What is Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is a type of skin exfoliation that removes dirt, oils, dead skin cells, and vellus hair (peach fuzz) from your skin. The treatment not only makes your skin softer and brighter, but also helps your skin care products penetrate better, and makeup goes on silky smooth.
By utilizing a surgical-grade blade with a meticulous technique, dermaplaning gently refurbishes the skin surface. It reveals a smoother, brighter complexion without inflicting pain or necessitating downtime, allowing an immediate return to daily activities with a rejuvenated glow.
Dermaplaning offers multiple aesthetic benefits, catalyzing and rejuvenating your complexion. It’s a straightforward and non-invasive procedure that can pave the way to your most radiant skin yet, inviting a fresher, cleaner canvas and enhancing the effectiveness of your beauty regimen.
Why Should I Consider Dermaplaning?
Oils, dirt, and dead cells on the surface of your skin are the genesis for acne. The debris also creates a barrier for other aesthetic treatments, such as chemical peels, that make these options less effective. The vellus hair can trap the debris on the surface. Dermaplaning allows your products to penetrate the skin.
By removing these impurities and fine hairs through dermaplaning, your skin gains a luminous and smooth texture and enhances the efficacy of skincare treatments. This exfoliation method ensures that your investment in skin health yields maximum results, facilitating a clearer, more vibrant complexion.

What Are the Benefits of Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is a highly beneficial skincare procedure that offers many advantages. It enhances skin regeneration, exfoliating dull and lifeless skin cells, and boosting overall radiance. A notable advantage of dermaplaning is its ability to facilitate a seamless and perfect makeup application by exfoliating fine facial hair and dead skin to achieve a silky, uniform canvas. Additionally, it is safe and compatible with all skin types, even those with sensitive skin.
Combining Dermaplaning with Other Treatments
Combining dermaplaning with additional treatments such as chemical peels or microdermabrasion can enhance the effectiveness of both treatments, yielding even greater skincare outcomes.

What Happens During a Dermaplaning Treatment?

This prevents any injuries to the skin while removing the dead skin, vellus hairs, and oils. The tool is slowly drawn across the skin. The sensation of a dermaplaning treatment is like a mild scratching, and you may also feel the cool sensation of the dermaplaning tool.

After the treatment, your skin feels very smooth and soft. It may also feel a little sensitive for a few hours. We can recommend skin care products to soothe your skin, as some products may sting for the first day.
How Long Do the Results of a Dermaplaning Treatment Last?
We recommend that you wait about four weeks in between your dermaplaning treatments. You can use at-home exfoliation products between your treatments to keep your skin healthy and refreshed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can Dermaplaning cause my hair to grow back thicker or darker?
Clinical studies confirm that the belief that hair grows back thicker or darker after dermaplaning is a misconception; this procedure does not increase hair growth density or change color.
How often can I get Dermaplaning treatments?
To achieve the best outcomes, it’s generally recommended that patients schedule a dermaplaning session once a month. This is because the skin naturally regenerates its cells on a monthly cycle. Monthly treatments help in shedding the dead skin cells and promoting the regeneration of fresh cells, unveiling vibrant and healthy skin.
Is Dermaplaning painful?
While undergoing treatment, it’s common to feel a mild sensation akin to scratching; however, you should not feel any pain or discomfort.
Is there any downtime or recovery period after Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning offers the convenience of zero downtime, allowing you to return to your routine immediately post-treatment. While temporary redness may occur for some individuals, it typically fades away within a few hours.
How do I prepare my skin for a Dermaplaning treatment?
Before your dermaplaning session:
- Cease all forms of exfoliation, manual or chemical, 3 to 5 days before your treatment.
- Discontinue using retinol products, exfoliating agents, enzyme treatments, face polishes, or scrubbing products.
- Avoid direct sunlight 5 to 7 days preceding your appointment.
- If you’re experiencing open sores or active acne breakouts, we advise you to postpone your appointment until your skin has fully healed.
Dermaplaning is a type of manual exfoliation that can be part of your routine skin care. If you are considering dermaplaning treatments in O’Fallon, Belleville, Shiloh, or the surrounding areas of Illinois, contact Pure 111 Medical Aesthetics to schedule a consultation.
