Dermaplaning in North Dallas

Dermaplaning FAQ’s

• Is Dermaplaning painful?

  Dermaplaning is generally not painful. The procedure involves the use of a sterile surgical blade to exfoliate the skin's surface, targeting dead skin cells and fine vellus hair. Most individuals find it comfortable and painless.

  The sensation is often described as a gentle scraping or tickling feeling on the skin. Additionally, dermaplaning does not penetrate deep into the skin, making it a non-invasive and low-discomfort procedure. It is well-tolerated by many patients and offers the benefit of smoother, more radiant skin with minimal discomfort.

• How many appointments will I need?

  The number of dermaplaning appointments you'll need can vary depending on your skincare goals and the condition of your skin. Most individuals experience noticeable improvements in skin texture and tone after a single dermaplaning session.

  However, for optimal and long-lasting results, a series of treatments, typically spaced a few weeks apart, may be recommended. Your provider will assess your skin during the consultation and provide a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs.

• How long until I see results?

  You can typically expect to see immediate results after a Dermaplaning treatment. Your skin will appear smoother, brighter, and more radiant right after the procedure. This is because dermaplaning removes dead skin cells and vellus hair to reveal a fresh complexion.

  However, the full benefits of dermaplaning, including improved skin texture and tone, may become more noticeable after a few days as any post-treatment redness or sensitivity subsides. For long-lasting results, a series of treatments may be recommended to maintain your skin's newfound clarity and smoothness.

• Can I combine Dermaplaning with other procedures?

  Yes! Dermaplaning can be effectively combined with other skincare treatments and procedures to enhance and complement your results. Here are three recommended combinations:

  • Chemical Peel: Dermaplaning exfoliates the skin's surface, allowing a chemical peel to penetrate more effectively. This combination can address multiple skin concerns, such as fine lines, pigmentation, and texture irregularities, for a smoother and more youthful complexion.
  • Microneedling: Dermaplaning can prep the skin by removing dead cells and vellus hair. When followed by microneedling, the skin's ability to absorb serums and stimulate collagen production is enhanced. This duo is ideal for overall skin rejuvenation.
  • Hydrafacial: Dermaplaning can be a great prelude to a Hydrafacial treatment. It clears away debris and primes the skin, allowing the Hydrafacial to deeply cleanse, hydrate, and nourish the skin. This combination leaves your skin refreshed and radiant.

• What are the risks associated with Dermaplaning?

  While dermaplaning is generally considered safe, there are some potential risks and side effects to be aware of:

  • Redness and Sensitivity: Some individuals may experience temporary redness and skin sensitivity immediately after the procedure, which typically subsides within a few hours.
  • Minor Irritation: In rare cases, dermaplaning may cause minor irritation or a tingling sensation, which is usually short-lived.
  • Infection: As with any cosmetic procedure involving the skin, there is a minimal risk of infection. It's essential to ensure that the procedure is performed in a sterile environment by a trained professional to minimize this risk.
  • Unsuitable for Active Acne or Skin Conditions: Dermaplaning may not be suitable for individuals with active acne, certain skin conditions, or open wounds as it could exacerbate these issues.
