Overview

Dermaplaning is a non-invasive procedure in which a blade is gently moved across dry skin on the face, removing dead skin and evening out rough, dry skin. Dermaplaning is painless and can be performed as often as twice per month. In addition to removing the rough outer portion of the dermis. Dermaplaning also helps remove unwanted vellus hairs, also known as ‘peach fuzz’. What is a chemical peel? A chemical peel is an in-office procedure during which an acidic solution is applied to the surface of the face. The solution is left on for a few minutes, after which time it is removed or neutralized. Most people experience some mild tingling during a chemical peel, which usually takes only a few minutes to complete. Following a chemical peel, the skin may ‘flake off’ for a couple of days before revealing newer, healthier-looking skin beneath the surface. Chemical peels are useful for improving the appearance of the skin and conditions like hyperpigmentation, fine lines, sun damage, acne scars, and age spots. Why get a combination dermaplaning and chemical peel? While dermaplaning and chemical peels are effective apart, they work synergistically together. Dermaplaning helps to remove the outer layers of the skin, making the chemical solution in a chemical peel far more effective. Since dermaplaning enables the acidic solution to reach deeper levels of the dermis, the chemical solution in a combination treatment is left on the skin for a shorter period of time than it is during a chemical peel alone. Dermaplaning can be combined with many different types of chemical peels, from mild glycolic and salicylic acid peels to stronger peels containing trichloroacetic acid (TCA).
