Dermaplaning: The Answer to Super Smooth, Hair-Free Skin

SKN Loft • October 18, 2024

In the world of skin treatments, the last few years have seen the rise of a unique exfoliating procedure known as dermaplaning. This technique uses a surgical scalpel to gently scrape off the top layer of dulling dead skin cells and vellus hair (or "peach fuzz") to reveal a smoother, brighter complexion. As a result, your skin is left baby-soft, with a glowing, youthful appearance that radiates health and vitality.


Here at SKN Loft, we have been providing this transformative treatment to our clients in and around Calgary, helping them achieve the super smooth, hair-free skin they've always desired.


The Dermaplaning Process


Before you consider the treatment, it’s important to understand what dermaplaning entails. The procedure begins with a thorough cleansing of your skin. Then, a skilled aesthetician uses a specially designed scalpel to gently scrape off the surface layer of skin and removes peach fuzz. This process doesn't hurt and lasts around 20 to 30 minutes. After the treatment, your skin might look slightly pink, but this should fade within a few hours.


Hashing Out The Benefits


Dermaplaning offers several benefits. Because it removes dead skin and facial hair, your makeup application will be smoother. The treatment also allows for greater absorption of skincare products, enhancing their efficacy. Plus, it's an excellent option for those with sensitive skin who cannot tolerate other forms of physical exfoliation.


Moreover, the treatment can help reduce the appearance of fine lines, hyperpigmentation, and acne scars, making it a powerful tool in the battle against aging and skin damage.


Yes, It's For You


Dermaplaning is suitable for almost all skin types. However, those with active acne outbreaks or flaky skin conditions may need to postpone the treatment. Rest assured, at SKN Loft, our qualified team will assess your skin and discuss any potential concerns before proceeding with the treatment.


Don't Let The Myths Hold You Back


A common myth about dermaplaning is that your hair will grow back darker and coarser. This is not true. The procedure only affects the superficial layer of your skin and doesn't interact with the follicle where hair growth occurs. Therefore it can't change the colour or texture of your hair.


Investing in Your Skin Health


At SKN Loft, we believe in empowering our clients with the knowledge and tools required to make the best decisions for their skin health. Dermaplaning is just one of the many advanced skin care treatments we provide, with the aim of helping you achieve your skin goals.


While the treatment does provide immediate results, regular sessions spaced four to six weeks apart can further enhance the benefits, promoting long-term skin health and radiance.
