Steps involved in dermaplaning
Dermaplaning is a meticulous process that involves several key steps to ensure effective exfoliation and optimal results. Here is a step-by-step guide to the dermaplaning procedure.
Step 1: Consultation
A consultation is essential before the treatment. During this session, your skin type and concerns will be assessed to determine whether dermaplaning is suitable for you.
Step 2: Cleansing
The skin is thoroughly cleansed to remove any dirt, oil, and makeup. This step ensures a clean surface, allowing for better results and reducing the risk of infection.
Step 3: Skin Preparation
A gentle toner or antiseptic solution is applied to the skin to sanitise the area and prepare it for the procedure. This step helps prevent potential infections.
Step 4: Dermaplaning
Using a sterile surgical scalpel, the skincare professional gently scrapes the surface of the skin at a 45-degree angle. This process removes dead skin cells and fine vellus hair, revealing smoother, brighter skin underneath.
Step 5: Post-Treatment Soothing
After the dermaplaning process, a soothing toner or serum is applied to calm the skin and reduce any potential redness or irritation.
Step 6: Moisturisation
A hydrating moisturiser is applied to lock in moisture and keep the skin hydrated. This step is crucial for maintaining the skin's barrier and enhancing the post-treatment glow.
Step 7: Sun Protection
A broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 is applied to protect the newly exposed skin. Sun protection is vital to prevent UV damage and maintain the results of the treatment.
