A common question from callers to our offices at Maine Laser Skin Care is: Do you offer Dermaplaning? There has been a great deal of information out there in the popular media about Dermaplaning prompting these phone calls, and the answer is yes!
To those who don’t follow aesthetic trends, let’s start with a definition. Dermaplaning is a type of exfoliation where a sharp blade is used to physically remove the outer layer of dead skin cells and the vellous hairs (i.e. “peach fuzz”).
Many people cringe when they think of a sharp blade or a scalpel being used on their skin, especially on the face. However, when Dermaplaning is performed by a licensed and expertly trained aesthetician here at Maine Laser Skin Care, you are safe and in good hands.
There are some home versions of Dermaplaning devices that can be bought online or in beauty stores. However, as you might expect, there are numerous reports of people injuring themselves and developing localized infections when they have tried these instruments on themselves.
An aesthetician who is performing Dermaplaning will use the appropriate blade and technique, which can lead to a deeper exfoliation. A properly-performed Dermaplaning treatment can lead to smoother skin, which can last for 2-4 weeks.
One of the many nice features of Dermaplaning is that it is quick to perform for the expert aesthetician, painless for the client, and immediately leads to a great result. Women notice that makeup goes on smoother and looks better for longer.
Our aestheticians at both of our offices in Augusta and Scarborough perform Dermaplaning regularly. If you haven’t experienced this treatment, it is easy to schedule and you will enjoy the process and the results.
