How Much Does Dermaplaning Cost?

Dermaplaning is a professional skincare treatment that we offer at our medspa. This procedure, performed by our certified aestheticians, includes carefully scraping off the top layer of dead skin cells and vellus hair using a medical knife commonly known as peach fuzz from the face. The aim is to reveal a brighter, smoother complexion, minimize the visibility of wrinkles and fine lines, enhance the absorption of skincare products, and create a flawless canvas for makeup application.

In contrast, shaving is a hair removal method that can be performed at home using a regular razor. It removes coarser hair from various parts of the body like the legs, underarms, and face. However, shaving does not offer the same level of exfoliation as dermaplaning and does not target dead skin cells.

While both dermaplaning and shaving remove hair from the skin’s surface and offer temporary hair removal, they differ in their techniques, effects, and suitability for different skin types. Dermaplaning is a professional procedure that provides immediate results with smoother, brighter skin while shaving offers less dramatic results.

After your dermaplaning session, you may notice immediate changes in your skin. Brighter, smoother skin can be achieved by eliminating dead skin cells and peach fuzz. It’s common to experience temporary redness and slight swelling like a moderate sunburn, and it should go away in a few hours to a day. On rare occasions, you may notice minor scabbing, but these micro-scabs should naturally disappear over a few days.

After treatment, the sun will cause your skin to become more sensitive, so we strongly recommend applying sunscreen diligently to protect your refreshed skin.

Dermaplaning offers long-term benefits. By stimulating collagen production, it can reduce the appearance of minor wrinkles. Additionally, the procedure allows for faster absorption and improved efficacy of skincare products. As the outermost layer of skin, your serums, moisturizers, and skincare treatments can penetrate more deeply, enhancing their effects.

Moreover, the smoother surface left by dermaplaning promotes seamless makeup application, minimizing visible pores and uneven texture. This results in a more refined look. And don’t worry, your facial hair will not grow back thicker or darker after dermaplaning. Its color, size, and growth rate are determined by genetics, not by the way it’s removed.

Your skin type, condition, and desired outcomes will all determine, the frequency of dermaplaning sessions may vary. For normal to dry skin, we recommend scheduling sessions every 4-6 weeks. It could be necessary to space out if your skin is sensitive, your sessions out to approximately every 8-12 weeks to avoid irritation. And for those with oily or acne-prone skin, sessions can be scheduled closer together, approximately every 2-4 weeks.

But it’s crucial to keep in mind that greater isn’t always better when it comes to dermaplaning. Over-exfoliation can lead to skin damage, dryness, and increased sensitivity, so it’s crucial to avoid overdoing it.

At Bare Body Shop, we adhere to the highest standards of safety and hygiene. We do not perform dermaplaning on active acne, open wounds, or sunburned skin, and always use a sterile scalpel to prevent infection.

During the consultation, we’ll assess your skin, discuss your skin concerns and goals, and develop a personalized treatment plan based on your individual needs.

To achieve the best results and avoid complications, it’s crucial to take care of your skin before and after the treatment.

Before your dermaplaning session, it’s recommended to prepare your skin. Cleanse it thoroughly with a mild cleanser to remove dirt, oil, or makeup. Light exfoliation will help get rid of dead skin cells and improve skin care products’ absorption. We also suggest applying a moisturizer to hydrate your skin and create a protective barrier during the dermaplaning procedure.

Please abstain from using harsh exfoliants, retinoids, or other active ingredients for at least three days before your appointment at our clinic. This ensures your skin isn’t overly sensitive or irritated before the treatment.

Sun protection is essential. Limit sun exposure for two to three days before your session; excessive sun can heighten your skin’s sensitivity, causing discomfort during the procedure and prolonging your recovery period. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or more to protect your skin from damaging UV radiation if you are unable to escape the sun.

After your dermaplaning session, your skin might appear slightly red and sensitive. Although this is typical, there are things you can do to help your skin recover and maximize the benefits of the treatment.

Cleanse your skin gently but thoroughly with a mild cleanser to remove any exfoliated debris or product residue. Apply a soothing, hydrating moisturizer to replenish your skin’s moisture barrier. You might also consider using a hydrating or anti-inflammatory mask to soothe any irritation or redness.

After dermaplaning, your skin will be more vulnerable to UV radiation, so keep protecting it from the sun. Wear a hat and sunscreen to protect your skin if you must go outside.

Wait at least a week before resuming your exfoliation routine, allowing your skin time to heal. During this period, continue using gentle skincare products to avoid irritation.

By adhering to these pre- and post-dermaplaning care tips, you can guarantee that your skin remains radiant and healthy while taking pleasure in the full benefits of your treatment at Bare Body Shop.
