peach fuzz from your face, dermaplaning can help your makeup glide on more evenly and last longer.

  • It allows your skincare products to absorb better into your skin and work more effectively. By eliminating the barrier of dead skin cells, dermaplaning can help your skincare products penetrate deeper into your skin and provide optimal results.

  • It removes unwanted facial hair without causing irritation or ingrown hairs. Unlike other hair removal methods, such as waxing, threading, or plucking, dermaplaning does not pull or tug on the hair follicles. This can prevent inflammation, redness, or bumps on your skin.

The risks of Dermaplane

Some of the risks or drawbacks of a dermaplane facial are:

  • It can cause cuts, nicks, or infections if not done properly or with a sterile blade. Rest assured Anila is both a trained and experienced beauty therapist.

  • It can cause skin sensitivity, redness, or dryness after the treatment.

  • It can trigger breakouts or allergic reactions in some people, especially if they have sensitive skin or active acne.

  • It can cause sun damage or hyperpigmentation if you don’t wear sunscreen after the treatment.

The Dermaplane procedure

The procedure takes about 30 minutes and doesn’t require any downtime. However, you should avoid using harsh products, exfoliating, waxing, or tanning for at least a week after the treatment. You should also wear sunscreen and moisturize your skin daily to protect it from sun damage and dehydration.


How to prepare for dermaplaning?

  • Avoid sun exposure, waxing, shaving, or tanning on your face for at least 24 hours before the treatment. This can prevent irritation or sensitivity on your skin.

  • Its best to arrive at the Salon without makeup. There are added benefits to exfoliating or using a skin peel to prepare your skin for dermaplaning. These options can be discussed during your consultation and are included in the MILLION DOLLAR Facial Packages at RIDAN BEAUTY.

  • Avoid getting dermaplaning if you have any cuts, wounds, infections, or inflammations on your face.

How often should you get a Dermaplane facial?

You can get a dermaplane facial once every four to six weeks, depending on your skin type and needs. Book a consultation with Anila for your personalised skincare plan.
