What is dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure for your skin. We uses a special instrument to shave away the uppermost layers of your skin.
Dermaplaning can help reduce the appearance of acne scars or other skin imperfections by revealing newer, undamaged skin. It can make your skin look younger; though, it doesn’t stop the aging process. Some people also get dermaplaning for hair removal. This is only a temporary fix because your hair will grow back.
Most people get the procedure on their face, but you can do it anywhere on your body.
Dermaplaning and microdermabrasion are all skin resurfacing procedures. Each procedure uses different tools and takes off different amounts of skin.
Dermaplaning uses a scalpel (knife) or razor to remove skin.
Microdermabrasionis a nonsurgical procedure that uses an exfoliating blade to sand away your skin to smooth it and remove the appearance of scars.
