Unlock Radiant Skin: The Benefits of Dermaplaning Facials at Eden MedSpa

When you visit a medical spa like Eden MedSpa, finding a solution to improve your skin can seem overwhelming. However, Ngozi Oriaku – Aesthetician understands the challenges of selecting the right procedure to meet your needs. One popular treatment that effectively clears the skin is the dermaplaning facial.

How does dermaplaning benefit the skin?

Dermaplaning is a manual exfoliation technique that utilizes a sanitized surgical scalpel to gently eliminate the top layer of dead skin cells and vellus hair, also known as peach fuzz, from the face. This procedure is sometimes referred to as epidermal leveling or blading, and it has been used for many years to improve skin texture and tone. By removing the outermost layer of skin and hair, dermaplaning allows for better product absorption and a smoother, more radiant complexion.

What are the advantages of dermaplaning facials?

  • Improved texture and tone. Dermaplaning enhances your skin’s overall texture and tone by eliminating dead skin cells and vellus hair, making your skin feel smoother and brighter.
  • Enhanced product absorption. With the top layer of dead skin cells removed, skincare products penetrate deeper into the skin, making them more effective. This means you may see better results from your daily skin care routine after a dermaplaning facial.
  • Reduced appearance of fine lines and even wrinkles. The dermaplaning process removes the outer layer of the skin, which can also help reduce the natural appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
  • Minimized appearance of acne scars. Dermaplaning can also help to improve the look of acne scars. Deeper scars may require additional care, but more surface scars are easily addressed with this treatment.
  • No downtime. Dermaplaning requires no downtime, allowing you to resume normal activities immediately with a fresh and natural glow!
  • Safe for all skin types. Dermaplaning is a safe and effective option for every skin type, including sensitive or reactive skin.

Is dermaplaning painful?

While the idea of a surgical blade on your face may sound scary, dermaplaning is actually a painless procedure. Most clients only feel slight scraping as the blade glides over their skin.

How often should you get a dermaplaning facial?

For best results and to maintain smooth and clear skin, it is recommended that dermaplaning be performed every three to four weeks.

FAQs about

Is dermaplaning suitable for all skin types?

Dermaplaning is safe and effective for many skin types. It works especially well for patients with dry skin, dull texture, mild acne scars, or fine facial hair. However, patients with active acne, inflamed skin, or certain skin conditions such as rosacea may need alternative treatments. A consultation with our aesthetician will help determine if dermaplaning is right for you.

How long does dermaplaning take?

A dermaplaning session is quick and convenient. Most treatments take about 30-45 minutes. Many patients schedule appointments during lunch breaks because there is little interruption to their daily routine.

Is there any downtime after dermaplaning?

No! You may experience mild redness after treatment, but it only lasts a few hours. That means you can resume your normal activities right after treatment. Wearing sunscreen afterward is important because freshly exfoliated skin can be more sensitive to sunlight.

How long do the results last?

Results typically last about 3 to 4 weeks. Over time, dead skin cells naturally build up again, and fine facial hair returns as part of the normal growth cycle. Most clients maintain the results with retreatment sessions every 4-6 weeks.

Will my facial hair grow thicker and darker?

No! This is one of the most common misconceptions about dermaplaning. The treatment does not change the color, thickness, or growth rate of your facial hair. Hair may feel slightly different as it grows back because of the blunt edge created during treatment, but it will not become darker or coarser.

What are the alternatives to dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning is a gentle exfoliation treatment that removes dead skin cells and peach fuzz, enhancing your skin tone. This treatment also improves product absorption. Alternative treatments that can achieve similar results include chemical peels, microdermabrasion, facials, microneedling, and laser skin resurfacing. Your skin care provider will help recommend the best option based on your skin concerns and goals.

Are there any risks of dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning is very safe when performed by trained professionals. However, mild redness or temporary sensitivity may occur after treatment.
