Dermaplaning in Chicago, IL
What is dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is a non-invasive exfoliating treatment that uses a sterile surgical scalpel to gently scrape off the top layer of dead skin cells and fine vellus hair, commonly known as peach fuzz. This treatment reveals a smoother, brighter complexion and allows for better absorption of skincare products.
How does dermaplaning work?
During a dermaplaning session, a trained professional at BRB Aesthetics Central uses a specialized scalpel to carefully remove the outermost layer of dead skin cells and fine hair from the face. The procedure is painless on clean, dry skin, with no downtime required.
What can I expect during a dermaplaning treatment?
Your skin will be thoroughly cleansed before the treatment begins. The professional will then gently use the scalpel to exfoliate the skin in a precise, controlled manner. The procedure typically takes about 30-45 minutes. You may experience some mild redness immediately after the treatment, but this usually subsides quickly.
What are the benefits of dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning offers several benefits, including:
- Immediate results: Smoother, brighter skin can be seen immediately after treatment.
- Improved product absorption: Skincare products penetrate more deeply and effectively.
- Safe for most skin types: Suitable for almost all skin types except those with active acne or severe sensitivity.
- Non-invasive: No needles or chemicals are used, making it a gentle option for exfoliation.
Are there any side effects of dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is generally safe with minimal side effects. Some individuals may experience slight redness or sensitivity immediately after the treatment, but these effects are temporary. It’s important to follow any aftercare instructions provided by your specialist to ensure optimal results.
