Dermaplaning

The presence of dead skin cells can give you a dull complexion, and may also visibly age you. Dr. Hayes Gladstone performs the dermaplaning procedure right here at Gladstone Clinic, ensuring that patients in San Ramon, San Francisco, Pleasanton and the surrounding communities in California have the brightest complexion possible.

What Is Dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning is the process of removing dead skin cells by scraping them away. In the process, it also eliminates the “peach fuzz” that many women develop after menopause, leaving very smooth, supple skin behind. Although skin is physically scraped, the procedure is surprisingly comfortable. So comfortable in fact, that no anesthesia whatsoever is required.

Benefits of Dermaplaning

Dermaplaning does not require anesthesia, and is, therefore, ideal for anyone at risk for complications from it. And unlike other procedures, such as chemical peels or microdermabrasion, the results are visible almost immediately.

Who Is the Ideal Candidate for Dermaplaning?

You may wish to undergo dermaplaning if you are:

What Do I Need to Do Before Dermaplaning?

It is important to get any acne breakouts under control; otherwise, your condition might actually become worse after dermaplaning.

How Long Does it Take to Perform Dermaplaning?

You can typically have a dermaplaning procedure performed in under 30 minutes unless you are exfoliating a very large area of skin. In that case, dermaplaning could take up to one hour.

What to Expect After Dermaplaning

Your skin will have a pinkish tint and may also be extremely sensitive to sunlight. Wear a wide-brimmed hat and sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher whenever you are outdoors.

Will I Have Scars After Getting Dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning does not produce any scars, just glowing, more radiant skin.

When Will I See the Results?

Your results will be seen immediately, although the full benefits may not be clearly seen as long as your skin maintains its pinkish hue. Once your skin returns to its normal color, you will notice dramatic results right away.

How Long Will the Results of Dermaplaning Last?

The results of dermaplaning are designed to last for several weeks, but the exact results will vary from person to person.
