4 Things You Need to Know About Dermaplaning

Facial hair in men looks nice, doesn’t it? A beard, mustache, or goatee can completely change their look, frame their face, and make them look much more attractive. While facial hair can boost a man’s self-esteem and improve their appearance, it can be quite a burden to women.

 
 

Peach fuzz can hinder your glow and prevent you from being the best version of yourself. Facial hair could even cause breakouts, making your skin look dull and a little lackluster. If you want to get rid of your vellus hairs and have brighter, better skin, then a dermaplaning treatment at Kim Gallo Esthetics in Naples, FL is your answer!

Before you go ahead and look for a clinic that offers dermaplaning, make sure to read our list below so you know what to expect.

1. Dermaplaning is better than shaving at home

Dermaplaning and shaving are both used to remove facial hair, but that’s where the similarities stop. Shaving removes the hair, but a dermaplane treatment can take care of more than that!

Shaving at home is far from getting a professional procedure done, as an at-home facial razor won’t remove the dead skin cells. Shaving the face is also harder than it sounds—if you’re not careful, you may cut your face and add more scars!

Unlike traditional shaving, dermaplaning is more of an exfoliation treatment with the added benefit of removing hairs. An experienced licensed professional from Kim Gallo Esthetics will also be in charge of your treatment, so you can rest assured that they’ll be able to get rid of the dead skin cells and hair.

2. You can enjoy long-term results

As soon as the procedure is over, you’ll be able to tell the difference immediately, as your skin looks brighter.

The results from dermaplaning may not be permanent, since the hair will grow back in four to five weeks. However, this doesn’t mean that your skin will revert to what it looked like before the procedure.

Even after your hair has grown back, you can enjoy its long term effects, such as:

  • Increased cell turnover;

  • Fewer wrinkles and dark spots; and

  • Reduced acne scarring.

3. Dermaplaning is a low-risk procedure

A blade against your skin may not sound nice, but dermaplaning is very safe! As long as it’s performed by a professional, you’ll have nothing to worry about. After the procedure is performed, you could experience some redness, irritation, and itchiness—but they should go away after a few days.

Infection and scarring rarely ever happen, but they do occur. Make sure to get immediate professional care so that the side effects won't worsen!


4. Not everyone can be a candidate for dermaplane

Dermaplaning is safe for virtually everyone—except for a few people. Depending on your medical history and skin condition, dermaplaning can worsen your health issue instead of helping you. Before you go ahead and attempt dermaplaning at home, you should consult your dermatologist first!

We recommend that you avoid dermaplaning if you have:

  • Extremely sensitive skin;

  • Rosacea;

  • Eczema;

  • Active acne breakouts;

  • Sunburn;

  • Psoriasis; or

  • Deep acne scarring.
