Dermaplaning Specialist in Edgewater NJ

Dermaplaning is the process of having a healthcare professional use a specialized scalpel-like tool that has been sterilized to shave away the dead skin cells and the top layer of your skin to reduce the appearance of acne scars and other imperfections in the skin as well as any facial hair or peach fuzz that you might have. It is considered a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure and is completely painless.

The blade from the dermaplaning treatment acts as an exfoliator to scrape off the dead skin cells and peach fuzz from the face to reveal skin that looks more radiant and youthful. It is often preferred over harsh exfoliators that commonly are too abrasive for sensitive facial skin, or chemical exfoliators that can cause reactions in those with skin sensitivity. It is also considered better for removing facial hair than shaving, as it has a longer-lasting effect, goes a bit deeper than a standard razor to remove more of the dead skin cells that have built up, does not cause ingrown hairs, and does not cause razor bumps.

Many people will experience an abundance of benefits after a dermaplaning treatment, which includes the removal of facial hair and peach fuzz, as well as exfoliation to remove dead skin cells. After the treatment, your skin will feel and look rejuvenated and incredibly soft. Dermaplaning has also been known to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and minimize the appearance of pores on the face as cleaning them out will make them look much smaller. For those who have suffered from acne in the past, dermaplaning can also reduce the appearance of acne scars but is not recommended for those with active breakouts. With such a smooth complexion, many people report that after the treatment their makeup goes on more easily and appears much smoother on the face. It has also been shown to make the skin care regimen actually more effective as the super clear pores and lack of hair will make the products absorb into the skin much more easily.

While it is an option to dermaplane your own skin at home, it is much safer to book an appointment with a medical professional to ensure that the proper tools and methods are used. Being cut with the blade is a possibility, but is much less likely to happen if you are letting a professional do it for you. As well, the dermaplaning experience is a relaxing treatment, so having the treatment done by an aesthetician will ensure that it is a gentle and enjoyable procedure.

There is no recovery time associated with dermaplaning, but clients can expect to experience slight temporary redness at the site of the procedure.

Almost everyone can be considered a could candidate to receive the dermaplaning treatment, including those with incredibly sensitive skin or rosacea. It is a service available for all skin types, ages, and gender, and is able to make the time for the procedure! However, candidates with any open wounds or lesions, or active pustular acne on their face should not receive the treatment as it can be too hard on the skin or can further produce acne scars. It is also not recommended for those suffering from skin cancer, uncontrolled diabetes, or who have received a chemical peel treatment in the last 4 to 6 weeks as it could irritate the skin, or lead to post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
