Dermaplaning is a remarkably noninvasive procedure that has garnered immense popularity among individuals of various ages and skin types. Its widespread appeal can be attributed to its convenience, rapid results, and remarkable outcomes. Dermaplaning is a surefire way to assist clients in attaining the velvety, revitalized, and radiant complexion they rightfully desire. This informational brochure is designed to elucidate the intricacies and advantages of a dermaplaning facial, shedding light on its purpose and how it can contribute to the rejuvenation of your skin!
What is Dermaplaning?
At first glance, dermaplaning may seem like a fairly simple and superficial procedure. However, the benefits of dermaplaning are truly skin deep! Dermaplaning treatment on the face involves the removal of dead skin cells, fine hair (known as vellus hair), and other debris from the skin’s surface. By ridding the face of contaminants, the skin will appear smoother, fresher, balanced, and healthier.
How Does Dermaplaning Work?
During your dermaplaning treatment, which typically takes about 45 – 60 minutes, I will begin by cleansing the skin and preparing it for treatment. Because dermaplaning is described as painless, and noninvasive, no numbing agents are required. A surgical scalpel will be used to scrape the fine hair, dead skin cells, and other materials from the face to reveal the glowing skin underneath and stimulate the body to continue producing new, healthy skin cells. Immediately following treatment, moisturizer, sunscreen, and other specialized skin care products will be applied to enhance and prolong your results.
What is Cataphoresis?
Galvanic procedure (also known as cataphoresis), is a technology that uses natural positive and negative currents to help rebalance the molecular structure to rejuvenated the skin.
What Will my Face Look Like After Dermaplaning?
Unlike other cosmetic skin treatments, dermaplaning requires no downtime or recovery. In fact, patients can immediately apply makeup and return to their normal daily routine after dermaplaning, though direct sun exposure and excessive heat should be avoided for 3-5 days. Microscopic peeling or flaking may occur, but this is typically subtle and should not impact the clients overall appearance.
What is the Difference Between Dermaplaning and Shaving?
Although it may sound similar to shaving, dermaplaning is a much more advanced process with compelling benefits. Dead skin cells, peach fuzz (vellus hair), and facial hair can all trap oil, bacteria, sweat, and other contaminants, which can lead to a variety of blemishes. By getting rid of peach fuzz and dead layers of skin, clients can keep their skin looking clean, clear, and healthy. Furthermore, skin care products can be more efficiently absorbed without the preventative barrier of peach fuzz and other debris.
Does Dermaplaining Help with Dark Spots?
Most patients think of dermaplaning as a way to achieve a smoother, cleaner complexion. A lesser-known benefit of dermaplaning is that it can actually reduce dark spots and hyperpigmentation on the surface of the skin. Age spots, sunspots, melasma, and other forms of hyperpigmentation can be caused by a number of things, including:
- Genetics
- Age
- Pregnancy
- Hormones
- Certain medications
- Underlying condition
- Sun exposure
When the top layer of hyperpigmented skin cells is removed during dermaplaning, the body generates new, healthy, less pigmented cells.
The Benefits of Cataphoresis (galvanic current) Facials?
1. Reduces Dullness and makes Skin Glow: Dullness is one of the main signs of aging. A galvanic facial removes all the impurities from your skin and promotes skin rejuvenation. It also improves the concentration of oxygen in it. This deep cleansing technique makes your skin glow.
2. Minimizes Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Age and constant exposure to the sun and dust can take a toll on your skin. You won’t even notice the fine lines and wrinkles beginning to creep up on your face. Treating yourself to a galvanic facial once in a while will rejuvenate your skin, restores skin balance, tightens the skin, and leads to reduced fine lines and wrinkles. It is also beneficial in preventing premature signs of aging.
3. Improves Elasticity in Your Skin: Due to aging and external factors, your skin tends to lose elasticity and sag. The galvanic current that is passed through your skin during the treatment helps in tightening it. This revives your aging skin, resulting in improved skin elasticity.
4. Detoxifing Your Skin: A galvanic facial has something more to offer than conventional facials. The electric currents enable lymph drainage and stimulate your skin. This improves your skin’s natural ability to cleanse itself of harmful toxins, leading to improved skin texture. Moreover, the facial draws out toxins from deep within your skin, making your face look brighter and healthier.
5. Boost Blood Circulation and Oxygen Levels into the Skin: A galvanic facial boosts the production of fresh skin cells, causing an increased collagen production. As a result, the new cells replace the older ones much faster. It also aids improved blood circulation to the surface of your skin, which, in turn, increases oxygen supply to your face. Oxygen makes your skin feel fresher and tighter and supports moisture retention.
6. Helps in Preventing Acne: The galvanic facial, especially the desincrustation[1] process, targets the hair follicles and clogged pores. It extracts all the impurities stuck in your skin pores, leaving them clean. This helps in reducing and preventing acne.
7. Improves Complexion: When your skin is thoroughly cleansed, it looks clear and bright. That’s because harmful toxins are eliminated from your skin. The negative ions in the current trap all the impurities, toxins, and dirt. This, in turn, gives you an improved skin tone.
8. Throughly Moisturizes Your Skin: A galvanic facial improves skin hydration by removing dead skin cells and promoting cell regeneration. This revitalizes your skin, making it more elastic and increasing its moisture retention.
9. Better Skin Product Absorption: Improved skin product absorption is one of the benefits of the cataphoresis treatment. The galvanic current contains negative ions, and the treatment gel that is applied to your skin contains positive ions. The current pushes the products deeper into your skin. The products work hard in neutralizing the toxins and harmful free radicals in your skin. The deep tissues and cells within your skin layers are where the products work best. The better absorption of products further leads to improved overall skin health.
10. Calms and Soothes Your Skin: Not only does aging turn your skin into a canvas of fine lines, age spots, and wrinkles, it also makes it rough to touch. A facial eases the facial tissues and muscles that get stiff with aging. When the muscles and tissues are relaxed, more blood and oxygen are carried to the skin cells. The pH balance of the skin is also restored, making it soft and smooth.
