What Is Dermaplaning?

A dermaplane facial is a non-surgical skin treatment that uses a surgical blade to slough off dead skin cells and remove the fine baby hairs from your face and neck gently and safely.

What Are the Benefits of Dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning is generally considered a safe cosmetic procedure.

Here are the pros and cons:

Pros

Dermaplaning can help minimize the appearance of

Acne scars
Fine lines
Wrinkles
Dull skin
Sagging skin

Additional benefits include

Renewed complexion
Deeper product penetration for serums and creams
Smoother makeup application
Removal of dead skin cells and peach fuzz

Cons

Dermaplaning, as with any medical procedure, does carry some risk. However, when done correctly, side effects are rare. Here are some possible side effects

Mild redness immediately following the procedure
Temporary sensitivity to sun exposure
Skin discoloration
Increased risk of infection
Scarring (e.g., keloid or hypertrophic)

Is Dermaplaning Safe?

Yes! Dermaplaning is safe for most people, with little risk of side effects when performed by a certified aesthetic consultant. Though most people do not experience side effects, this treatment may irritate some skin conditions. Be sure to consult with a dermatologist first if you have

Acne
Rosacea
Very sensitive skin
Active cold sores
Eczema
Psoriasis

It is non-surgical, so there is no downtime for recovery, and it can be completed in about 30 minutes.

How Often Should You Dermaplane?

This treatment is considered a more intensive form of exfoliation because it removes the outermost layer of skin, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Our certified aesthetic consultants recommend dermaplaning at our clinic in Knoxville, TN once every 3-4 weeks for ideal results.

How Long Does Dermaplaning Last?

It is important to note that dermaplane facial results are temporary. Depending on how quickly your skin and hair regrow, treatments can last up to 4 weeks.

Four weeks is the average time it takes the skin to complete a rejuvenation cycle. Monthly treatments allow your skin to resurface between sessions.

In some cases, however, we may recommend more or less frequent visits based on an individual’s skin type and unique needs.

Schedule a free consultation to discover if dermaplaning is right for you, how often you might need it, and what (if any) other cosmetic treatments in Knoxville may be interested in.

What Are Common Dermaplaning Aftercare Instructions?

Following your monthly treatment, it is important to understand your skin will be sensitive and vulnerable. Personalized aftercare instructions may vary, but here are our general post-treatment guidelines

Avoid direct sun exposure for at least three days
Avoid extreme heat for at least three days (including hot tubs, saunas, Bikram (hot) yoga, etc.)
Avoid scrubs, microbeads, and other exfoliators for at least one week
Avoid chlorine for one week
Apply a hyaluronic acid serum daily
Apply a breathable moisturizer daily
Use daily broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher)
