Dermaplaning in Cincinnati

The effects of aging, skin impurities, and dead skin cells can cause your skin to lose its luster. When this happens, skin needs a fresh start to stimulate the rejuvenation process.

Dermaplaning in Cincinnati provides just this stimulus. A specially designed scalpel is used to exfoliate the skin, removing dead cells and other substances like oil and bacteria. Its scraping action not only removes dead cells and impurities that accumulated on your skin, but also activates the underlying cells. As a result, this skin resurfacing process reveals radiant skin that continues to shine as your natural healing accelerates.

Things to Do:

• Be sure to come to your dermaplaning appointment adequately hydrated. This will help you achieve your best results.
• Arrive with a clean, makeup-free face.
• Let us know if you have an active infection or acne breakout on your face. We will help you get your treatment rescheduled.

Things to Avoid:

• Refrain from heavy exfoliation during the week before your Dermaplaning in Cincinnati.
• Avoid facial tanning and heavy sun exposure for 1 week before your treatment. Dermaplaning may irritate sunburned skin.

Things to Do:

• Keep your skin well-moisturized after your treatment.
• If necessary, we will provide a hydrating sheet mask immediately after your treatment.
• Clean your makeup applicators. These objects can be agents of heavy bacteria accumulation and often cause irritation and acne. In general, it’s a good practice to clean them once a week, especially after you receive a dermaplaning treatment.
• Use gentle, high quality cleansers and moisturizers.
• Wear sunscreen daily.

Things to Avoid:

• Avoid using heavy makeup in the days after dermaplaning. Overuse can disturb your skin.
• Avoid sun exposure and excessive exercise and tasks that may cause sweating for 48 hours. This can help to keep bacteria out of your newly cleansed and exfoliated skin.
• Refrain from picking at and disturbing your skin. It’s a good practice in general, but especially important to adhere to after dermaplaning in Cincinnati.

Thankfully, this treatment does not cause your facial hair to grow back thicker and darker. There are two types of hairs that grow on the human body: terminal hairs, which grow on the head and in the pubic and underarm areas, and vellus hairs, which grow on the face and in other areas and are sometimes referred to as “peach fuzz”. While terminal hairs grow back thicker and darker after being shaved, the vellus hairs on the face continue to grow at the same rate and do not become thicker or darker.

Additionally, dermaplaning is a treatment that doesn’t reach the hair follicle. Follicles are responsible for hair growth. We can easily maintain your vellus hairs with follow-up appointments for dermaplaning in Cincinnati.

There are many treatments at Transform MD that pair well with our gentle dermaplaning treatment. Since dermaplaning exfoliates and skims away dead skin cells and vellus hairs, it can optimize any other facial treatment that involves penetration through the skin. A chemical peel, IPL, or facial can penetrate deeper into the skin after dermaplaning, making these treatments more effective and long-lasting.

For Instance, the Hydrafacial efficiently cleanses the skin, extracts dead cells and debris from pores, and thoroughly hydrates your face. Our aestheticians apply expert technique throughout your facial while applying personalized healing serums that can travel deep into the skin after Dermaplaning. Dermaplaning is also a great way to prepare the skin for microneedling, helping growth factors to travel deeper into the dermis and allowing this procedure to stimulate greater collagen production. Dermaplaning is a great way to prepare the skin for many other treatments at Transform MD that promote and maintain a youthful glow.

There is no downtime required for dermaplaning in Cincinnati. Although you might experience some mild irritation for a few days post-treatment, this is temporary and can be minimized by using a gentle cleanser and moisturizer while following our post-care guidelines..

While nicks and scrapes from the dermaplaning treatment are rare, they are possible as the treatment involves gently scraping your top layer of skin. These are not deep and only last for 24 to 48 hours.
