Dermaplaning Facial in Houston, TX

What Is Dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning, a gentle method of exfoliation, is incredibly simple and safe – using a blade and delicate touch over the surface of the skin to remove dead skin cells and fine vellus, also known as peach fuzz – leaving your skin more smooth, vibrant, and supple than ever before.

What Are the Benefits of Dermaplaning?

So what makes dermaplaning so beneficial? Many of our patients enjoy the following benefits offered through dermaplaning:

• More even skin tone due to the removal of dead skin cells that contribute to discoloration.
• Simple yet effective hair removal as the blade shaves away hair – leaving skin smooth and hair-free.
• Minimal risk as a sharp blade and delicate touch is used to complete the treatment.
• Long-lasting effects as the treatment remove up to 3 weeks of dead skin cells and hair takes up to 1 month to grow back.

Dermaplaning With Dr. Michael Streitmann

Dermaplaning is a facial exfoliation that provides a wide range of benefits. The exfoliation process removes the top layer of dead skin cells, the fine hairs on your face, and any excess oil, dirt, or other grime that may affect your overall skin health. This procedure exposes the fresh, clean skin beneath anything that may be marring your complexion, which gives you healthier, more even, and younger-looking skin. Although your skin tends to do an excellent job of overturning its cells when you are younger, aging can slow down this process. The slowing of this process makes the skin’s natural process of getting rid of dead, unneeded skin cells and exposing new, healthy skin less efficient.

Dermaplaning, which can be done on its own or to make the skin’s surface more receptive to another cosmetic procedure, is a method of supplementing this natural process. The procedure involves gently scraping away the layer of dead skin with a scalpel or similar tool, which helps your skin look and function more like it did years or even decades ago. It is most frequently used as preparation for a skin peel or similar cosmetic procedure because these procedures work more efficiently on fresh, smooth skin. The results obtained from combining them with dermaplaning are often more noticeable than using a skin peel alone. Although less common, dermaplaning can also be used on its own, especially if you are interested in using it to treat acne or another specific skin concern.

What Are the Benefits of Dermaplaning?

Removing excess skin boosts the overall health of your skin and has several positive effects. Here are some of the most significant benefits of this innovative skin treatment!

Rejuvenated Skin

Dermaplaning is one of the most effective methods of getting rid of as much dead skin as possible, making it easier for fresh, new skin to develop and reach the surface. Dermaplaning refreshes and rejuvenates the surface of your skin by evening out its tone and texture and brightens the overall complexion.

Fewer Fine Lines and Wrinkles

Dermaplaning also gives patients younger-looking skin by making wrinkles, fine lines, and other signs of aging less noticeable. The layer of skin that it removes contributes to the overall visibility of these imperfections. Getting these results as an extra benefit of dermaplaning can help reduce your need for treatments specifically for antiaging.

Help for Acne Sufferers

Reducing the buildup of dead skin can go a long way toward minimizing acne. Much like other exfoliating treatments, dermaplaning helps keep the skin’s surface fresh, healthy, and free of excess oils. Minimizing the buildup of excess skin also helps to keep pores unclogged.

Cosmetics Will Go On Easily

Smooth, healthy skin is much more receptive to cosmetics than rough, dead skin. Suppose you are struggling to get your liquid or powder cosmetics to adhere to your skin. Dermaplaning can help turn a textured surface that is difficult to cover evenly into a smooth canvas that requires much less effort.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Dermaplaning?

Although dermaplaning can be an excellent option for the right person, some points may make certain candidates more likely to get the results they want. While there are no major risks associated with dermaplaning that would make it an unsafe option for certain candidates, it can sometimes be hard on sensitive skin, so it is always a good idea to discuss any concerns you may have with your dermatologist or cosmetic surgeon. The average dermaplaning cost per session also typically needs to be paid out of pocket. Dermaplaning is generally not covered by insurance because it is a cosmetic procedure rather than a medical necessity. It is typically only an ideal option for patients that can easily cover that cost.
