Dermaplaning Treatment Specialist in New York City, NY

Dermaplaning is a sought-after, minimally invasive skin treatment offered at the DermaStar Skin and Laser Medical Spa. This cosmetic procedure, performed by our aestheticians, involves the physical exfoliation of the skin using a sterile, surgical scalpel. The technique is designed to remove the top layer of dead skin cells and peach fuzz, or vellus hair, from the face, enhancing the skin’s appearance to look smoother, brighter, and more youthful.

At DermaStar Skin and Laser Medical Spa, the dermaplaning procedure is straightforward. Our professionals hold the skin taut and gently scrape the surface with the scalpel at a 45-degree angle. This process removes the top layer of skin, often filled with dead skin cells, and also removes fine vellus hair, often referred to as peach fuzz, which can trap dirt and oil.

A standard dermaplaning session lasts approximately 20-30 minutes, with clients comparing the sensation to that of shaving. There’s no required downtime for recovery, though the skin might appear slightly pink immediately after the procedure, but it usually returns to its normal color within a few hours.

This procedure is also known to provide a clean and smooth canvas for makeup application, making it a favorite treatment before special events.

However, Dermaplaning isn’t suggested for people who have aggressive acne as the procedure can aggravate the condition. As with any skincare treatment, we encourage a comprehensive consultation with our experts to confirm that the process is appropriate for your skin type and to address any potential risks or side effects.

At DermaStar Skin and Laser Medical Spa, we’re proud to offer dermaplaning, a physical exfoliation procedure that eliminates dead skin cells and impurities from your skin, revealing healthier, brighter, and naturally glowing skin. This treatment, suitable for nearly all skin types, offers numerous benefits.
 
Dermaplaning gently removes the topmost layer of dead skin and fine vellus hair. This results in an enhanced skin texture that is smooth, soft, and youthful. It significantly minimizes obvious signs of aging such as fine lines, wrinkles, and age spots, creating a radiant and evenly-toned appearance.

For those dealing with acne, dermaplaning can reduce the visibility of acne scars and help minimize blemishes, blackheads, and breakouts. By eradicating dead skin cells and clearing pores, it promotes clear, healthy-looking skin. Additionally, it aids in reducing hyperpigmentation and evens out skin tone for a balanced, uniform look.

One of the unique advantages of dermaplaning is how it improves the absorption of skincare products. Removing the topmost layer of skin allows for better penetration of skincare products, thus enhancing their efficacy and delivering optimal results for hydration, nourishment, and anti-aging benefits. This also improves makeup application, providing a smoother base for makeup and preventing the buildup of makeup on dead skin cells, giving you a fresh, natural, and polished appearance.

Dermaplaning is non-invasive and has minimal downtime, making it an attractive choice for many people, including those who are pregnant or nursing who want deep exfoliation but cannot use chemical peeling agents.

With regular treatments at our Medical Spa, this procedure has the potential to stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, restore skin elasticity and firmness, boost skin resilience, and reduce wrinkle appearance.

At DermaStar Skin and Laser Medical Spa, we’re often asked about dermaplaning, a popular beauty treatment that has gained widespread recognition for its effectiveness in promoting smoother, more youthful skin.
 
However, just like any skincare treatment, it’s important to know that dermaplaning may not be suitable for everyone. Though it can be beneficial for those with dry or dull skin, those with highly sensitive skin, rosacea, active acne, or inflammatory skin conditions should avoid this treatment. It could potentially exacerbate these conditions, causing irritation, redness, and further breakouts.

As a medical spa that prioritizes our clients’ well-being, we also advise pregnant or breastfeeding women to be cautious about dermaplaning. Hormonal imbalances at these times may impact skin sensitivity. Additionally, clients with a history of cold sores or fever blisters should inform our team before the procedure, as dermaplaning may increase the risk of reactivation.

If you have recently undergone a cosmetic procedure at our medical spa, such as a chemical peel or laser treatment, we suggest waiting until your skin has completely recovered before considering dermaplaning.

When professionally conducted by our experienced team, the risks associated with dermaplaning are minimal. We take all necessary precautions and use effective techniques to minimize the chances of complications, such as scarring, infection, or hyperpigmentation.

At DermaStar Skin and Laser Medical Spa, we offer expert dermaplaning treatments that are tailored to each individual’s skin type and condition. Our professionals understand that skin care is not a one-size-fits-all approach and that the frequency of dermaplaning treatments can significantly vary based on your skin’s unique needs.
 
We typically recommend waiting at least three to four weeks between each dermaplaning session, allowing your skin to complete its natural regeneration cycle. However, if your skin tends towards oiliness or you have higher cellular turnover, you may benefit from our bi-weekly treatments. Conversely, if you have sensitive skin, our professionals may advise less frequent treatments, typically every four to six weeks, to avoid irritation or dryness.

Our experts at DermaStar Skin and Laser Medical Spa, are here to guide those with active acne, rosacea, or other skin concerns. It is crucial to consult our experts before undergoing dermaplaning to ensure safe and effective treatment. We can provide advice on treatment frequency and inform you about potential risks.

Your skin’s exfoliative response and the results you hope to achieve also influence the frequency of your treatments. Some clients see noticeable improvements with monthly treatments, while others may require more frequent sessions.

At DermaStar Skin and Laser Medical Spa, we encourage a discussion with our professionals to decide on the frequency of your dermaplaning treatments, ensuring a plan that aligns with your skin type, lifestyle, and skincare goals.

While dermaplaning can leave your skin looking fresh and radiant, it’s essential to avoid overdoing it to prevent skin damage. We advise a minimum of two weeks between treatments to give your skin time to recover and produce new cells. Following each session, we recommend a gentle skincare routine, including moisturizer and sunscreen, to protect your newly exfoliated skin.
