Say Goodbye to Fuzz, & Hello to Smooth Skin
Dermace Laser Clinic offers a medical-grade solution to eliminate dead skin cells and vellus hair (peach fuzz) from the surface of the skin. It is an effective, safe, and painless procedure delivering instant results - removing approximately 2-3 weeks' worth of dead skin cells.
The Science Behind Dermaplaning
Dermaplaning is a cosmetic procedure that involves the use of a surgical scalpel or razor to exfoliate the skin and remove fine facial hair (vellus hair). While the procedure is relatively simple, the science behind how it works is more complex.
Here are the basic steps of the dermaplaning process:
-
Preparation: The skin is cleansed and prepared with a gentle exfoliating cleanser to remove any dirt, oil, or makeup. The patient may be given a topical numbing cream to reduce discomfort during the procedure.
-
Treatment: The aesthetician or dermatologist uses a surgical scalpel or razor to gently scrape the skin, removing dead skin cells and fine facial hair. The blade is held at a 45-degree angle and moved across the skin in short, swift strokes.
-
Aftercare: After the procedure, the skin may be pinkish and slightly irritated. The patient should avoid sun exposure and apply a moisturizer to soothe the skin.
