Dermaplaning is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure for your skin. Your healthcare provider uses a special instrument to shave away the uppermost layers of your skin. The procedure of dermaplaning is an exfoliation process on the skin, and uses a surgical steel scalpel (dermaplaning tool) to lightly scrape the surface of the skin as the technician holds it tight and close. To remove hair and skin cells, the tool is held at a 45 degree angle and brushed along the skin.
Dermaplaning can help reduce the appearance of acne scars or other skin imperfections by revealing newer, undamaged skin. It can make your skin look younger; though, it doesn’t stop the aging process. Some people also get dermaplaning for hair removal. This is only a temporary fix because your hair will grow back.
