How Often Should You Dermaplane Your Face?

Is it really okay to shave your face and neck? For many years we have lived with the myth that women should not shave their faces lest the fine hairs grow in thicker. That’s not true. At Bella Tu Med Spa in Nyack, NJ, we know that a dermaplane facial will bring back your youthful glow!

Dermaplaning is not a daily cadence like male shaving. It’s something you space out in weeks and not days. Your hair does not grow back faster, darker, or thicker. Dermaplaning is a simple beauty therapy with many benefits.

What Is a Dermaplane Facial?

Dermaplaning is a non-invasive exfoliating treatment that removes layers of dead skin and peach fuzz with an exfoliating device. The purpose of a dermaplane facial treatment is to improve your skin’s texture and tone. This facial therapy causes your body to increase the skin’s collagen production, which helps diminish wrinkles and improve skin’s elasticity.

How Does Dermaplaning Work?

Dermaplaning is essentially shaving, except it is done with a special surgical stainless-steel blade. Shaving off the top layer where the dead skin cells, fine facial hairs, and debris reside exposes the newer, more radiant skin cells.

Benefits

No Downtime

Dermaplaning is a physical exfoliation therapy that requires no downtime. It is a painless, non-invasive treatment, allowing you to go back to your regular activities.

Great Option for All Skin Types

You can use this treatment on any skin types: even sensitive skin. It is safe for a pregnant woman, and it can be combined with other beauty treatments. Talk to your medical provider about other processes that work well with a dermaplane facial.

Better Absorption of Skin Care Products

This process increases the effectiveness of your skincare regimen. With the top layer removed, the skin can absorb products better.

An Anti-Aging Mechanism

The debris and hair removal from the dermaplaning itself automatically makes your skin smoother. Additionally, this professional exfoliation also triggers your body to increase collagen production, which helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Aids in Clearing Up and Preventing Acne

Since the treatment clears away the debris, it prevents your pores from clogging. If you suffer from acne, it will reduce your blemishes. Additionally, your skin will absorb acne treatments much better, which will speed up the healing process.

A Wonderful Primer

Dermaplaning serves as a primer for your makeup. It leaves your skin smooth, allowing your makeup to lay on your skin instead of appearing as if it’s a separate layer.

How Often Should You Dermaplane Your Face?

While your medical esthetician will help you determine how often you should undergo treatment, you should at least wait three or four weeks in between sessions. Dermaplane is a deep exfoliation, removing two or three weeks’ worth of dead skin. Give your skin time to resurface in between treatments.
