Dermaplaning Facial: Everything You Need to Know

Your skin is a canvas, and like any masterpiece, it needs to be properly prepped before applying skincare products or makeup. Whether you're a makeup enthusiast or prefer a more natural look, dermaplaning is a fantastic way to achieve smooth, glowing skin.

At UDB Skin Clinic, we’re passionate about helping our clients get the best results for their skin. Dermaplaning is one of our go-to treatments for delivering that smooth, luminous canvas everyone craves. Here’s everything you need to know about dermaplaning, how it works, and why it could be the perfect addition to your skincare regimen.

What is Dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning is a simple, pain-free exfoliation method that effectively removes peach fuzz (vellus hair), dead skin cells, dirt, and oils from your face. Using a sterile surgical scalpel, your skin therapist gently removes the top layer of dead skin and fine hair to reveal smooth, fresh skin underneath.

It’s not just a skincare treatment – it’s also an absolute must if you want to take your makeup application to the next level. Unlike other exfoliation methods like chemical peels or microdermabrasion, dermaplaning is gentle and has no downtime, making it ideal for those with sensitive skin.

The Benefits of Dermaplaning

1. Instantly Smoother Skin
   Dermaplaning leaves your face incredibly soft and smooth by removing dead skin cells. This enhanced smoothness allows makeup to glide on effortlessly, giving you that flawless finish.
2. A Radiant, Glowing Complexion
   By eliminating dead skin and peach fuzz, dermaplaning instantly brightens your skin, giving it a healthy glow. It’s one of the fastest ways to refresh your complexion and reveal a more youthful, vibrant look.
3. Deeper Product Penetration
   After dermaplaning, your skin is more receptive to serums, moisturizers, and other skincare products. Without the barrier of dead skin, products can penetrate deeper, making them more effective.
4. Safe for All Skin Types
   Dermaplaning is gentle enough for nearly all skin types, including those with sensitive skin or conditions like rosacea. It’s also a great alternative for people who can’t tolerate more abrasive exfoliation methods.
5. Minimizes the Appearance of Fine Lines and Wrinkles
   By promoting cell turnover and removing dead skin, dermaplaning can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles over time, contributing to a smoother, more youthful complexion.

Who is Dermaplaning For?

Dermaplaning is ideal for anyone who wants to:

• Achieve smoother, more radiant skin
• Reduce the appearance of fine lines and dullness
• Improve product absorption for better results
• Create a flawless canvas for makeup application

Who Should Avoid Dermaplaning?

While dermaplaning is suitable for most skin types, it’s not recommended for those with active acne. The treatment may irritate inflamed skin or spread bacteria, potentially worsening breakouts. If you have any skin concerns, it’s always best to consult with one of our experts at UDB Skin Clinic to determine if dermaplaning is the right option for you.

What to Expect During a Dermaplaning Treatment

A typical dermaplaning session at UDB Skin Clinic takes about 30-45 minutes. Here’s what you can expect:

1. Cleansing:
   We start by thoroughly cleansing your skin to remove any makeup, dirt, or oils.
2. The Treatment:
   Using a sterile scalpel, your skin therapist gently glides over your face to remove dead skin cells and peach fuzz. The process is painless, and most clients compare it to a light brushing sensation.
3. Post-Treatment Care:
   After your treatment, your skin may look slightly flushed due to increased blood flow, but this will fade within a few hours. We’ll apply hydrating serums and SPF to protect and nourish your skin post-treatment.

How Often Should You Get Dermaplaning?

For optimal results, we recommend scheduling dermaplaning treatments every 4-6 weeks. Regular treatments help keep your skin looking fresh, smooth, and vibrant.

Myths About Dermaplaning

There are a few common myths about dermaplaning that we’d like to clear up:

• Myth 1: Dermaplaning Will Make Your Hair Grow Back Thicker
  This is a widespread myth, but it’s simply not true. The hair removed during dermaplaning is fine vellus hair, which grows back at the same colour and thickness as before.
• Myth 2: Dermaplaning is Painful
  Dermaplaning is completely painless. Most clients find it relaxing, and the sensation is often compared to the gentle brushing of a feather.
• Myth 3: Dermaplaning is Only for Women
  While it’s popular with women, men can also benefit from dermaplaning. It’s an excellent treatment for anyone looking to improve their skin texture and radiance.
