Dermaplaning is an aesthetic service that helps stimulate collagen production by removing dead skin cells from the skin’s surface. At My Doctors Live Medispa, we work to rejuvenate your skin through highly sought-after treatments and the latest aesthetic services throughout the Lakeland, Florida community.
What is Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning exfoliates the top layer of skin using a scalpel. As a popular treatment, dermaplaning gently removes dead skin cells and peach fuzz on the skin’s surface, leaving behind a smoother, softer feel to your skin. Exfoliating the skin cells allows skin serums and other moisturizers to penetrate deeper, making your skin healthier and better. It’s considered highly effective at minimizing fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scars over time through multiple sessions. This process encourages new skin cells to produce collagen and elastin to fight off signs of aging and reduce acne scars.
- What are the side effects of dermaplaning? – No downtime is needed; most patients may experience redness and irritated skin after the procedure. It is a highly safe procedure with no adverse risks.
- Does dermaplaning hurt? – During your treatment with My Doctors Live Medispa, our nurse practitioner, Mara Gomez, APRN, can gently scrape the surface of your skin, removing fine hairs and dead cells through quick strokes, making it entirely painless.
- How often should I get dermaplaning? – Dermaplaning takes 30-45 minutes per session and can be performed every 3-4 weeks.
- How much is dermaplaning? – Our dermaplaning sessions cost $65 per visit.
- Can you add other treatments to dermaplaning? – Our dermaplaning procedures can be combined with facials, serums, chemical peels, and other treatments to enhance your skin’s brightness and reduce the risk of scarring.
- How long does dermaplaning last? – Dermaplaning results last about three to four weeks, as long as the skin’s rejuvenation cycle. As dead skin cells rebuild over time, repeated treatments are recommended.
