Dermaplane with Peel
Dermaplaning is a popular skincare treatment that involves the use of a surgical scalpel to exfoliate and remove dead skin cells and vellus hair (also known as “peach fuzz”) from the surface of the skin. Dermaplaning with a peel combines the dermaplaning procedure with a chemical peel, which involves the application of a solution to the skin to remove the outermost layers and promote skin rejuvenation.
What is dermaplaning with peel?
Dermaplaning with a peel combines the exfoliation benefits of dermaplaning with the additional benefits of a chemical peel. After the dermaplaning procedure, a chemical peel solution is applied to the skin. The chemical peel contains specific ingredients, such as acids or enzymes, that further exfoliate the skin and penetrate deeper into the layers. The chemical peel enhances the overall effectiveness of the treatment by targeting specific skin concerns like acne, hyperpigmentation, fine lines, or uneven skin tone. It can provide more significant results by addressing deeper skin issues that dermaplaning alone may not fully treat.
Deeper Exfoliation
The chemical peel applied after dermaplaning provides an additional level of exfoliation, targeting deeper layers of the skin and addressing specific concerns such as acne, hyperpigmentation, or uneven skin tone.
Skin Rejuvenation
The combination of dermaplaning and a chemical peel can stimulate collagen production, promoting skin rejuvenation and improving overall skin texture.
Targeted Treatment
The chemical peel can be customized to address specific skin concerns, allowing for a more targeted and comprehensive approach to skincare.
Frequently asked questions
How does dermaplane with peel work?
Dermaplaning works by manually exfoliating the skin and removing the superficial layer of dead skin cells and vellus hair. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of the process:
- Preparation
- Scalpel Technique
- Instant Results
- Collagen Stimulation
When combined with a chemical peel, the dermaplaning process is typically performed first, followed by the application of the chemical peel solution. The chemical peel solution may contain various acids or enzymes that further exfoliate and penetrate deeper into the skin to address specific skin concerns, such as acne, hyperpigmentation, or uneven skin tone. The combination of dermaplaning and a chemical peel can enhance the overall effectiveness of both treatments, leaving the skin rejuvenated, radiant, and smoother.
Is dermaplaning safe for all skin types?
Dermaplaning is generally safe for most skin types, including sensitive skin. However, it is recommended to consult with a skincare professional to assess your specific skin condition and determine if dermaplaning is suitable for you.
Is there any downtime after dermaplaning?
There is typically no downtime after dermaplaning. You may experience some temporary redness, which usually subsides within a few hours. It is important to follow post-treatment instructions provided by your esthetician or dermatologist for optimal results.
Can I undergo dermaplaning if I have active acne or breakouts?
Dermaplaning can be performed on skin with active acne; however, it is not recommended to perform the procedure directly on active acne lesions. Your skincare professional will determine the best approach to avoid aggravating the acne and provide guidance on how to address it.
Are there any side effects of a chemical peel after dermaplaning?
While chemical peels are generally safe, some individuals may experience temporary redness, mild flaking, or peeling of the skin following a peel. It is crucial to follow post-peel instructions provided by your skincare professional to ensure proper healing and minimize any potential side effects.
What is the benefit of combining dermaplaning with a peel?
Combining dermaplaning with a peel provides enhanced exfoliation and deeper penetration of the peel solution. This combination can yield more significant results in addressing specific skin concerns such as acne, hyperpigmentation, fine lines, or uneven skin tone.
Will the chemical peel solution used in the treatment cause discomfort or pain?
The chemical peel solution may cause a mild tingling or stinging sensation during the application, which is normal. However, the discomfort is usually temporary and well-tolerated by most individuals. Your skincare professional will monitor your comfort levels throughout the procedure.
How long is the downtime after dermaplaning with a peel?
The downtime can vary depending on the intensity of the peel used and your individual skin’s reaction. You may experience some redness, flaking, or peeling of the skin for a few days to a week. It is crucial to follow post-treatment instructions provided by your skincare professional to support proper healing and maximize results.
How many dermaplaning with peel sessions are needed to see results?
The number of sessions needed will depend on your specific skin concerns and goals. Generally, a series of treatments is recommended to achieve optimal results. Your skincare professional will assess your skin and create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs.
