Rating: 4.9 (142 reviews)

Dermaplaning is a unique treatment for ridding the skin of its fine vellus hairs (peach fuzz) and dead skin cells in order to produce a smoother, more radiant, and inviting complexion. An ultra-fine surgical blade is used to gently exfoliate the outermost skin layer, revealing a luminous new aesthetic.

Dermaplaning

Thanks to its non-invasiveness and lack of harsh chemicals or laser heat, dermaplaning is appropriate for almost everyone, including pregnant women. It can quickly and easily remove dirt, debris, and oil, jumpstarting your self-confidence and preparing you for an important social or professional event.

What is Dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning is an innovative skin rejuvenation technique performed by our knowledgeable and caring providers at Face Forward Medical Aesthetics in Lexington, MA. It involves the gentle removal with a surgical blade of fine vellus hairs, dirt, debris, dead skin cells, and oil from the pores. After dermaplaning, the skin appears more youthful, refreshed, and bright. Acne scarring is reduced as well.

How Does it Work?

Dermaplaning must be performed by a skilled and experienced professional, such as can be found at our practice in Lexington, MA. During treatment, a surgical blade glides across the skin’s surface with light, feathery strokes, manually removing fine hairs, scar tissue, and dead skin cells.

Damage from environmental toxins, the sun, and the wind is combated, and deep cellular healing is initiated. Over time, new collagen growth will occur, further reducing the signs of aging such as wrinkles, lines, creases, and folds. After the treatment, your skin is moisturized and sealed with a layer of protective medical-grade sunscreen.

What Can I Expect From the Procedure?

While most patients do not find dermaplaning painful, some may feel a tingling sensation. Your provider may use a topical anesthetic (numbing cream) on your skin and give you an oral sedative to ensure your complete comfort during your session. Once your skin has been properly prepared, the dermaplaning device will be applied to the skin at a 45-degree angle. Treatment takes around 20 minutes.
