Over time, our skin endures a lot, leading to visible signs of aging. Magnolia Dermatology Clinic in Clarksville, Tennessee, provides dermaplaning as an effective way to restore your youthful, refreshed appearance. This treatment gently smooths your skin, minimizing acne scars and fine lines for a rejuvenated glow. Please schedule an appointment with our board-certified dermatologist, Dr. Neelam Patel, and experience revitalized skin without the typical downtime.
Dermaplaning is a painless procedure that exfoliates your skin and leaves it feeling smooth and refreshed. Dr. Patel uses this gentle procedure to remove dead skin cells and fine vellus hair (also known as peach fuzz) from the surface of your face with a sterile, surgical-grade scalpel. The result? Instantly brighter, softer, and more radiant skin that reflects light beautifully, creating a youthful glow.
Do you want to achieve a youthful, glowing complexion with dermaplaning? Here’s what you need to know about this procedure.
So, how does dermaplaning feel like? The process is fast, and we’ll be done within 30 minutes. The doctor holds the skin taut and uses the blade to make controlled, precise strokes at a 45-degree angle. Dermaplaning feels like someone shaving your skin. However, the surgical blade we use is sharper than any home razor. Many patients equate the procedure to the sensation of shaving.
Dermaplaning effectively removes peach fuzz. Better yet, the fine hairs do not grow back thicker or darker, as some might fear. Instead, they return to their natural soft texture after a few weeks, making dermaplaning effective in maintaining smooth, hair-free skin. We repeat dermaplaning every 4-6 weeks, which aligns with your natural hair growth cycle.
This process doesn’t just eliminate peach fuzz—it also exfoliates the skin, leaving it smoother and more radiant. Dermaplaning can address specific skin conditions like:
Removing peach fuzz and dead cells allows skincare products to penetrate more effectively and helps makeup glide on smoothly. After a dermaplane, now is the best time to apply serums, creams, and other products.
Although both are exfoliating treatments to improve skin texture and appearance, the two are different. Microdermabrasion uses a crystal or diamond-tipped wand to remove dead skin cells and debris while lightly abrading the skin’s surface. Dermaplaning uses a surgical blade to remove dead skin cells and hair. Dermaplaning offers deeper exfoliation than microdermabrasion by physically removing more of the skin’s surface layer.
The internet is awash with DIY examples of dermaplaning. Unfortunately, this is never a good idea. Home razors are dull and can cut the skin, but most importantly, dermatologists are trained to use a specific technique for safe and optimal outcomes. Remember, dermaplaning is a medical-grade treatment. Dr. Patel holds the blade at the right angle and makes specific movements to remove the dead cells and unwanted hairs.
