Your Ultimate Guide to Dermaplaning

Your Ultimate Guide to Dermaplaning

Dermaplaning is an excellent way to even out skin tone, enhance a dull complexion, and remove unwanted peach fuzz. This treatment is also a quick fix to restoring your skin's youthful glow with zero downtime.

At Orange Coast Dermatology, with locations in Rancho Santa Margarita, Orange, and Mission Viejo, California, our providers are highly experienced. They’ll evaluate your skin to determine if dermaplaning is the right option for you. 

Read on to learn why Orange Coast Dermatology clients love dermaplaning, and we think you will, too.

An overview of dermaplaning

Dermaplaning is a technique in which a licensed medical aesthetician uses a scalpel to gently exfoliate the surface layer of facial skin, removing fine hair. This results in brighter, more even skin.

They carefully remove skin cells and peach fuzz from your entire face during treatment. After the procedure, they apply a soothing serum to lock in moisture and reduce any redness or irritation, plus everybody’s favorite sunscreen, EltaMD UV Clear Broad-Spectrum SPF 46

Skin conditions dermaplaning can address

Dermaplaning effectively removes unwanted facial hair and exfoliates dead skin cells that can make your skin appear dull. It’s also an excellent option for addressing:

Nearly everyone is a good candidate for this simple treatment. However, to be considered for dermaplaning, your skin needs to be free of infections or chronic conditions such as eczema or psoriasis.

Our providers may also not recommend dermaplaning if you have many skin tags, moles, or other skin growths. Instead, they might suggest other services, like facials or microneedling, to rejuvenate your skin.

The perfect pairing

Enjoy dermaplaning on its own, or pair your treatment with a rejuvenating HydraFacial or chemical peel for the ultimate refresh. Both duos are among our clients' favorite combos. 

The patented HydraFacial extracts impurities while simultaneously delivering to the skin cleansing, hydrating, and moisturizing serums. The treatment won’t irritate your skin, plus it’s soothing, refreshing, and instantly effective.

A chemical peel can correct congested skin, reduce the appearance of enlarged pores, decrease fine lines, and brighten the complexion.

Start your fall refreshed

Fall means cooler temperatures and lower humidity, which can lead to increased dryness and sensitivity. Plus, the sun-soaked days of summer can cause hyperpigmentation and fine lines. 

For those reasons, a dermaplaning and HydraFacial or chemical peel combo is the perfect fall pick-me-up.
