Dermaplaning at Mor Clinic

What is Dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning is a highly effective, non-invasive skin treatment designed to exfoliate your skin and remove dead skin cells and fine vellus hair (commonly known as peach fuzz). Using a sterile surgical scalpel, our skilled aestheticians gently scrape the surface of your skin, leaving it smoother, brighter, and more radiant. This precision technique enhances your skin’s texture and promotes a healthier, more youthful appearance.

Benefits of Dermaplaning

– Exfoliation: Removes dead skin cells to reveal fresher, smoother skin underneath.
– Improved Product Absorption: Allows skincare products to penetrate deeper and work more effectively.
– Smoother Makeup Application: Creates a flawless canvas for makeup, making it glide on more smoothly and evenly.
– Reduction of Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Stimulates cell turnover, which can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
– Immediate Results: Enjoy noticeable improvement in your skin’s texture and tone immediately after the treatment.

Contraindications

While dermaplaning is safe for most skin types, there are certain conditions that may make this treatment unsuitable for some individuals:

– Active Acne: If you have active, cystic acne, dermaplaning might exacerbate the condition.
– Rosacea: Those with rosacea or highly sensitive skin may experience increased redness or irritation.
– Skin Infections: Any skin infections or open wounds should be fully healed before undergoing dermaplaning.
– Inflamed Skin: Conditions like eczema or psoriasis should be managed and calmed before considering this treatment.

Our experienced team will conduct a thorough skin assessment to ensure that dermaplaning is the right choice for you.

Frequency of Dermaplaning

For optimal results, dermaplaning can be performed every 4-6 weeks. This allows enough time for your skin to regenerate and benefit fully from the treatment without causing undue stress or irritation. Regular sessions can maintain your skin’s smoothness, clarity, and youthful glow.

Frequently Asked Questions about Dermaplaning at MOR Clinic

1. What is dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is a non-invasive exfoliation treatment that removes dead skin cells and peach fuzz (fine vellus hair) from the surface of the face. Using a specialized surgical scalpel, your aesthetician gently scrapes away the outermost layer of skin, revealing a smoother, brighter complexion.

2. Is dermaplaning safe?
Yes, dermaplaning is a safe and effective treatment when performed by a trained professional. At MOR Clinic, we ensure that all our treatments are carried out with precision and care, using sterile, high-quality tools.

3. Does dermaplaning hurt?
Dermaplaning is a painless procedure. You may feel a slight tingling or scraping sensation as the scalpel moves across your skin, but it is not painful. Most clients find the treatment to be comfortable and relaxing.

4. How long does a dermaplaning session take?
A typical dermaplaning session lasts about 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the area being treated. The procedure is quick and requires no downtime, so it’s perfect for those with busy schedules.

5. What are the benefits of dermaplaning?

  • Smoother Skin: Removes dead skin cells and peach fuzz, leaving your skin feeling soft and smooth.
  • Improved Skin Texture: Promotes a brighter, more even complexion by revealing fresh skin.
  • Better Product Absorption: Allows skincare products to penetrate deeper, making them more effective.
  • Flawless Makeup Application: Creates a smooth canvas for makeup, allowing it to apply more evenly and last longer.

6. Are there any side effects?
Most people experience no side effects from dermaplaning. Occasionally, you might notice mild redness or sensitivity right after the procedure, but this typically subsides within a few hours. There’s no downtime, so you can return to your regular activities immediately.

7. How often should I have dermaplaning treatments?
For optimal results, dermaplaning is typically recommended every 4 to 6 weeks. This allows enough time for the skin to naturally regenerate, ensuring the treatment remains effective and safe.

8. Who is a good candidate for dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is suitable for most skin types and tones. It’s especially beneficial for those with dry, dull, or uneven skin texture, or for anyone looking to achieve smoother, more radiant skin. However, it’s not recommended for individuals with active acne or certain skin conditions like eczema or rosacea.

9. Can dermaplaning make hair grow back thicker?
No, dermaplaning does not cause the hair to grow back thicker or darker. The peach fuzz that is removed during treatment will grow back at its normal rate and texture. It is important to note that dermaplaning only removes vellus hair, not terminal hair.

10. Can I wear makeup after dermaplaning?
Yes, you can wear makeup after dermaplaning. In fact, many clients find that makeup applies more smoothly and evenly due to the smoother surface created by the treatment. However, we recommend waiting a few hours to allow your skin to fully settle after the procedure.

11. Is there any downtime after dermaplaning?
No, there is no downtime after dermaplaning. You can resume normal activities immediately following the treatment. However, it is important to avoid direct sun exposure for at least 24 hours and use sunscreen to protect your newly revealed skin.

12. How do I maintain my results after dermaplaning?
To maintain your results, continue with a good skincare routine, including regular exfoliation, moisturization, and the use of sunscreen. We also recommend scheduling follow-up treatments to keep your skin looking radiant and smooth.

Contraindications for Dermaplaning

While dermaplaning is a safe and effective treatment for most people, it may not be suitable for individuals with certain conditions. Contraindications include:

  1. Active Acne: Dermaplaning is not recommended for individuals with active, inflamed acne, as it could aggravate the condition and cause further irritation.
  2. Rosacea: People with rosacea, especially in the active stages, should avoid dermaplaning as the exfoliation can cause irritation and flare-ups.
  3. Eczema or Psoriasis: If you have eczema or psoriasis, particularly in areas being treated, dermaplaning can exacerbate the condition and lead to irritation or breakouts.
  4. Severe Sunburn: Dermaplaning should be avoided if your skin is sunburned or severely irritated, as it may further damage sensitive skin.
  5. Cold Sores: If you are experiencing a cold sore outbreak (herpes simplex virus), dermaplaning should be postponed until the infection has healed.
  6. Recent Chemical Peels or Laser Treatments: It is recommended to wait until your skin has fully recovered from any aggressive skin treatments, such as chemical peels or laser resurfacing, before undergoing dermaplaning.
  7. Broken Skin or Wounds: If you have open cuts, wounds, or any active skin conditions (e.g., eczema, psoriasis) on the areas to be treated, dermaplaning should not be performed.
  8. Very Sensitive Skin: People with excessively sensitive skin or who are prone to irritation may need to avoid dermaplaning or consult with a dermatologist beforehand.
