Dermaplaning
Dermaplaning is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure for your skin. Your healthcare provider uses a special instrument to shave away the uppermost layers of your skin.
Dermaplaning can help reduce the appearance of acne scars or other skin imperfections by revealing newer, undamaged skin. It can make your skin look younger; though, it doesn’t stop the aging process. Some people also get dermaplaning for hair removal. This is only a temporary fix because your hair will grow back.
Who gets Dermaplaning?
You may consider dermaplaning if you have skin concerns such as:
- Actinic keratosis (scaly skin patches that can lead to skin cancer).
- Dull or dry skin.
- Peach fuzz (light, soft hair on your face).
- Skin damaged by sun exposure.
- Fine lines (wrinkles).
