Reveal Your Bright, Vibrant Complexion With Dermaplaning in Austin

If you’ve noticed your skin looking dull and lackluster, it may be time to take your exfoliation routine to the next level. Fortunately, it might be quicker and easier than you think to get rid of that rough, dry outer layer of skin and reveal the smooth, radiant skin that lies beneath. At Austin Cosmetic Medspa, we offer a cutting-edge skin resurfacing treatment called dermaplaning that could be the perfect solution for your frustrating skin issues.

What Is Dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning is a quick, non-invasive skin resurfacing treatment that resembles a traditional straight-edge razor shave that one might receive at the barbershop. During the treatment, our experienced skin care specialists use a sterile scalpel to gently remove the outer layer of skin from the face, revealing the healthier, softer skin below the dead cells. Dermaplaning also thoroughly removes vellus hair (also known as peach fuzz), making the face feel incredibly smooth and supple.

Benefits of Dermaplaning

Dermaplaning is a simple yet effective treatment offering all of the following benefits:

  • A smoother, more radiant facial complexion
  • Removal of dead skin cells
  • Removal of vellus hairs
  • Stimulates cell turnover to create healthier, more youthful skin
  • Little to no recovery time
  • Increased absorption of skincare products
  • Improved self-confidence

What to Expect During Your Dermaplaning Treatment

Because of the non-invasive nature of dermaplaning, there is very little you need to do to prepare for your appointment, other than avoiding sunburn. Before the treatment, your provider will gently cleanse your face to make sure it’s free of dirt and oil. They will then hold the skin taut in sections while gently pulling the sterile dermaplaning scalpel across the area. We will continue this process in small sections until your entire face has been thoroughly treated.

Once the dermaplaning treatment is finished, you’ll be able to leave the clinic and head home immediately.

Dermaplaning Recovery and Aftercare

Our patients love dermaplaning because they can return to their usual activities immediately after the procedure. Some patients opt for a dermaplaning treatment right before a major event, as they find that makeup applies much more smoothly post-treatment, resulting in an enviable glow.

That said, you may experience some mild skin irritation after the treatment, and you’ll want to avoid direct sunlight for a few days. Additionally, it’s best to wait a day or two before engaging in strenuous exercise.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Dermaplaning?

Adults looking to achieve a brighter, more radiant facial complexion could be good candidates for dermaplaning. The treatment is very popular for individuals dealing with dull or dry facial skin. Dermaplaning is safe and effective for a wide range of skin types, and it’s also a safe treatment for pregnant women.

However, dermaplaning may not be right for you if you have any of the following:

  • Highly sensitive skin
  • Active or cystic acne
  • Rosacea
  • Keratosis pilaris
