Dermaplaning is a physical exfoliation procedure that removes up to 3 weeks of dead skin build-up. Dermatologists use a sterile, 10-gauge surgical scalpel to gently razor the skin’s surface. Dermanplaning removes the topmost layer of dead skin along with fine vellus hair.

Dermaplaning in Salt Lake City, Utah removes vellus hair that helps to your face of accumulated dirt and oil. Your skin is left cleaner and smoother. Whatever you do, do not take a scalpel to your face. You must have dermaplaning done by a professional in a licensed medspa. It only takes a few minutes in a medspa and doesn’t hurt. You could call it shaving for your skin, but instead of just your hair, it will take away dirt, fine lines, and wrinkles, and dark spots that are on the top layer of your skin.

Clients often ask these questions before undergoing dermaplaning in Salt Lake City, Utah.

How quickly will there be results?

Dermanplaning instantly razors away fine facial hair and improves skin text and tone. The results last over several months before you need to undergo the procedure once again.

Will my hair grow back darker and thicker?

You have heard the “Old-Wife’s Tale” that shaving will cause the hair on your face to grow back thicker and darker. However, “shaving” off vellus hairs (or peach fuzz) cannot grow back thicker or darker since these hairs are not attached to a blood supply.

Does Dermaplaning in Salt Lake City, Utah (or anywhere else) hurt?

Dermaplaning is an entirely painless process. It is as effective in getting rid of facial hair as waxing and threading and much less painful. Dermaplaning is a go-to treatment for acne scars. It lightens scars, is gentle on the skin, dermaplaning is the perfect scar treatment option for those with sensitive skin.

Can I use skin products immediately after dermaplaning?

Removing dead skin cells on the surface of your skin helps skin products penetration better. Dead skin cells block or limit the skin’s ability to absorb moisturizers and skincare products. After dermaplaning in Salt Lake City, UT, the skin’s absorption potential is increased.

Will those pesky fine lines be reduced?

Dermaplaning leaves skin looking more radiant and softer. After repeated procedures, the appearance of fine lines is reduced. Think of it this way, as the blade moves across your skin, it promotes increased blood flow to the face. It also increases the production of collagen. The increase in oxygen gives the skin a healthy glow, and the increase in collagen fills in lines.
