Dermaplaning in Salinas, CA

Dull, rough skin making your complexion look tired? Everyday exposure to the elements can lead to buildup on the skin’s surface, making it harder for your skin care products to work effectively. Dermaplaning in Salinas, CA, at a reputable practice like Revitalessence Medical Spa & Laser Center can help you get the more radiant, smoother skin you deserve.

What Is Dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning is designed to exfoliate the skin of the face. A scalpel is used to gently scrape off the skin cells’ top layer. It is a buildup of the normal dead skin cells that make up the outer layer of skin (stratum corneum). A thin layer of these cells is necessary as a normal barrier to the skin surface, but the buildup of too many of these cells can lead to a dull, dry look. Removing this layer can freshen the look of your skin, giving a brighter and smoother complexion.

The other reason to undergo dermaplaning is to remove the thin, wispy hair, or “peach fuzz.” This hair can make the application of makeup more uneven. Removing this hair and the excess dead skin cells will make your skin much smoother and softer.

Should you do this or Diamond Glow? The answer is that you could benefit from both.

The suction from the Diamond Glow exfoliates and removes dead cells, and it can also clean out clogged pores. However, Diamond Glow will not remove fine hair growth. Only dermaplaning can do that.

Who Can Benefit from Dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning is ideal for most skin types, especially to improve skin texture, reduce fine lines, or enhance product absorption. It’s an excellent option for those seeking a non-invasive way to refresh their appearance. However, consulting with skin care professionals like our practitioners here at Revitalessence Medical Spa and Laser Center is recommended if you have active acne, eczema, or psoriasis.

The Dermaplaning Treatment Process

During the treatment, your aesthetician will use a sterilized surgical scalpel to scrape away dead skin and fine hair. The treatment is painless and takes about 30 minutes. There’s no need for recovery time, so you can immediately return to your routine.

Results and Aftercare

After your session, your skin will feel smoother and look more radiant. With dead skin removed, your skincare products can absorb more effectively. Regular sunscreen is essential to protect your fresh new complexion, as it will be more sensitive to sun exposure.

Advantages of Dermaplaning

• It painlessly exfoliates the stratum corneum to stimulate cellular turnover with little to no downtime.
• It is a great option for clients with sensitive skin and pregnant women looking for a deep exfoliation treatment.
• It can be performed before treatments like facials, laser procedures, microdermabrasion, and chemical peels for better product penetration.
• It can be performed frequently.
• It helps makeup go on smoother and more evenly.
• It can help significantly lighten postinflammatory scars from past acne.
• It does not make the hair grow back thicker and darker.
