Have you been scrolling social media, looking for treatments or new skincare products, hoping to find something that improves your skin? Then there are chances that you would have come across this magical term called ‘‘dermaplaning.’’

Now imagine you are planning on taking a vacation or have a party to attend, and you want your skin to glow and your face to give that  ‘’no makeup makeup look’’ vibes. If you think that you're asking too much, then we’d say no. Why? Because a dermaplaning session can give you exactly what you want. Too good to be true?

Dermaplaning is a professional exfoliation treatment that uses a sterile surgical blade to gently remove dead skin cells and fine facial hair, also known as "peach fuzz." By clearing away this surface layer, dermaplaning reveals a fresher, more vibrant layer of skin, giving you a noticeably brighter complexion. At Vurve Aesthetics, we perform this treatment with precision and care, ensuring that each session leaves your skin feeling rejuvenated and exceptionally smooth.

Now that you know what dermaplaning means, the next question would be why it is done, does it have any benefits, and whether or not it's a treatment you should try. Read further, to get answers to all your questions.

How Does Dermaplaning at Vurve Aesthetics Work?

Dermaplaning is a simple, effective, and painless way to remove facial hair and exfoliate the skin. 

Here’s how it works,

The procedure is simple, the first step in dermaplaning is cleansing your skin. If you’re wearing makeup then we might go for double cleansing. The cleansing process ensures that all your makeup, oil, and dirt are removed from the skin. 

After cleansing, your skin will be examined. We will then use an oil such as argan or jojoba oil all over the face to allow the blade to glide smoothly. A sterile scalpel will be used to gently glide along your skin at a 45-degree angle to remove the facial hair and dead skin cells.

After the treatment, a warm towel will be placed on your face to remove any excess hair. Then, we end the treatment by applying a serum for hydration, followed by a moisturizer and a sunscreen.

The Benefits of Dermaplaning at Vurve Aesthetics

Dermaplaning has several benefits which is why it is a favorite among celebrities and supermodels. Some of these benefits include:

• It is non-invasive and safe

Dermaplaning is a non-invasive beauty procedure which makes it completely safe. It won’t cause any pain or discomfort. Also, this treatment doesn’t involve the use of any harsh chemicals. 

• Smoother skin in an instant

This treatment promises instant results. Just after the first session, you will notice that your skin has become smoother and brighter. 

• No more peach fuzz

The facial hair can store a lot of dirt which with time can trigger acne. With dermaplaning you can now say goodbye to those fine facial hair. 

• Instant removal of dead skin cells

If you feel like you have dull skin despite using the best products, the reason could be dead skin cells. In dermaplaning, these dead skin cells are removed by exfoliation, which gives you youthful-looking skin. 

• Better absorption of products

There is no point in using expensive skincare products if they aren’t absorbed by the skin properly. But, dermaplaning solves this issue too. Since the process involves removing the buildup of dead skin cells, dirt, oil, and facial hair, your skin can now absorb and get the maximum benefits from your serums, oils, and moisturizers.

• A smooth canvas for makeup

We all love flawless-looking makeup, right? Well, a dermaplaning session can help you achieve that look. Dermaplaning helps in getting rid of clumps of dead skin cells or fibres that would come between your fresh skin and makeup. Hence, when you apply makeup, it will absorb well, and go on smoothly. 

 

Is Dermaplaning Right for You?

Dermaplaning is suitable for most skin types, especially those looking for a gentle yet effective exfoliation method. If you’re dealing with dullness, or uneven texture, or want a smoother makeup application, dermaplaning might be perfect for you. However, if you have active acne or certain skin conditions, a consultation with our experts can help determine the best treatment options

Duration of the Process and Results

A dermaplaning session may take around 30 minutes to an hour depending on how much area is covered during the session. 

Soon after the dermaplaning session, you will notice that your skin has become bright, glowing, and radiant. Since the treatment has removed all the facial hair and dead skin cells, your skin will be smooth with an even skin tone, giving you a youthful glow. 

 

Do’s and Don’ts Post-treatment 

Now that you know about all the great benefits that come with dermaplaning, there are a few dos and don’ts to keep in mind after getting the treatment.

The Do’s:

⇨ After the treatment, follow a simple skincare routine at least for two weeks. Use products that will hydrate, moisturize, and nourish your skin. 
 
⇨ Use a hydrating toner or serum or even a facial oil daily to hydrate and nourish your skin. Always use an SPF according to your skin type before stepping out. 

⇨ Don’t forget to drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated.

The Don'ts:

⇨ Dermaplaning is an exfoliating skin treatment, hence you should avoid using any other exfoliants such as facial scrubs, deep exfoliating peels, abrasive cleansers, washcloths, or even any other treatment such as microdermabrasion facial.

⇨ Avoid using skincare products with acids such as retinol, and glycolic acid. Using these ingredients can lead to redness, dryness, and irritation.

⇨ Avoid using hot water for showers or to cleanse your face. You should also avoid vigorous exercises, direct sun exposure, steam rooms, and saunas for at least two weeks after the treatment.
