Dermaplaning/Epidermal Leveling

Dermaplaning, or epidermal leveling, is an effective skin exfoliation procedure for both men and women of all skin tones. It is performed with a blade to remove the uppermost layers of the epidermis, resulting in a smooth, glowing appearance. Dermaplaning removes vellous hairs (peach fuzz), uneven pigmentation, fine line wrinkles, and can be enhanced with a facial infusion with hydroquinone (to lighten skin), hyaluronic acid (to moisturize and plump the skin), or acne treatment with Osmosis acne powder blend.

What Is Dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning is a skin resurfacing procedure performed with a sterile blade that exfoliates the cornified dead layer of skin cells and fine hairs. It is sometimes referred to as epidermal leveling or microplanning.

Is Dermaplaning Safe?

Dermaplaning is safe when performed by a trained aesthetic professional. It is similar to shaving, but instead of a razor it is done with a special type of scalpel blade. The cleaned skin is held taut with the blade angled at 45-degrees to the skin. To avoid the risk of nicks or cuts, people should not try to perform this procedure at home.

Does Dermaplaning Work?

Dermaplaning is a highly effective mechanical exfoliation procedure. Removing the dead skin cells and “peach fuzz” allows newer skin cells to come to the surface, resulting in smoother, brighter skin.

Is Dermaplaning Good For Your Skin?

Resurfacing the skin and removing the superficial layer of dead cells is good for your skin. It stimulates new skin cells to develop and promotes healthy skin. People who have dry or flaky skin, fine lines, large pores, and signs of sun damage see an immediate improvement in their skin texture and appearance.

How Long Does Dermaplaning Last?

The turnover time of a single skin cycle is about 6 weeks. If dermaplaning is repeated at regular intervals, the improvement in skin health and appearance can last through several skin cycles.
