Dermaplaning gently exfoliates your skin, removing dead cells and fine peach fuzz to reveal a smoother, more even complexion. With the smoother texture and no hairs in the way, makeup lays down more evenly without all the clumping. Plus, you use less makeup for the same great results!
However, dermaplaning in Overland Park does more than brighten your skin. It actively softens the look of raised scars for a naturally refreshed appearance. Request a consultation, and let Regain Functional Medicine + Aesthetics examine the scars.
Dermaplaning may be your simple solution to reduce the scarring and improve your confidence.
How Dermaplaning Works
Using a surgical-grade steel blade, sometimes called a dermatome, your provider glides the blade across your skin at a 45-degree angle. This gently removes the outermost layer of dead skin along with any peach fuzz (vellus hair).
As dermaplaning exfoliates, it smooths out uneven textures and diminishes the appearance of hypertrophic scarring. This kind of scarring happens when skin over-produces collagen during the healing process, creating ridges or lifted areas.
Hypertrophic scars can be caused by several different skin events, including:
- Acne
- Trauma
- Burns
- Surgery
Dermaplaning reduces the collagen buildup while also stimulating your body to produce new skin cells that further even out skin texture.
A Note About Acne Scarring
Dermaplaning can also directly target smaller, deeper scars caused by cystic acne. The treatment softens scar edges, blending them into the surrounding skin for a more uniform look.
While it won’t completely eliminate all scars, dermaplaning in Leawood can create a noticeable improvement.
When combined with other treatments, including laser skin resurfacing, medical-grade skincare product and supplements, and RF microneedling, you can effectively address acne scars.
