Dermaplaning is a minimally invasive procedure that shaves away the top layers of your skin. It can help reduce the appearance of acne scars or pitted skin. Some people get dermaplaning to remove unwanted hair.
Overview
What is dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure for your skin. Your healthcare provider uses a special instrument to shave away the uppermost layers of your skin.
Dermaplaning can help reduce the appearance of acne scars or other skin imperfections by revealing newer, undamaged skin. It can make your skin look younger; though, it doesn’t stop the aging process. Some people also get dermaplaning for hair removal. This is only a temporary fix because your hair will grow back.
Most people get the procedure on their face, but you can do it anywhere on your body.

Procedure Details
What happens before dermaplaning?
A trained esthetician will perform dermaplaning. Before the procedure, your service provider will:
Discuss your goals for the procedure.
Examine your skin to make sure it’s healthy enough for the procedure.
Explain what you can expect before, during and after dermaplaning.
Review your health history.
Sometimes, your service provider will take photos of the area that needs treatment. The photos help you compare the “before” and “after” results of dermaplaning.
Your service provider will also let you know if there are any special instructions you need to follow before the procedure, such as not smoking for a few weeks. Not smoking may help you heal faster after the procedure.
