Sometimes, the best way to achieve glowing skin isn’t another facial product—it’s a blade.
As seasons change, you may notice your skin looking more dull, despite your tried-and-true skin care regimen. It’s not necessarily your routine; it’s just that your skin likes to hold on to dead skin cells that contribute to hyperpigmentation, acne scars, and much more.
At Regain Functional Medicine + Aesthetics, we provide dermaplaning in Overland Park to improve skin texture and tone. Find out more in this article!
What is dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is a noninvasive treatment that uses a surgical-grade steel blade to exfoliate the top layer of your skin. Your provider will glide the sterile scalpel across your skin at a 45-degree angle, removing dead skin cells and unwanted facial hair (peach fuzz). This treatment stimulates collagen production, a protein in your body responsible for cellular turnover, and provides your skin with structure, strength, and support.
Can’t I just do this at home?
It’s common to see dermaplaning tools in beauty departments and drugstores. While it seems like an easy at-home treatment, it’s actually quite risky. For this treatment to work, it requires high-quality tools, a sterile environment, and experience. Doing this yourself might result in breakouts, infections, cuts, and scarring. It’s best to let a provider gently and effectively scrape away your concerns.
Benefits of Professional Dermaplaning
When you trust our skilled team, you leave with radiant and glowing skin. But the biggest benefit is that you don’t risk any severe side effects. Some patients may experience mild redness, pinkness, or itching immediately after their treatment, but that should resolve in 1 to 2 days and reveal smoother, brighter skin.
Dermaplaning can work on all skin tones and help with the following:
- Acne scarring
- Dull skin
- Unwanted facial hair
- Fine lines
Pair Your Dermaplaning Treatment
For lasting dermaplaning results, a professional’s guidance on treatments and products is key—another reason to choose expert care. Dermaplaning allows your skin to absorb special ingredients better, enhancing your daily routine or your regular facial. In fact, we almost always pair dermaplaning with a HydraFacial.
To support your skin’s health from the outside in, we recommend trying our IV therapy and vitamin injections, which deliver nutrients directly to your bloodstream. Because these treatments bypass the digestive system, you feel and see the effects quicker than with oral supplements. We recommend glutathione for skin protection and NAD+ for cellular regeneration and to address signs of aging.
