Dermaplaning

Achieve smoother, more even skin with no “peach fuzz.”

What is Dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning is a non-invasive exfoliation treatment designed to remove dead skin cells and fine vellus hair, often referred to as “peach fuzz,” from the surface of the skin. This procedure leaves your skin feeling smoother and looking more radiant while enhancing the effectiveness of skincare products. Dermaplaning is an excellent option for those looking to achieve a fresh, rejuvenated appearance without any downtime.

At Winter Park Plastic Surgery and Laser Center, dermaplaning is performed by skilled professionals in a comfortable and safe environment. It’s a great way to prepare your skin for other treatments, such as facials or chemical peels, and is suitable for most skin types.

Dermaplaning involves using a sterile surgical scalpel to gently scrape away dead skin cells and fine hair from the skin’s surface. During the procedure, your provider will hold the skin taut and use light, feathering strokes to exfoliate. This precise method ensures a thorough yet gentle treatment that promotes healthy skin turnover.

The process typically takes about 30 to 45 minutes and is entirely pain-free. It’s a relaxing treatment that provides immediate results, making it ideal for a quick skin refresh before a special event or as part of a regular skincare routine.

Dermaplaning is suitable for most skin types and tones, particularly for individuals looking to:

• Minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
• Improve skin texture and tone
• Remove unwanted facial hair without waxing or threading
• Enhance the absorption of skincare products
• Achieve a smoother makeup application

However, dermaplaning may not be suitable for individuals with active acne, rosacea, or other inflammatory skin conditions. If you have a history of keloid scarring or are currently using certain prescription medications, consult with your provider to determine if dermaplaning is right for you.

Immediately after your dermaplaning treatment, you’ll notice:

• Smoother, softer skin
• A brighter, more even complexion
• Reduced appearance of fine lines and minor imperfections
• Better performance of your skincare products
• Flawless makeup application

These results can last for several weeks, depending on your skin’s natural cell turnover rate. For ongoing benefits, many patients schedule dermaplaning treatments every 4 to 6 weeks.

Dermaplaning is a safe and gentle procedure with minimal side effects. After treatment, you may experience slight redness or sensitivity, similar to a mild sunburn, which usually resolves within a few hours. Your skin may also feel slightly tight or dry, so it’s important to keep it well-hydrated and use a high-quality moisturizer.

To protect your freshly exfoliated skin, always apply sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher, as your skin will be more sensitive to the sun following treatment. Avoid using harsh exfoliants or active ingredients like retinol for a few days post-procedure to allow your skin to heal fully.
