Dermaplaning

Newport Beach | Beverly Hills, CA

Introduction

Introduction to Dermaplaning

The skin is constantly battling stressors, such as UV rays, pollution, chemicals, wind, and dirt, while also reacting to our bad habits and lack of proper self-care. Over time, key compounds in the skin, such as hyaluronic acid, collagen, and elastin, also dwindle, leading to volume loss and wrinkles. Our customized dermaplaning sessions at Batniji Facial Plastic Surgery in Newport Beach and Beverly Hills, CA, revitalize the complexion, making rough, dull skin look vibrant and radiant once more.

What Is Dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning is a manual exfoliation technique that eradicates built-up dead skin cells, fine vellus hairs (“peach fuzz”), and debris without the use of acids, lasers, injections, or chemicals. It uses a razor-like, medical-grade instrument to carefully peel away the outer layer of damaged skin, revealing a more pristine, youthful complexion. Whether you are dealing with hyperpigmentation, acne scars, poor skin tone and texture, or signs of aging, dermaplaning may be an excellent option for elevating your confidence.

At Batniji Facial Plastic Surgery, a dermaplaning treatment session includes a double cleanse, AHA skin prep, dermaplaning, an enzyme peel, a moisturizer, and sunscreen.

Good Candidates for Dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning is suitable for most patients, provided that they are healthy and have realistic expectations. It is a mild, gentle treatment that typically does not cause irritation or discomfort. If you are unhappy with fine vellus hairs or wish to reduce sun damage and superficial imperfections without using lasers or chemicals, dermaplaning may be a good option for you. Dr. Batniji will see you for a private consultation in Newport Beach or Beverly Hills to make a final determination on your candidacy. Please be advised that dermaplaning isn’t recommended for those with eczema, psoriasis, skin cancer, cold sores, active acne, or active infections. Patients with a history of raised lesions, hypertrophic scarring, or keloid formation should also avoid dermaplaning.

What’s the First Step?

To begin your unique journey to a clearer, more radiant complexion with dermaplaning, you will first sit down for a detailed consultation with Dr. Batniji in Beverly Hills or Newport Beach. The doctor will complete a detailed medical and physical evaluation, explore your goals for improvement, and ensure that all your questions are answered with care and precision. You will gain a clear understanding of the procedure’s risks, benefits, recovery time, costs, and anticipated results, allowing you to form realistic expectations. Once you decide to move forward, we will book your appointment and provide a few guidelines to help you prepare. Our goal is to empower you with the information you need to have a safe and successful cosmetic journey.

A Breakdown of a Dermaplaning Treatment

Unlike laser therapy or chemical peels, dermaplaning is gentle and does not cause discomfort or irritation. During your session, we will use a sterile blade at a 45° angle to exfoliate the outer layer of damaged skin cells while clearing your complexion of unwanted peach fuzz. You can expect your session to last around 30 minutes. Not only does dermaplaning unclog pores, but it also enhances collagen production, leading to longer-term improvements in skin suppleness and radiance. The procedure also improves the efficacy of topical skincare products, as they are better absorbed.

What Should I Expect Immediately After the Treatment?

After your dermaplaning session, you may experience minor redness, swelling, and tingling. Despite the symptoms, you can resume your normal schedule immediately without missing a beat. There is no downtime. Since your skin will be especially sensitive to the sun’s harmful UV rays after dermaplaning, you should wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen when outdoors. You can expect your results to last around three weeks, after which you can come in for a touch-up session.
