SCOPE OF PRACTICE
Dermaplaning is a form of manual exfoliation similar in theory to microdermabrasion but without the use of suction or abrasive crystals. An esthetician grade, sterile blade is stroked along the skin at an angle to gently “shave off” dead skin cells from the epidermis. Dermaplaning also temporarily removes the fine vellus hair of the face, leaving a very smooth surface. As with any type of exfoliation, the removal of dead skin cells allows home care products to be more effective, reduces the appearance of fine lines, evens skin tone and assists in reducing milia, closed and open comedones, and minor breakouts associated with congested pores. Due to the contours of the face, certain areas of the face (such as the eyelids and nose) are not treatable using this method. A thorough skin analysis prior to your first dermaplaning will be completed. If dermaplaning is not appropriate, you will be informed during this session and an alternative treatment may be recommended instead. If dermaplaning is not contraindicated, maximum results are obtained by participating in a series of treatments plus following a home care regimen.
The procedure
- Dermaplaning doesn’t require general anesthesia, but we might put a numbing cream or spray on your face about half an hour before the procedure.
- You might feel a scratching or stinging sensation on your skin, but dermaplaning usually isn’t painful.
- The treatment can last anywhere from a few minutes to an hour and a half. The length of the procedure depends on the size of the area that needs treatment.
- Afterward, your service provider will apply a soothing gel or ointment to your skin to reduce redness, swelling or irritation.
DERMAPLANING INFORMED CONSENT POSSIBLE RISKS AND SIDE EFFECTS
Dermaplaning is generally considered a safe cosmetic procedure. However, it does carry the following risks:
Redness, peeling and swelling
Your skin might be red, swollen and slightly tender after the dermaplaning procedure. You may also experience some peeling.
Scarring
Rarely, a dermaplaning cause scarring. If you develop a scar, antibiotics and steroid medications can be used to soften the appearance of these scars.
Changes in skin color
Another possible side effect is a patchy skin pigment in the area where you have the procedure, which may decrease or disappear as time goes on.
Infection Although rare, dermaplaning can lead to a bacterial, fungal or viral infection, such as a flare-up of the herpes virus - the virus that causes cold sores.

WHAT TO DO:
- Wash your face twice daily with a gentle cleanser approved by your practitioner. Use your hands only, no rubbing and pat dry.

- Use SPF +30 every day even if you're not exposing your face to sunlight.

- Don't wash your face in hot water. Cool or lukewarm water only.
