Refresh Your Complexion With Dermaplaning in St. Louis

If you’re looking to improve your skincare routine, you may be a good fit for dermaplaning treatment at Renaissance Plastic Surgery. This simple, non-invasive treatment will exfoliate your facial skin and leave your complexion looking smooth, healthy, and youthful.

What Is Dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning is a cosmetic treatment that uses a medical-grade scalpel to gently scrape away the outermost layer of facial skin. This removes both dead skin cells and the fine vellus hairs (peach fuzz), leaving the surface of the face nice and smooth. This type of exfoliation helps stimulate new, healthy skin to rise to the surface. It leaves patients with a more youthful and dewy face without any harsh chemicals, excessive downtime, or pain.

Benefits of Dermaplaning

Dermaplaning is an effective skin renewal treatment that can offer all of the following benefits:

  • Smoother, clearer facial skin
  • A more refreshed, youthful appearance
  • Removal of peach fuzz
  • Reduced fine lines and wrinkles
  • More even skin tone
  • Thorough exfoliation
  • Reduced likelihood of acne breakouts
  • Quick, painless treatment
  • No recovery time
  • Increased self-confidence

Does Dermaplaning Treatment Require Any Downtime?

Generally, dermaplaning does not require any downtime, and you’ll likely have no problem resuming your normal routine right away after the treatment. However, taking proper care of your skin after the procedure is essential. For example, you should avoid direct sunlight, heavy makeup, and harsh skincare products for several days. It’s also wise to keep your skin moisturized and wear sunscreen whenever you spend time outdoors. Additionally, you’ll want to wait at least 24 to 48 hours to engage in strenuous exercise.

Be sure to follow all of your provider’s aftercare instructions to ensure that your skin heals properly after dermaplaning.

Are You a Good Candidate for Dermaplaning?

Adults who would like to achieve smoother, clearer facial skin could be good candidates for dermaplaning treatment in St. Louis. Dermaplaning is often an excellent option for individuals dealing with issues such as mild to moderate fine lines and wrinkles, peach fuzz, hyperpigmentation, and dull skin texture.

While dermaplaning is a safe and effective option for most adults, it isn’t necessarily right for everyone. You should not undergo dermaplaning treatment if any of the following apply to your situation:

  • You have a serious health condition
  • You have an active inflammatory skin condition, such as acne, rosacea, eczema, sunburn, or psoriasis
  • You have an active skin infection
