Ever watched a movie and wondered how actresses get their faces to look so flawless? You might think it’s all thanks to brilliant makeup artists or just good luck. But the secret often lies in the magic of a dermaplane facial.

Let’s look at the surprising benefits of dermaplaning and how you can experience them for yourself. No Hollywood role required!

What is a Dermaplane Facial?

Wondering, ‘what is a dermaplane facial?’ It might sound intimidating at first, but the popular facial is much less complicated than you might think.

A dermaplane facial uses a sterile surgical scalpel to gently scrape your skin in short upward strokes. This process removes your dead skin cells and superficial vellus hair, known as ‘peach fuzz.’ You’ll end up with ultra-smooth, radiant, and glowy skin.

Is Dermaplaning Safe?

Yes! Dermaplane facials are non-invasive. Though a surgical scalpel is used, you don’t need to worry. Your expert aesthetician holds the safe tool at a 45-degree angle using gentle motions to only exfoliate, never penetrate, the skin.

We only use the best blades at Balance Spa Boca for the best results. Our blades have a curved edge with a small point at the tip. Every client gets a fresh, never-used blade. It’s sterilized and thrown away after every use.

You will not get cut during treatment. In rare cases, some clients will get very small, superficial cuts. Even then, it’s a very low risk, especially if you follow your aesthetician’s guidance to keep your face still during the treatment.

4 Proven Benefits of Dermaplaning

Before you get nervous about the blade, you might ask: Why is a dermaplane facial more beneficial than other non-surgical treatments?

There are countless benefits of dermaplaning beyond the soft, smooth skin we all love. Four of our favorites include removing facial hair, anti-aging effects, exfoliating for flawless makeup application, and providing a completely painless experience:

1. Removes Fine Facial Hair

A dermaplane facial works similarly to the “shaving your face” trend. However, it’s much more effective. The blade used in this treatment is sharper than what you’d typically find in stores. With a professional aesthetician handling the process, you’ll achieve far better results in those tricky areas.

Note: Dermaplaning removes peach fuzz. It does not remove stubborn, coarse hair. We recommend tweezing any coarse hairs before your treatment.

2. Anti-Aging Effects

Let’s start by clearing up what “anti-aging” really means. Anti-aging products and treatments don’t reverse skin aging. Instead, they prevent further damage and reduce the visible effects of past skin damage. This means your skin will look fresher and younger.

A dermaplane facial has anti-aging effects because it removes the entire top layer of dead skin. As a result, you’ll reduce the appearance of fine lines, hyperpigmentation, and acne scars. You’ll notice a more awake, revitalized complexion with a youthful glow when you look in the mirror.

3. Dermaplane Facials are Painless & Require No Downtime

If you’ve tried other hair removal methods, you’ll know how painful and frustrating they can be. The woes of waxing, tweezing, and laser hair removal are now unnecessary. Dermaplane facials are different.

Despite the use of a scalpel, they’re painless and surprisingly relaxing. Dermaplaning offers a quick, stress-free experience, unlike other treatments that leave your face beet red and require extra care at home. All you need to do is show up for your treatment and gently cleanse your face that evening.

4. Exfoliates Skin for Celebrity-Level Makeup Application

Though many people choose it for painless hair removal, they offer several other benefits of dermaplaning. One of the biggest is exfoliating the skin by removing dead skin cells. Unlike microdermabrasion and other exfoliation methods, dermaplaning is non-abrasive and doesn’t use special chemicals. This makes the dermaplane facial perfect for sensitive skin. Your skin will look naturally flawless and feel incredibly smooth to the touch.

And if you ask us, the best part is how effortlessly your makeup will glide over your fresh, smooth skin. Dermaplane is how you get that flawless, movie-star-quality finish.

How Long Does Dermaplaning Last?

Our dermaplane facials at Balance Spa Boca take 70 minutes, with results lasting 3-4 weeks. There’s no downtime. You’ll see immediate results after your first session.

Other spas may offer dermaplaning in just 30-45 minutes. However, we take the time with every motion to personalize the treatment for your skin. This ensures a safe experience where every inch of your skin is left smooth, even, and glowing.

Can I Get a Dermaplane Facial If I Have Sensitive Skin?

Yes. Dermaplaning is safe for sensitive skin. Our facial specialists are professionally trained in dermaplaning and all other treatments at our spa. Your esthetician customizes the treatment to your skin type, using no harsh chemicals. They’ll select the right enzymes and exfoliation techniques based on your unique skin for optimal results with minimal irritation.

Still, dermaplaning may not be the right fit if you have chronic acne, eczema, psoriasis, or other conditions. If you’re unsure whether dermaplaning is right for you, give us a call at 561-208-8111, and we can help you determine the right treatment option for your skin type and goals.

Dermaplaning at Home vs. at a Spa: What’s the Difference?

While you can buy dermaplaning tools for at-home use, the experience and results differ for several key reasons:

• Quality of the Tools: The dermaplaning tools used at our spa are much higher quality and sharper than the at-home versions. This provides significantly better control and more effective results.
• Safety and Risk: Dermaplaning at a spa is a low-risk, safe treatment. At home, however, the risk increases because you’re not trained in proper technique. The blade may be dull, and sterilization may not be up to standard.
• Ease of Experience: At a spa, dermaplaning is a relaxing and refreshing experience. At home, it’s often stressful and less enjoyable.

How Often Should I Get Dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning results typically last 3-4 weeks. Your skin may require different treatments based on your individual needs. For best results, we recommend scheduling your dermaplane facial every 4-6 weeks to maintain a smooth, glowing complexion and prevent the buildup of dead skin cells.
