Dermaplaning
Dermaplaning is an advanced exfoliation technique that uses a 10-gauge scalpel to gently remove the top layer of dull, dead skin cells, revealing a smoother, brighter complexion.
Who Should Consider Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is suitable for all skin types, except those with active acne. If you have deep cystic acne, it is advisable to wait until breakouts have cleared before undergoing this treatment. Additionally, it's important to discuss any allergies or skin sensitivities with your skincare professional prior to treatment.
Benefits of Dermaplaning include
(but not limited to):
- Enhances the absorption of topical skincare products
- Instantly reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
- Prepares the skin for treatments like chemical peels, dermal rolling, or vampire facials
- Promotes a healthier, more radiant complexion
Wavelength-Specific Benefits include (but not limited to):
- Red Light: Stimulates collagen production, reducing fine lines and wrinkles while mildly tightening the skin. Its anti-inflammatory properties make it ideal for treating rosacea, psoriasis, and eczema.
- Blue Light: Effective in treating acne by reducing bacteria and calming inflamed skin.
- Yellow Light: Targets surface-level concerns such as sun damage, redness, and visible blood vessels.
- Green Light: Although less commonly used, green light may accelerate wound healing.
What to Expect During an LED Light Therapy Session
A typical LED light therapy session lasts between 30 to 60 minutes. During the treatment, your provider will expose your skin to LED light using a freestanding lamp or a full-face mask. The procedure is painless and often described as pleasant and relaxing. While there is no downtime, your skin may appear slightly flushed for a few hours post-treatment.
