Why Dermaplaning Is the Perfect Addition to Your Skincare Routine

Dermaplaning is a popular skincare treatment offered at Glo Med Spa & Wellness by our experienced team, led by Dr. Juan Ivan Ramirez, MD. It gives a smoother, brighter complexion and creates a more even canvas for makeup. However, the timing of this treatment in your skincare regimen requires careful consideration.

Dermaplaning at Glo Med Spa & Wellness offers numerous benefits:

• It removes dead skin cells, unveiling a smoother, fresher, brighter complexion.
• It eliminates fine vellus hair, or ‘peach fuzz’, enhancing makeup application.
• It boosts product absorption, allowing our high-quality skincare products to penetrate deeper and work more effectively.

The optimal timing for skincare and dermaplaning at our center depends on your skin type and tolerance. However, it’s generally recommended to perform your skincare routine after dermaplaning. This order ensures that skincare products can penetrate the skin as effectively as possible.

For those with sensitive skin, it is advisable to cleanse the skin, perform dermaplaning at our center, and then proceed with the rest of your skincare routine. This minimizes irritation and gives the skin time to adjust to the treatment.

Incorporating dermaplaning into the evening skincare routine can benefit those with normal to oily skin. After thorough cleansing and exfoliating, dermaplaning removes any remaining debris and prepares the skin for nighttime treatment with serums and moisturizers.

Regardless of skin type, ensuring proper care after dermaplaning is crucial. Because the process involves the removal of the top layer of your skin, your skin may be more sensitive than usual. Therefore:

• Avoid using harsh products or those that contain strong active ingredients for at least 48 hours after dermaplaning at our med spa.
• Opt for gentle cleansers and hydrating products to nourish, soothe, and protect your skin.
• Use sunscreen to shield the delicate skin from UV damage.

The optimal sequence for skincare and dermaplaning varies according to skin type and tolerance. However, for most effective results, it’s generally recommended to do your skincare routine after dermaplaning.

At Glo Med Spa & Wellness in Austin, TX, under the expert guidance of Dr. Juan Ivan Ramirez, MD, we offer a variety of advanced skincare treatments, including dermaplaning. This skincare method has rapidly gained recognition in the beauty industry due to its ability to exfoliate the skin, removing dead skin cells and tiny vellus hairs, or peach fuzz.

Dermaplaning stimulates your skin’s natural rejuvenation process, potentially reducing the appearance of fine lines and sun damage with regular treatments.

The immediate aftermath of dermaplaning may include redness and slight irritation. We always advise our patients to be vigilant about using sunscreen post-treatment, as the skin may be more susceptible to sun damage. Dermaplaning results are temporary and require repeat treatments for maintenance.

While dermaplaning might not address the underlying causes of skin aging, many of our patients have reported immediate improvements in their skin following a treatment. The skin often appears brighter, and smoother, and makeup application is enhanced.

While dermaplaning at Glo Med Spa & Wellness can indeed improve skin appearance by enhancing cellular turnover and product absorption, it may not be a long-term solution for skin concerns such as aging or acne. Dr. Ramirez and his team are always ready to consult with you to determine if dermaplaning or another treatment is suitable for your skin type.

At Glo Med Spa & Wellness in Austin, Texas, led by Dr. Juan Ivan Ramirez MD, we understand the importance of personalized skincare treatments. While dermaplaning, a cosmetic procedure that involves gently scraping the surface of the skin to reveal a smoother complexion, has gained popularity in recent years, it’s a treatment that our professionals approach with caution.

There’s limited scientific evidence supporting the long-term benefits of dermaplaning on skin health, and it does not address underlying skin concerns such as acne, wrinkles, or hyperpigmentation, which Dr. Ramirez and his team focus on treating.

Dermaplaning is a form of physical exfoliation, in which the surgical blade used can cause micro-tears in the skin, these micro-injuries can compromise the skin’s natural barrier, leading to redness, irritation, inflammation, and potential scarring. This is something Dr. Ramirez is particularly cautious about, prioritizing patient safety above all else.

While some dermatologists may occasionally incorporate dermaplaning into their practice for specific purposes, it’s not a treatment that’s suitable for everyone.

We are proud to offer a range of medical spa services, including the increasingly popular dermaplaning procedure. Dr. Juan Ivan Ramirez, MD, and our team of experienced professionals are committed to providing high-quality treatments that promote healthier, radiant skin.

As a cosmetic procedure, dermaplaning has gained significant popularity due to its numerous benefits, including enhanced skin radiance, improved makeup application, and reduced visible signs of aging. This treatment effectively removes the top layer of dead skin cells, peach fuzz, and surface impurities, promoting smoother, brighter skin. By removing this layer, skincare products can penetrate more deeply, enhancing their absorption and effectiveness, and in turn, making your skincare routine more effective.

Dermaplaning also stimulates collagen production, a protein that provides skin structure and firmness. This can result in a reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, giving the skin a more youthful glow. It also plays a significant role in reducing hyperpigmentation, such as sun spots and age spots. The scraping off the top layer of skin removes damaged skin cells, promoting the gradual fading of these discolorations and resulting in a more evenly toned complexion.

Acne sufferers can also benefit from dermaplaning. This procedure assists in reducing breakouts by clearing clogged pores of dead skin cells and excess sebum, creating a less hospitable environment for acne-causing bacteria.

In the hands of our certified and experienced professionals, dermaplaning is a safe and non-invasive exfoliation method suitable for most skin types. We understand the procedure’s nuances and perform it with the utmost care, ensuring that our clients experience no unwanted side effects like cuts or skin irritation.
