How Many Dermaplaning Sessions Are Required to See the Results?

Dermaplaning is an agressive method of exfoliating which is a permanent ongoing process. Typically, you will benefit from a course of 3-6 treatments over the short term. Long term, you will need to maintain. Otherwise, its kind of similar to asking how many times do you need to trim your lawn to get the desired results. Your skin is constantly growing.

After one dermaplane session you will see immediate results! During the session your esthetician is removing dead skin cell build up and peach fuzz on the surface of the skin. You will immediately notice smoother, brighter, and more even-toned skin. Any skincare products will absorb deeper in the skin and makeup application looks flawless!

Dermaplaning is an easy procedure where dead skin is removed from the epidermis, as well as vellus hair. Skin appears smoother, lessening the appearance of acne scarring, any sun damage or hyperpigmentation and fine lines and wrinkles. Dermaplaning may be done as a stand alone treatment or to enhance another facial treatment, such as a brightening peel. Most patients love this for their monthly facial, as it yields soft skin and a beautiful glow. 

As with any exfoliation treatment, the best results of dermaplaning will be achieved after a series of treatments. Typically a series includes 6 treatments but many patients feel they begin to see positive changes in their skin within 2-3 treatments.

Thank you for your question. Dermaplaning is a method of exfoliation that consists of using a scalpel blade to gently scrape off the top layer of dulling dead skin cells in order to reveal a smoother, brighter complexion. This treatment also removes vellus hair otherwise known as peach fuzz. Results from this treatment can be seen immediately. This treatment is typically ongoing as peach fuzz grows back and dead skin reoccurs. It can be done about every 4 - 6 weeks. Consult with an experienced medical aesthetician in your area. Good luck!

Dermaplaning removes peach fuzz in
addition to exfoliating.
The primary difference between dermaplaning and dermabrasion is that
dermaplaning can remove the fine vellus hair known as peach fuzz in addition to
sloughing away rough, dulling surface skin cells. While both procedures
exfoliate, dermaplaning exfoliation occurs at a much deeper level yet doesn’t
require any harsh abrasives. The smooth surface that follows a dermaplaning
session is perfectly primed for further skin rejuvenation treatments like facials,
chemical peels or even laser resurfacing. Because dermaplaning requires a
skilled hand, it’s essential to only visit a board certified plastic surgeon
for this treatment.

Dermaplaning is an effective technique where the outer layers of skin are removed with the use of the blade. Dermaplaning should remain only in the superficial layers of the skin. This is essentially a very aggressive exfoliation. Patients will immediately notice smoother skin and the removal of some of the fine hairs on the skin. Patients can continue to benefit from the smoothing of the skin through multiple sessions of this technique. However, to address deeper wrinkles that are based in the dermis other techniques are more beneficial.

Dermaplaning is an on-going treatment and most clients come on a regular monthly basis for treatments.  It is a popular treatment for all skin types and has no downtime.  It is a very good way to maintain a healthy glow to your skin and not have any reactive areas that need additional healing needs.  It is often combined with a chemical peel to give the client a better change in the outer layer of their skin.  Most clients see and feel a difference in their facial skin within a few days.  The cost is very reasonable and many clients some on their lunchtime for treatments and can return with very little redness to the skin.
