What Is Dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning Treatment Overview
Dermaplaning at Urban Laser Denver is a quick and effective procedure performed by a certified technician. It involves using a sterile blade to gently exfoliate the skin’s surface, removing dead cells and fine vellus hair. This process immediately reveals a smoother, brighter complexion, enhancing product absorption and makeup application without any downtime.
Preparing for Your Dermaplaning Session
- Initial Consultation
Before your dermaplaning session, you’ll have a brief consultation to discuss your skin concerns and goals. Our certified technician will assess your skin type and explain the procedure in detail. This ensures the treatment is tailored to your individual needs.
- Skin Preparation
For optimal results, ensure your skin is clean and free of makeup on the day of your appointment. Avoid using any harsh exfoliants or retinoids for a few days prior to your treatment. This helps prepare your skin for a gentle and effective exfoliation.
- Hydration and Sun Protection
Maintaining a good skincare routine with adequate hydration and daily sun protection is always recommended. Healthy, well-hydrated skin responds better to treatments. Our team can provide specific pre-treatment instructions during your consultation.
What Happens During Dermaplaning?
- Skin Cleansing
Your treatment begins with a thorough cleansing of your face to remove any makeup, oils, or impurities. This step ensures a clean surface, optimizing the effectiveness and safety of the dermaplaning process. Your skin will be completely dry before proceeding.
- Exfoliation Process
A sterile, single-use surgical blade is then gently held at a 45-degree angle against your skin. Our certified technician, Dasie, will make light, feathering strokes across your face, carefully removing dead skin cells and fine vellus hair. This process is precise and controlled, ensuring comfort.
- Post-Treatment Application
Once the exfoliation is complete, a soothing serum or moisturizer is applied to your freshly treated skin. This helps to calm and hydrate your complexion immediately after the procedure. Your skin will feel exceptionally smooth and appear visibly brighter.
- Session Duration
The entire dermaplaning procedure is typically quick and efficient, lasting approximately 15 to 20 minutes. This makes it an ideal treatment for those with busy schedules. You can return to your daily activities immediately after your session.
Dermaplaning Recovery and Care
- Immediate Aftercare
After dermaplaning, you will experience no downtime, and you can resume your regular activities immediately. Your skin may feel slightly sensitive or appear a little pink for a short period, which is normal. Many clients describe their skin feeling incredibly smooth and soft right away.
- Sun Protection
It is crucial to apply broad-spectrum sunscreen daily after your dermaplaning treatment. Freshly exfoliated skin is more susceptible to sun damage. Protecting your skin from UV rays will help maintain your results and prevent hyperpigmentation.
- Hydration
Keep your skin well-hydrated by using a gentle, nourishing moisturizer. Your skin’s ability to absorb products will be enhanced, so this is an excellent time to apply high-quality serums and creams. Optimal hydration supports the skin’s natural barrier.
- Makeup and Product
You can apply makeup immediately after your dermaplaning session if desired. You will likely notice that your makeup glides on more smoothly and evenly. Continue to avoid harsh exfoliants or active ingredients for a few days post-treatment.
