Dermaplanning: The Secret to Smoother, Brighter Skin

At Cara Mia Medical Spa, we are committed to providing superior skincare services and education to men and women of all ages, colors, and skin types. One of our most popular treatments is dermaplaning, a specialized exfoliation procedure designed to give you smoother, brighter skin. If you haven't heard about this amazing treatment, or if you're curious about its benefits, read on for everything you need to know about dermaplaning.



What is Dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning is a highly effective skincare treatment that involves the gentle scraping of the skin using a sterile surgical scalpel. This process removes dead skin cells and fine vellus hair (commonly referred to as peach fuzz), resulting in a smoother skin texture and a more radiant complexion. The entire procedure is painless and typically lasts about 30-45 minutes, making it a convenient option for those with busy schedules.

Benefits of Dermaplaning

Improved Skin Texture

One of the primary benefits of dermaplaning is the instant improvement in skin texture. By removing the layer of dead skin cells, this treatment reveals a fresher, more youthful layer of skin. You'll notice that your skin feels incredibly smooth to the touch, making it an excellent base for makeup application.

Enhanced Absorption of Skincare Products

Following a dermaplaning session, your skin is better able to absorb skincare products. With the barrier of dead skin cells and fine hair removed, serums, moisturizers, and other treatments can penetrate more deeply into the skin, maximizing their effectiveness. This makes dermaplaning an ideal treatment to complement your existing skincare routine.

A More Radiant Complexion

Dermaplaning offers immediate results, including a noticeably brighter complexion. The removal of dead skin cells and fine hair allows for a more luminous, glowing appearance. If you're looking to achieve that coveted radiant glow, dermaplaning is the way to go.

Safe and Suitable for Most Skin Types

Dermaplaning is safe for most skin types, including those with sensitive skin. However, it is not recommended for individuals with active acne, as the scraping motion can irritate breakout-prone areas. For those without active acne, dermaplaning provides a safe and effective way to exfoliate and rejuvenate the skin.

The Dermaplaning Process

Pre-Treatment Cleansing

Before the dermaplaning procedure begins, your skin will be thoroughly cleansed to remove any makeup, oil, or impurities. This ensures that the treatment is as effective as possible and minimizes the risk of irritation.

Exfoliation

Using a sterile surgical scalpel, your licensed esthetician will gently scrape off dead skin cells and fine vellus hair from your face. The process is painless and feels similar to a light brushing sensation. It is meticulously done to ensure even exfoliation across the entire face.

Post-Treatment Care

After the dermaplaning session, a soothing moisturizer and sunscreen are applied to protect and nourish your newly revealed skin. It's important to avoid products with strong acids or exfoliants for 3-5 days post-treatment to allow your skin to heal and maximize the benefits of the procedure. Additionally, apply sunscreen with at least SPF 30, and reapply every two hours if you're spending time outdoors.
