Dermaplaning

Dermaplaning is an exfoliating - or the process of removing dead skin cells from the surface of your skin - procedure that removes debris, makeup, dirt, peach fuzz, and dead skin from your face. In order to accomplish this, we use a scalpel-like tool called a dermatome to lightly shave the top layer of your skin. This removes the top layer of dead skin from your face, leaving your skin smooth and bright.

Dermaplaning can leave your skin brighter, smoother, and refreshed. This treatment is helpful in reducing the appearance of fine lines on your face and wrinkles, and will even out your skin tone if you experience hyperpigmentation. It is also helpful in treating the appearance and feel of deep acne scars.

We recommend only getting Dermaplaning done once every three to four weeks. Your body naturally replaces skin cells each month, so this timeline ensures that old cells are removed and the new skin cells become visible. Depending on patients' specific needs, more frequent visits may be required. Our experts at Zapped will help determine and adjust your treatment depending on how long your results last. Consistency is vitally important when it comes to Dermaplaning!

Two to three days after your Dermaplaning procedure, you may experience redness and your skin may feel rough. However, your skin shouldn’t need too much time to recover and you may see your skin looking youthful and glowing immediately after treatment. It takes a few days to see the full results, and over time as your body produces collagen from the treatment your skin's texture will become more smooth. It is important to know that results are not permanent. After a month or so, you will see results fading. Every few weeks, come back and see our Zapped Brooklyn Beauty Experts, schedule your next appointment and we will be sure to give you all the tricks to keep your skin hydrated after treatment!

Most people who get Dermaplaning do not experience any irritation or reaction but some may experience red or irritated skin from the scraping, soreness, and a burning or tingling sensation for up to 48 hours after. It is uncommon for your hair to grow back darker or thicker. Rarely, some people may experience thicker or darker hair growing near their chin or sideburns. Dermaplaning is not recommended if you have the following skin conditions: acne, rosacea, psoriasis, eczema, or a sunburn. Please let our team know if you are on any skin medications before getting started.

Dermaplaning is very beneficial for helping to make your skin look smoother and younger, reducing wrinkles and very helpful for those with excess hair and breakouts. By removing peach fuzz and removing dead skin cells, your skin will be healthier and reveal a brighter complexion.
