How Dermaplaning Benefits Your Skin

By removing dead skin cells and fine hairs, this facial treatment gives you instant results. Dermaplaning can improve your skin by:

  • Smoothing skin texture
  • Stimulating cell turnover faster than at-home skincare
  • Treating hyperpigmentation
  • Easing application of makeup and ensuring longer-lasting wear
  • Reducing fine lines and wrinkles
  • Preventing breakouts by removing bacteria buildup

Dermaplaning FAQs

  • While every face has unique skincare needs, our skincare professionals typically recommend booking dermaplaning treatments every 4 weeks with your regularly booked facial.

  • Dermaplaning is generally considered safe for most skin types. It is a non-invasive exfoliating treatment that removes dead skin cells and fine facial hair (vellus hair) using a sterile surgical scalpel. However, there are certain skin conditions and types for which dermaplaning may not be suitable:

    1. Active acne: Dermaplaning over acne can cause irritation and may lead to further breakouts.
    2. Very sensitive skin: People with extremely sensitive skin may experience irritation or redness after the treatment.
    3. Skin conditions like rosacea, eczema, or psoriasis: These conditions can be aggravated by dermaplaning.

    It is essential to consult with a professional esthetician or dermatologist before undergoing a dermaplaning treatment, as they can assess your skin and determine if it is suitable for your specific skin type and concerns.

  • At Silver Mirror, dermaplaning is offered exclusively as an add-on and can be combined with any facial. The dermaplaning process takes an additional 30 minutes. However, due to high demand for facial appointments at Silver Mirror, we strongly recommend booking dermaplaning during your initial scheduling process. This ensures we can accommodate the service, especially if another guest is booked immediately after your appointment.

  • You can expect to see results from dermaplaning immediately after the treatment. Since the procedure involves gently removing the top layer of dead skin cells and fine facial hair, your skin will appear smoother, brighter, and more even-toned right away. The treatment also allows for better absorption of skincare products, so your skin may feel more hydrated and nourished following the procedure.

    While the immediate results are noticeable, it’s essential to maintain a consistent skincare routine and protect your skin from the sun, as the newly exfoliated skin can be more sensitive to UV rays. To maintain the results and keep your skin looking its best, dermaplaning is typically recommended every 4, depending on your skin type and individual needs. Always consult with a professional esthetician or dermatologist for personalized advice on the frequency of treatments.
