All About Dermaplaning & Why You Should Do It!

Dermaplaning is a manual exfoliation technique conducted by a trained medical skincare specialist like those at  Lotus Skin Care Center and Medi-Spa located at 5368 Merrick road, Massapequa, NY,  516.798.0200; http://www.lotuslasertreatments.com,  that safely and efficiently removes surface debris with a Dermaplaning blade, and primes the skin for the chemical peeling solution. There are many benefits of Dermaplaning, including a refreshed and refined look to the skin. Dermaplaning removes vellous facial hair (which absorbs oil, dirt, and environmental toxins) as well as surface dead skin cells. It increases the skin’s ability to absorb product, stimulates circulation of blood and lymph flow, and increases the skin’s immune response and vitality. Dermaplaning also enhances the natural shedding process of the skin, softens the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, minimizes the appearance of pores, improves elasticity and texture, and reduces hyperpigmentation creating a more even skin tone.

Common concerns or fears about Dermaplaning include pain, being accidentally cut, and facial hair growing back courser. Rest assured that none of these are points to be concerned about! Dermaplaning is not painful; it is actually very relaxing and soothing! While it is possible that you experience a nick from the blade, estheticians must be professionally trained and certified in this treatment. Cuts are extremely rare and personally, none of Lotus Skin Care Center and Medi-Spa located at 5368 Merrick road, Massapequa, NY,  516.798.0200; http://www.lotuslasertreatments.com, clients have experienced a nick during Dermaplaning. Should an accidental nick occur, it is not likely to hurt and would heal very quickly. Dermaplaning does not make facial hair grow back courser. The purpose of your fine vellous hair is to regulate skin temperature. It will not grow back thicker, darker, or more course. This is a great procedure for those wanting to remove lighter-colored facial hair or “peach fuzz,” which doesn’t respond to laser treatment. Vellous hair is different than typical body hair, and it will grow back just the same. Growth of the hair on the chin and lip is regulated by hormone production and by nature is generally thicker. Dermaplaning does not directly affect the thickness of this hair because most women lack the required amount of testosterone to grow hair in that manner.

While Dermaplaning is amazing on its own, it is also known to be used in conjunction with chemical peels.
