Not to be overly dramatic… but we at The Philadelphia Medspa simply ADORE this treatment…
For those that have never heard of a Dermaplaning skin care treatment, allow me to elaborate. Dermaplaning is not so much a new skin care treatment per se, in fact it's been around for YEARS technically. But as with many skin care protocols, products, and techniques, there always seems to be a "resurgence" so to speak of some of these wonderfully effective practices. With the addition of new aesthetic tools, additional techniques, and pre and post care products, Dermaplaning is still one of the most effective topical exfoliation treatments performed in offices around the world!
I know, I still haven't gotten down to the details of WHAT DERMAPLANING ACTUALLY IS , RIGHT ?
Well, simply put, Dermaplaning is basically a procedure where a trained professional uses a surgically sterile blade resembling a scalpel to gently but methodically remove the uppermost top layer of the skin on the face using feather-like strokes. Using a non-invasive angle to the blade and not even breaking the skin, the blade is gently moved across the face in slow, gentle, contouring directions. This allows the practitioner to physically remove all of the dead, clogged skin cells that contribute to that dull, sallow, ruddy complexion many of us are plagued with.
And one of the best parts????? Dermaplaning removes all of the "Face Fuzz" many of us experience as well. That fine, baby-like peach fuzz that we see on our cheeks, chins, upper lips, jawlines, even our necks, is simply whisked off with the gentle flick of the Dermablade.
Whats left behind? THE smoothest, hair-free skin you have EVER felt on your own face, THAT'S WHAT!
This fantastic treatment deeply exfoliates, removes excess vellus hair from face, chin and neck, but that's not everything…
Dermaplaning also helps to aid in product absorption and efficacy during treatment, and home-care product absorption and effectiveness as well. 
So, that expensive brightening cream, anti-wrinkle serum, or silky night-time moisturizer you've been using or want to try, will have an easier time penetrating the top layers of your skin, thus giving you much better results! Not to mention how such more smoothly your makeup will go on. So if you've been wanting to try that new primer, foundation, or illuminating powder, DO IT! Right after a Dermaplane treatment is the perfect time to revisit some of your favorite makeup products…you'll be amazed at how smooth your face and skin will look and feel.
This is also a PERFECT facial treatment for pregnant women who cannot partake in chemical peels or laser treatments. Many clients try Dermaplaning while pregnant, fall in love with its instant after-effects, and continue loyally well after child birth because they love the result so much.

Several other common additions many skin care professionals will add to the treatment to further enhance the exfoliation process and create unbelievably refreshed skin, is a light chemical peel or microdermabrasion. These treatment combinations simply further perpetuate that deep exfoliation and penetration process.
Now, I know what some of you are thinking, "WHAT ????? A CHEMICAL PEEL RIGHT AFTER THE REMOVAL OF THE TOP LAYER OF MY SKIN"???
It's OK, don't panic, it's actually a VERY comfortable treatment and the strength of the chemical peel is ideally suited for your skin type.
So, let's answer some common questions associated with this FABULOUS Treatment…
Q: Is there pain involved in this treatment?
A: No, and in fact, most people find it extremely relaxing!
Q: What will I look like after? Will there be any downtime?
A: If just receiving the Dermaplaning treatment by itself with no chemical peel immediately following, you will have little or NO after effects at all! Some more sensitive skin types may occasionally experience just a little pink or redness for several hours following the treatment, but clients generally comment on how they can apply makeup right away and go about their day!
Hows THAT for no downtime?
Q: Am I a candidate for Dermaplaning?
A: For the majority of clients looking to renew and refresh their skin, most commonly over the age of 35, of any skin color…..YES! The only skin type not recommended for this type of treatment would be actively acneic skin. If a client only has a few active spots, the professional would just avoid those spots. But a larger, inflamed, actively broken-out area would need to be healed before a Dermaplaning treatment.
Q: How often are these treatments done?
A: The usual time frame between treatments is usually one month, as approximately every 21 days or so is usually when the skin and vellous hair starts to naturally turn over or grow.
Q: Will my hair grow back thicker and darker after the treatment?
A: Nope. The fine vellus hair most of us have on our faces grows back slowly and softly, at the same thickness and color we had before.
