Dermaplaning is a cosmetic procedure that involves shaving away the top layers of the skin using a scalpel or razor. It is a minimally invasive procedure that can help reduce the appearance of acne scars, pitted skin, and peach fuzz, revealing newer, undamaged skin. Here are some details about dermaplaning:
Positive aspects:
- Can help reduce the appearance of acne scars, pitted skin, and peach fuzz
- Can make the skin look smoother, brighter, and more youthful
- Can help prevent future breakouts by removing the buildup of dead skin and excess skin oils from the surface of pores
- Can be used for any skin type and anyone with acne scars, dull skin, dry skin, sun-damaged skin, and fine wrinkles
- Can be done anywhere on the body
Negative aspects:
- Dermaplaning is a cosmetic procedure and is not covered by insurance
- It is a temporary fix for hair removal because hair will grow back
- Dermaplaning shouldnt be done on active breakouts
- Dermaplaning can potentially clog pores if oils are used during the procedure
Ingredients or materials:
- Dermaplaning uses a scalpel (knife) or razor to remove skin
- Professional scalpels are sharper than those for home use
- Dermaplaning oils may potentially clog pores and interfere with the ability to remove all peach fuzz
It is important to note that dermaplaning is a cosmetic procedure that should be done by a trained professional. While there are at-home dermaplaning kits available, it is recommended to have the procedure done by a dermatologist or licensed aesthetician to avoid injury or complications.
