Dermaplaning In St. Louis

Dermaplaning is a resurfacing procedure that utilizes physical exfoliation to reveal fresher, smoother skin without using any chemical exfoliants or harsh peeling agents. During a treatment a Licensed Nurse uses a small surgical blade to carefully remove the top layer of the skin. In addition, the vellus, (fine, light hair on the skin often referred to as “peach fuzz”) is also removed. However, it is important to note that when the vellus does grow back it will remain as soft and light as it was originally.

Dermaplaning can be a great option for people with chemical sensitivities and women who are pregnant or nursing. Since a physical mechanism is used to exfoliate, a dull complexion can be revived without any exposure to potentially irritating topical treatments.

Dermaplaning can be included in any facial as an add-on or performed as a stand-alone treatment. When performed on its own a dermaplaning appointment will also include cleansing, skin prep, and appropriate skincare application (serums, moisturizer, sunscreen, eye cream etc.).

Dermaplaning typically has no side effects and requires little to no recovery time. The specialists at the Boulevard Med Spa are happy to answer any questions about dermaplaning and discuss if it could be beneficial in your personalized skin care plan.

Dermaplaning is beneficial for a range of skin types, and can address a variety of complexion concerns. As dead skin cells are removed, the face is deeply yet gently exfoliated for a rejuvenated glow. Dermaplaning can diminish fine lines, improve hyperpigmentation, and treat dry skin. Another one of the many benefits of dermaplaning is its ability to refine skin in order to improve the effectiveness of skin care treatments and products. When used in preparation for other skin care procedures, such as chemical peels, skin that has been treated with dermaplaning may allow for more effective penetration.
