Do you want satin smooth skin and no peach fuzz?
Dermaplaning is a manual, non-invasive exfoliating treatment that provides an alternative to chemical peels or microdermabrasion.
The treatment starts with your aesthetician cleansing the skin with a gentle cleanser. After cleansing the next step will be to degrease the skin with an AHA acid or another degreasing agent. This will dry the skin so the dermaplaning procedure can be performed. Your aesthetician will hold the skin taught and use a surgical #10 blade to gently scrape the dead skin cells and fine vellus hair away. After the dermaplaning procedure is finished moisturizer and sunscreen is applied. Your skin will feel AMAZING and will have a radiant glow!
You can have this procedure done as is, or as a complete facial depending on your goal. The aesthetician may add on a chemical peel or other products as well, depending on skin type, condition or treatment plan.
Dermaplaning is a good choice for anyone who has fine facial hair (vellus hair/peach fuzz), extremely sensitive skin, redness or rosacea, or visible facial veins.
Dermaplaning improves the appearance of acne scarred skin and smoothes out fine lines and wrinkles.
It is also an excellent treatment for melasma and environmentally damaged skin.
*If you can't wax due to allergies or medication contraindications dermaplaning is a great alternative!
*Facial hair does not grow back darker and thicker, but returns slowly and becomes sparser with each treatment.
Dermaplaning is recommended for patients who want a non-surgical, non-invasive, affordable skin rejuvenation treatment, with a focus on quick treatment sessions, no recovery time, and no major side effects.

I thought this procedure was not in an estheticians scope of practice?? Is it done by a physician at your office?
ReplyDeleteDear Anonymous,
ReplyDeleteIf you are a trained Medical Aesthetician working under or with a doctor in a medical office they may be allowed to perform dermaplaning (this may vary from state to state). Now dermaplaning has many different names and some people call this practice dermaplaning, dermablading ext. The detail in this service is removing the facial hair. With this being said you cannot have this service performed by an esthetician at a spa or salon. I mean a cosmetologist can perform facials and their education is geared mostly on hair and they only have minimal hours in learning skin care you wouldn't want an inexperienced person working on your skin, with that being said always ask for credentials and experience before having anyone performing services on you. This is important! Medical Aesthetician's working under doctor supervision may be able to perform this service but it is decided by State Law under the Medical Board. This is where the line is ..An esthetician is governed by the Cosmetology Board per that state and thats where their license comes from. The state board of cosmetology can come in to any salon & spa. Now most states when you work with or under a doctor then you have to follow the Medical Board in that state. Bottom line is this, you always want to have someone who is very well trained in the services they provide! I can only speak for myself when I say... I go above and beyond in my education. I have spent thousands of dollars on classes, continuing education certificate hours (most of the time more than my state requires you to have), I have multiple certifications in a wide range of products and procedures. I keep my license up with the NC State Board Of Cosmetology but I have to follow the NC Medical Board because I am in a Medical Office. It's confusing sometimes but I just follow the rules and take care of my patients with great care. Hope this answered your question.
