Dermaplaning in Springfield, MO

Name: Dermaplaning
Brand: Shah Plastic Surgery
Rating: 4.5 (65 reviews)

Dermaplaning is a simple and pain-free treatment that exfoliates the surface of the facial skin with a gently applied cosmetic tool. The treatment removes dead skin cells and fine facial “peach fuzz”, or vellus hairs. These delicate facial hairs trap dirt and oil. Dermaplaning makes skin brighter and smoother — with no chemicals required.

What Does Dermaplaning Do for You?

Removes Fine, Fuzzy Facial Hair: Dermaplaning effectively removes vellus hair, commonly known as peach fuzz, from the face, resulting in a smoother and more polished skin surface.
Restores a Glowing Complexion: By gently exfoliating the top layer of dead skin cells, dermaplaning helps to reveal a fresher, brighter, and more radiant complexion.
Reduces the Risk of Acne Breakouts: The treatment unclogs pores and removes debris from the skin's surface, reducing the likelihood of acne breakouts and promoting clearer skin.

Allows Makeup to Be Applied More Smoothly: With the removal of dead skin cells and fine hair, makeup can be applied more evenly and smoothly, enhancing its appearance and longevity.
Improves Skin Texture and Tone: Dermaplaning enhances the overall texture and tone of the skin, making it feel softer and look more even, contributing to a more youthful appearance.
Increases Product Absorption: By removing the outer layer of dead skin cells, skincare products penetrate deeper and work more effectively, maximizing their benefits.

Do You Want Smoother, More Radiant Skin?

At our Springfield, Missouri office, dermaplaning is a safe and effective way to remove the outer layers of dead skin that can leave your complexion looking dull. The treatment is non-invasive and requires no chemicals or downtime. Your treatment will begin with a gentle cleansing, and then our skincare specialist will thoroughly dry your skin.

Next, the dermaplaning tool is gently applied to your skin at an angle. With short, delicate strokes, this tool will slowly scrape away the dull, dead skin cells and vellus hairs. Receiving dermaplaning in Springfield does not cause any discomfort and is a restful, pleasant treatment overall.

Can I Schedule Other Treatments with Dermaplaning?

It’s common to schedule other procedures in combination with dermaplaning. Many patients find that pairing dermaplaning with additional aesthetic procedures, such as lip augmentation or laser treatments, enhances the overall impact. Following dermaplaning, a custom serum can be applied, penetrating deeply into the freshly exfoliated skin to boost hydration, radiance, and health. This combination leaves the skin smoother, glowing, and perfectly prepped to absorb the nutrients and active ingredients in follow-up treatments for a comprehensive skin rejuvenation experience.

Can I Attend an Event After Dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning is an excellent option for anyone that may be attending an important social event such as a wedding, reunion, or baby shower. You will leave your treatment with a refreshed appearance. Dermaplaning in Springfield also helps your skin absorb your daily skincare products more deeply into the skin and provides a smooth palette for applying makeup. After the procedure, your skin may be slightly pink. It’s important to avoid any exfoliating scrubs for several days after your dermaplaning treatment. If attending an important event, schedule dermaplaning at least 24 to 48 hours before your special occasion.

What Should I Expect?

Dermaplaning is a non-invasive treatment that provides immediate results. You can expect to return to your routine activities immediately following your session. Results can be seen as soon as your treatment is finished. After removing dead skin cells and fine, vellus hairs, your skin will feel smooth and soft, with a fresh and natural glow.

Will My Hair Grow Back Darker?

Dermaplaning will not cause your hair to grow back darker or thicker. The brightness of your skin that is realized post-treatment might seem duller after the peach fuzz returns, which is usually in about 3 to 4 weeks. However, hair growth is not increased with this treatment.

How Many Treatments Will I Need?

The length of time your skin will look smoother and brighter depends on the individual. However, for consistent results, we schedule dermaplaning about once a month to promote healthy cell turnover and to ensure your skin remains hair-free, fresh, and glowing.
