How Long Does Dermaplaning Last?

Dead, dull layers of skin, pore-clogging debris, and fine “peach fuzz” hairs can leave your skin looking rough and uneven. Dermaplaning removes these outer layers to reveal healthy new ones beneath. This non-invasive treatment uses no lasers or needles, making it one of the most comfortable types of skin resurfacing. Many people make dermaplaning a regular part of their skincare routine. 

What is Dermaplaning for Skin Resurfacing?

Dermaplaning is a simple but skill-intensive process. Your El Paso Cosmetic Surgery provider will use a sterile blade at a 45-degree angle to gently strip away dead and damaged skin layers without harming the underlying ones. This treatment effectively strips away debris, peach fuzz, and skin-dulling dead cells to provide a soft, glowing surface. It also prepares your skin to enjoy more benefits from your skincare routine. 

How Long Does Dermaplaning Last?

Your skin continually renews itself from the deep layers upward. New skin cells produced in the dermis are gradually pushed to the surface, where they become the protective outer epidermis. As new cells continue to rise, these old cells can accumulate on the surface, making your skin look dull. We recommend dermaplaning treatments once a month to match the speed of your skin’s natural turnover process. 

Since each person’s skin is unique, dermaplaning may be performed more or less often. If you want to see more significant changes in textural issues in less time, you can have sessions more frequently. This non-invasive treatment can become a convenient part of your routine. 

What Does Dermaplaning Treat?

Dermaplaning offers a range of benefits and practically no negative effects. It is often recommended to address:

• Peach fuzz
• Dullness
• Textural issues
• Fine lines
• Acne scars
• Sun damage

Dermaplaning can also help control acne breakouts by keeping your skin clear of pore-obstructing debris, oils, and dead skin cells. Monthly treatments will keep your skin even and smooth and prepare it to receive maximum benefit from a medical-grade skincare routine.  

Is There Any Downtime After Dermaplaning?

You can return to your usual activities immediately after your dermaplaning appointment. While there is no downtime, for a short time, your skin may look mildly pink and feel more sensitive than usual. Avoid sun exposure right after treatment, and wear sunscreen consistently to protect your fresh new skin. 

Am I a Good Candidate for Dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning uses no light or heat energy and is safe for every skin type and tone. Men and women across a wide range of age groups enjoy dermaplaning to get rid of peach fuzz, improve makeup application, and smooth uneven skin texture. Good candidates are healthy and have reasonable expectations.
