DERMAPLANING
Dermaplaning is a skincare procedure designed to exfoliate the skin and remove fine facial hair, often called "peach fuzz." It involves using a sterile surgical scalpel to gently scrape the skin's surface, removing dead skin cells and unwanted hair. At our dermatology clinic in Kailua, Hawaii, dermaplaning is a popular treatment to achieve smoother, brighter skin.
Dermaplaning is suitable for most skin types and offers immediate results. It can be a stand-alone treatment or part of a broader skincare routine, providing a quick and effective way to enhance the complexion.
Benefits
The benefits of dermaplaning include smoother skin, better absorption of skincare products, and a more even complexion. It also helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and allows makeup to go on more smoothly.
Procedure Overview
Dermaplaning involves using a surgical blade to remove dead skin cells and fine hair from the face. The procedure typically takes 30 to 45 minutes, with minimal discomfort. There's no downtime, and the skin may appear slightly pink immediately afterward, but this fades quickly.
