Introduction

Dermaplaning

Dermaplaning! It’s been a hot topic for about a couple of years now and it is an AMAZING service. If your skin’s not feeling so healthy, dewy, or glowy, or maybe you’re getting a little peach fuzz on the side of the face or across the lip, we just need it gone! Laser hair removal is not an option because the hairs themselves – they’re a little bit white, a little bit gray, maybe a little bit blonde and the laser’s not going to find them, so we turn to Dermaplaning!

Advanced Plastic Surgery strives to offer the best Grand Rapids Dermaplaning results in the area. To learn a little bit more about the procedure, please keep reading the information we have provided below!

What is Dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning is a treatment in which a scalpel is gently raked over the surface of one’s face to remove dry, dead skin layers and hairs. The scalpel is used at a low angle horizontal to the skin surface to eliminate the possibility of cuts. Dermaplaning is a wonderful service for not only exfoliating the lower layers of skin but also for removing hairs that cannot be targeted by lasers. Since lasers used for hair removal target pigmented hair shafts, white or blonde hairs on the cheeks and upper lip cannot be removed. With the precision of the scalpel, these villous hairs disappear. Our aesthetician will treat you to a skin consultation, hot towel application, and Dermaplaning treatment with custom skin-loving serums and moisturizers. This quick and pain-free service is great for almost all skin types. Dermaplaning is great to have done before a big event, and it prepares the skin for further treatments such as chemical peels, Microneedling Radiofrequency (RF), or lasers.

What to Expect on the Day of Dermaplaning

When you come in for your Dermaplaning, it will begin with your skin being cleansed using a micropolish, followed by the application of a numbing anesthetic to the treatment area. Next, a specialty scalpel is used to kick off any dry dead skin cells, get rid of vellus hairs (peach fuzz), and give you healthy, dewy skin. We use a couple of products after the procedure that will just make sure that your skin feels like it has been just submerged in moisture.

Dermaplaning Recovery

After your Dermaplaning, you will be able to return to your day, however, your face will be red and slightly swollen. You may even have a slight tingling or burning sensation, but this will subside. You can expect to have smoother, softer skin afterward and your makeup will apply easier as well!
