Can an expert explain more about the treatment called dermaplane?

Dermaplaning is an exfoliative technique that uses the edge of a scalpel moved at an angle superficially along the surface of the skin to smooth and exfoliate the surface and to remove fine hairs. While it is effective for exfoliation, I find dermaplaning, which I have personally been performing for years, to be especially effective as a second technique for blending the borders of a mole (birthmark, beauty mark, nevus) after it has been sculpted off flush with the surface. It also works well for the same purpose following the removal of heaped up age spots (seborrheic keratoses). Naturally, these procedures should only be performed by a board certified aesthetic physician experienced in these techniques.

 

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. 

Dermaplaning is used to exfoliate the epidermis as well as removing unwanted vellus hair. The process takes about 30 minutes and leaves the skin soft and smooth with few to no adverse effects.  A sterile disposable blade is used for each patient by a trained, certified provider.
