How Often Can You Do Dermablading?
Dermablading is a facial that can be performed as frequently as every four weeks. Factors such as your age and skin type may determine how frequently you can have this treatment. For example, mature people who have a slower cellular turnover may need to schedule treatments every six weeks, or those with oily skin types may need this treatment every three weeks.
The best way to determine the ideal frequency for your dermablade facial is to have a skin analysis with a certified dermatologist or esthetician. By analyzing the needs of your skin and including factors such as the skin care products you use and your skin concerns, you can pinpoint the best treatment frequency so you can achieve all of your goals.
Dermablade Facial: FAQs
Is This Facial Safe for Sensitive Skin?
Because a dermaplane facial can be customized to your skin type, it is an ideal treatment for those who have sensitive skin. There are a few markers of sensitive skin, such as high reactivity to skin care products, redness, tightness, dryness, and inflammation. You may also have sensitive skin if you burn easily under the sun.
Skin sensitivity can be caused by a few things, such as a genetic predisposition, a very light skin tone, or a damaged moisture barrier. You may have a damaged moisture barrier if you use strong active ingredients such as chemical exfoliants and retinoids frequently. Restoring your moisture barrier may take time and will involve altering your normal exfoliation methods, such as by replacing chemical exfoliants with a professional facial.
Can You Use a Dermablade Facial If You Have Rosacea?
One of the unique things about a dermablade facial is the fact that people who suffer from rosacea can also use this treatment. Rosacea is a chronic skin condition that often causes skin sensitivity, acne-like pustules, redness, inflammation, and a thickening of the skin as the condition progresses.
People who have rosacea typically can’t use certain types of facials to treat the skin and may not be able to use certain skin care products. However, dermablading is a treatment that can gently exfoliate the skin to improve redness and inflammation for people who have rosacea. Some people may be able to combine this facial with other treatments for rosacea to better manage the skin condition.
How Does This Facial Work?
A dermaplane facial is an exfoliating treatment that removes the upper layer of skin cells and peach fuzz from the skin. This is a non-invasive treatment that can be customized to match the needs of your skin texture and skin type
A dermablading facial works by using a thin, sterile surgical blade to gently scrape away the topmost layer of skin cells to refresh the appearance and texture of the skin. During this process, peach fuzz on the surface of your skin will also be removed, which will produce a smoother texture for your skin. Usually, this facial can be completed in under 30 minutes.
What Can You Expect During Treatment?
During your treatment, the first steps will include removing any makeup or sunscreen you are currently wearing, discussing your skincare goals, and using the surgical blade to exfoliate your skin. Your treatment may be finished with a soothing serum, hydrating serum, sunscreen, or other skincare product that can soothe your skin and promote a healthy glow.
How Should You Prepare for Treatment?
To prepare for any exfoliating treatment, the most important rule to follow is to discontinue the use of other exfoliating products in your at-home skincare regimen. For example, you should not use salicylic acid, like glycolic acid, retinoids, or other BHAs or AHAs about one week before your dermablade facial. You will also need to avoid manual exfoliants that may cause skin irritation.
Will You Have Aftercare Guidelines?
After your treatment, it’s best to treat your skin gently and use fragrance-free, alcohol-free products to cleanse and moisturize your skin. You will need to continue to avoid retinoids and chemical exfoliants in your skin care products for at least another week. You also need to wear sunscreen every day to protect your skin.
During the first 12 to 24 hours, you will not be allowed to use makeup either. You should also avoid sweating, direct heat, hot water, and direct sun exposure for the first few days after your treatment.
How Soon Will You See the Results?
One of the lovely things about dermablading is the fact that you can see your results on the same day as your treatment. Immediately after your appointment, your skin will look smoother, brighter, and more radiant. These results will continue to improve over the next few days, with your results peaking about one week after your treatment.
How Long Will Results Last?
The results of this facial will generally last for about two or three weeks. During this time, you will be able to enjoy a smooth, bright complexion.
Because the results of this facial are temporary, you will generally be able to have as many treatments as you want to maintain your optimal results.
How Can You Maintain Your Results?
Since the results of this facial will not last longer than a month, you may be motivated to find ways you can maintain your results or help your results last longer. Fortunately, there are several things you can do to improve the overall health and appearance of your skin so you can enjoy results for as long as possible. Some of these things include:
Skincare
Using high-quality skin care products that are selected for your specific skin type, skin tone, and skin concerns is the best way to maintain your results. This means that you should use products that contain active ingredients such as niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, collagen, and retinol to maintain your ideal skin. Sometimes, vitamin C or other peptides can also improve your skin health and appearance.
Your skin care product should be used consistently to get the best results. For example, you need to wash and moisturize your face at least twice a day to remove dirt, oil, bacteria, and makeup. For products that contain active ingredients, the frequency of use can be as often as every day, once a day, every other day, or only a few times a week depending on how well your skin responds to the product.
Suncare
Using adequate sun care can also be a way you can maintain long-lasting results after your dermablade facial. Sunscreen rated between 30 and 50 SPF is generally an ideal strength for most skin types and skin tones. If you have sensitive skin or skin that burns easily in the sun, using a higher SPF is usually a good idea.
When you are choosing between SPF, you will have the option of choosing a mineral-based sunscreen or chemical-based sunscreen. Although some people may have moderate reactions to chemical-based sunscreens, these products tend to offer a more consistent level of sun protection without causing a white cast on the skin.
Lifestyle
Finally, revising some of your lifestyle habits can also help your results last for as long as possible. For example, having a clean diet, reducing sugar intake, and drinking plenty of water can all benefit the health of your skin. Reducing smoking and alcohol consumption are also ways you can improve your skin appearance.
What Are the Benefits of Dermablading?
Dermablade facials have many benefits that are attractive to patients. This facial is compatible with almost all skin types and skin tones and offers a level of customization that can help you achieve aesthetic goals. This facial is also compatible with other aesthetic treatments, including chemical peels, hydrating facials, and some forms of energy-related facials.
One of the best benefits of dermablade facials is the ability to enhance the absorption of your skincare products. When you remove the layer of peach fuzz and hair from the surface of the skin, the active ingredients in your skincare products can have a more dramatic effect on your skin condition. This can be particularly important if you are using active ingredients to reduce the visible signs of aging or acne. Other benefits include:
Anti-Aging
This exfoliating facial is an ideal option for those who are struggling with anti-aging concerns, including skin laxity, fine lines, and dark spots from previous sun exposure. This is because this facial will moderately increase collagen production for a short time, which will plump the appearance of your skin.
Anti-Scarring
This facial is also ideal for reducing the appearance of certain types of scars, such as acne scars. Scarring can also include post-acne marks such as post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and post-inflammatory erythema.
Anti-Pigmentation
If you are struggling with pigmentation concerns related to sun damage, previous skin injuries, or other causes for uneven skin tone, this facial can be a good option for you. Because this facial will remove the surface layer of skin cells, it will gradually improve the overall tone of your skin as new, unblemished skin cells are revealed.
Anti-Acne
Finally, this facial may also be good for those who are struggling with acne. Sometimes, acne conditions can worsen when hair follicles and dead skin cells trap oil and bacteria in the pores. By removing surface hair and dead skin cells, you may be able to reduce your breakouts.
Are You a Good Candidate?
Candidates for this treatment can include any adult who wants to improve the overall texture and pigment of their skin. This treatment can be used by pregnant women, those who have sensitive skin, and those who may have other skin challenges such as acne or age-related concerns. You can use this treatment throughout the year to maintain a healthy glow for your skin.
