Dermaplaning in Delray Beach

Dermaplaning involves using a medical scalpel to gently remove the dead skin cells on your face. Although this scalpel is sharp, don’t worry about cuts or abrasions. Not only is your provider a skilled member of the Delray Laser and Medical Spa team, but the blade itself is just as safe as a regular shaving razor.

In the process of getting rid of dead skin, your provider will also be removing your vellus hairs. These hairs are the soft, fine “peach fuzz” that grows on your face. Unlike the hair on your head and underarms, vellus hair does not grow back thicker or darker.

One of the main benefits of dermaplaning is that it helps address surface-level skin concerns like sun damage, fine lines, and dryness. After an appointment for dermaplaning in Delray Beach, you may find it easier to apply makeup and skincare products to your face. Without that dead skin and peach fuzz in the way, these products can absorb into your skin more effectively.

Anyone who wants to reduce signs of aging, scarring, or dryness is eligible for dermaplaning. You may be an ideal candidate for this treatment if you wish to address the following:

• Sun damage
• Rosacea
• Acne scarring
• Fine lines
• Wrinkles
• Rough skin texture

While dermaplaning is safe for all skin types and tones, having an active acne breakout may disqualify you from receiving treatment. Undergoing treatment during a breakout can cause your acne to spread further. As the scalpel glides over your skin, it can move the bacteria that cause acne to other areas of the face.

Absolutely! In fact, we encourage it! Dermaplaning gets rid of the layer of dead skin cells blocking your pores. This makes it easier for your skin to absorb products like skincare serums and liquid foundation. However, it also allows your skin to better absorb the chemicals used by our aestheticians.

A chemical peel can become much more effective after a visit for dermaplaning in Delray Beach. Since a peel needs to sink deep into your skin, removing that topmost layer and the tiny hairs within it can help the chemicals penetrate your tissues. The same goes for certain facials involving topical formulas.

By combining multiple treatments, you can combat signs of aging on multiple fronts. Dermaplaning is a great first step that helps boost the results of your appointments.

When it comes to preparation, the most you will need to do is steer clear of a few things in the days leading up to your visit. The first is that you must avoid being exposed to the sun for at least 2 weeks before your treatment. Wear sunscreen if you must go outside. Second, do not exfoliate for 3 days prior to your appointment. Finally, be sure to alert your provider about whether or not you have ongoing acne problems. Acne can spread across the face with treatments like this.

After you finish your dermaplaning in Delray Beach, you can return to your day as normal. However, we do have a few recommendations to help you optimize your results. Continue to avoid sun exposure, as this can lead to sensitivity. Use only gentle facial cleansers to avoid irritation. Your provider may have additional instructions for you to follow that we highly suggest listening to.
