I'm a 32-year-old hispanic woman, and I have a little sun damage, fine lines, and some skin discoloration. My dermatologist recommends Dermaplaning, but I'm not sure if the procedure is safe for me. Will it work for my skin type? I'd like to learn more about it.
Answer: Dermaplaning is safe on all skin types
Since you are not removing deeper layers of skin, anyone can enjoy dermaplaning without side effects. This is a great option for those of you with darker skin types wanting to erase sun damage. Skin products such as hydroquinone and/or a strong percentage of vitamin C serum is recommended to enhance and speed up results in between dermaplaning treats that can be done once a month. You will be able to see a noticeable difference even after just one treatment.

Answer: Dermaplaning is safe for any Skin Type Yes, dermaplaning is safe for women with tan or olive skin color. Sun avoidance and daily use of an SPF is recommended after any type of exfoliation treatment though to reduce the risk of hyperpigmentation.

Answer: Dermaplaning in a dark complected individual If performed judiciously and by an experienced individual, dermaplaning should not have any effect on a darkly complected individual. Similarly, microdermabrasion should have few complications if performed properly. I would advise caution with chemical peels, conventional dermabrasion or laser. Of course, in any case be cautious hormonal supplements, avoid sun exposure, and minimize/prevent inlfammatory conditions.

Answer: The ideal candidate for dermaplaning
Dermaplaning is a technique where the outer layers of skin are exfoliated with the use of a blade. Dermaplaning is an effective way to resurface the skin. However, care must be taken to remain only the superficial layer of the skin. When the blade enters the deeper layers of the dermis you can expect small areas of pinpoint bleeding. For this reason, dermaplaning should be done by a physician or under direct physician supervision.

Answer: Dermaplaning is safe for any skin type Dermaplaning is safe for any skin type. Deeper treatments by laser or peels should be avoided by some patients with darker complexions. Sunscreen is mandatory to help avoid pigmentation problems after any exfoliating treatment. The patients in my office have had extremely rewarding results with dermaplaning and is a favorite treatment of my wife and daughter alike. Best regards!
