Dermaplaning In Poughkeepsie, NY & Danbury, CT

Introduction

Introduction to Dermaplaning

When both external stressors and the natural aging process impact the skin, it can lead to a dull complexion. Over time, as the body produces less of vital compounds like collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid, the pores can become congested with dirt, oil, and dead cells, leading to a rough, uneven skin texture. At Tania Cohen Dermatology in Poughkeepsie, NY, and Danbury, CT, we perform state-of-the-art dermaplaning treatments to revitalize your appearance and eradicate surface-level damage.

What Is Dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning is a system of manual exfoliation that removes fine vellus hairs (also called peach fuzz), debris, and dead skin cells without relying on lasers, injectables, chemicals, or acids. This non-invasive and non-surgical treatment makes it easier for patients to apply makeup and medical-grade skincare products. During your session, a specialized razor-like tool is moved across the skin’s surface to peel away the outer damaged layer and eradicate fine hairs simultaneously. Dermaplaning is an excellent solution for poor skin texture and tone, hyperpigmentation, wrinkles, lines, and acne scarring.

Who Are the Best Candidates For Dermaplaning?

It is suggested for patients who wish to eliminate fine vellus hairs, blemishes, and skin damage with minimal discomfort or downtime. You will be provided with a detailed consultation to make sure that dermaplaning is the right fit for your goals. Please note that the treatment is not suitable for those with eczema, psoriasis, skin cancer, active acne, active skin infections, or cold sores.

What’s the First Step?

To begin your dermaplaning treatment journey in Poughkeepsie, NY, and Danbury, CT, you will sit down with your provider for a private and informative consultation. During this initial visit, the doctor will assess your skin quality, review your medical history, and address all your questions with care and precision. She will go over the risks, downtime, costs, and potential results for dermaplaning, making sure that your expectations are grounded in reality. Once the doctor has approved your candidacy, we will schedule your treatment date and provide you with specific guidelines on how to prepare for your session.

What to Expect on the Day of Dermaplaning Treatment

On the day of your dermaplaning treatment, you will be welcomed into our Poughkeepsie, NY, and Danbury, CT offices and placed in a comfortable treatment room. We will briefly review your goals and answer any last-minute questions. Unlike laser-related skin resurfacing techniques, dermaplaning causes minimal irritation or discomfort, ensuring a stress-free aesthetic journey. To begin, we will use a sterile blade at a 45° angle, moving it back and forth to gently remove the outer layer of dead skin cells from the complexion. We will eradicate surface-level peach fuzz that can contribute to a dull complexion. The entire process takes around 30 minutes to complete.

Dermaplaning Recovery

After your session, you will notice that the pores are unclogged, and the collagen rebuilding process has begun. At this stage, rejuvenating serums can be applied, which can now penetrate the skin more effectively. Patients can immediately notice a brighter, smoother, and clearer skin appearance. Mild short-term side effects include redness, tingling, and swelling. However, these symptoms are not significant enough to prevent you from returning right away to your normal schedule. After your session, your skin will be especially sensitive to bright sun, so be sure to wear a broad-spectrum sunblock when outdoors. Results usually last three weeks or more. Some patients may require multiple sessions to achieve their unique cosmetic goals.

How Much Does Dermaplaning Cost in Poughkeepsie, NY, and Danbury, CT?
