Your New Favorite Skincare Treatment in Boca: Dermaplaning

Dead skin. Peach Fuzz. Unwanted fine hair. What if we told you that our aesthetics team at Green Dermatology & Cosmetic Center, a premier medical and cosmetic dermatology center near Boca, can easily get rid of these three things for you?

We can!

Through an exfoliation method called Dermaplaning, a surgical blade is used to gently scrape off the top layer of dead skin cells, as well as peach fuzz and fine hair, leaving clients with a bright, smooth complexion that absorbs products such as makeup, moisturizers, and other skincare products, much more readily and easier.

It’s safe and effective for all skin types, and can even be applied to women who are pregnant or lactating; however, it is not recommended for acne-prone skin.

The Dermaplaning treatment is a simple process; in fact, it’s incredibly restful, relaxing and rejuvenating. Clients simply lie down and let their aesthetician do all the work. While it may sound painful to have a sharp blade scraping away at your face, you can barely feel anything during the procedure. Dare we say it’s even…soothing? This safe and effective treatment is essential for maintaining your skin.

According to an article in Cosmopolitan, Dermaplaning is necessary because the buildup of dead skin and microscopic hairs can cause the skin to appear dull, flaky, and clogged pore and hair follicles can cause breakouts. And don’t worry, what they say about shaving causing hair to grow back thicker, faster and darker is not true when it comes to Dermaplaning. The article states that the hair may just feel different because it was bluntly cut straight across, but the texture has not changed, nor has the speed of growth.

We’ve already touched briefly on some of the major benefits of Dermaplaning, such as how simple the entire treatment is. However, as simple as it is, it is not something you want to try on your own with a regular razor — it’s not the same thing. Leave it to the professionals and their medical-grade tools.

We also mentioned that there is virtually no downtime. You’ll be in and out of the office in less than an hour and can go on with your day as planned. Slight redness may occur in some patients, but that is not always the case. While you don’t have to worry about downtime, it is important to pay extra attention to the SPF application after Dermaplaning. As the Cosmo article states, your skin is especially susceptible to the harmful effects sun after an exfoliation treatment.

One of the most beneficial features of Dermaplaning is how it affects the application of products to the skin. Since the surface of your complexion will be infinitely more smooth post-treatment, and there are no dead skin cells or tiny hairs to get in the way, products will slide right on, perform more effectively, and look better too!

Results can last for up to four weeks, so monthly appointments are recommended for maintenance. Are you looking for the best Dermaplaning in Boca and its surrounding area? Our team has you covered. Call us at to book an appointment with one of our aestheticians or request online.
