Health Benefits And Risks Of Dermaplaning

Reduces Appearance Of Fine Lines

Dermaplaning also reduces the appearance of fine lines. The procedure leaves the skin looking more radiant and feeling softer and after repeated procedures, the appearance of fine lines is significantly reduced. As the blade scrapes across the skin, it promotes an increase in blood flow to the face as well as increases the production of collagen. The increase in oxygen aids in the skin exhibiting a healthy glow, while the increase in collagen fills in lines and dimples making the skin appear smoother. The procedure also promotes cellular reproduction, which helps the skin on the face tighten over time.

Results Are Not As Long-Lasting

One of the pitfalls of dermaplaning is that the results aren't as long-lasting. Unlike waxing and epilation, which remove hair from the root, dermaplaning is similar to shaving as it removes hair only from the skin's surface. As the hair begins to grow back, product absorption becomes inhibited, and the skin appears less smooth and even toned. Dermaplaning results can last up to four weeks, but if the procedure is not repeated, previous positive results will dissipate quickly. For continued positive effects, it is recommended for individuals to have the procedure performed at least once per month.
