Am I a Good Candidate for Dermaplaning?
Not everyone is a good candidate for dermaplaning. If you have active acne, a sunburn, rosacea or highly sensitive skin, or if you’ve recently used Accutane, other treatments are better for you. Your doctor can help you choose the right treatments to refresh and rejuvenate your skin.The ideal candidate for dermaplaning has one or more of the following:- Aging skin
- Dry skin
- Fine lines
- Rough skin
- Shallow acne scars
- Superficial hyperpigmentation (differences in skin color that lie close to the surface of the skin)
- Uneven skin tone
Is Dermaplaning Safe?
When performed by a properly trained physician, dermaplaning is safe for most people. In fact, it’s as safe as shaving your legs is. (Just remember, it’s not the right treatment for everyone; people with sensitive skin, active acne and a handful of other conditions are better off with other treatments.)Are There Side Effects From Dermaplaning?
Your face may be slightly red after dermaplaning, and the redness may last for a few hours. Some people develop whiteheads in the first day or two after dermaplaning, but those typically resolve themselves quickly.
