Dermaplaning in Texarkana

Also referred to as “dermablading,” this treatment uses a specialized surgical blade to remove the topmost layers of your skin. This removes dead cells from the epidermis along with the vellum hairs that form “peach fuzz.” If you have darker facial hair that you want to remove, an appointment for dermaplaning in Texarkana may be perfect for you.

Compared to other exfoliation methods, dermaplaning is performed by one of our professional aestheticians, ensuring maximum precision. The surgical blade can reach lower than at-home, manual techniques, giving you smoother skin.

For removal of peach fuzz, dermaplaning can be more effective than shaving because it can also shrink pores. By reducing the size of the follicles around your vellum hairs, you can reduce the appearance of your peach fuzz over time.

Unfortunately, no. Just like shaving, any hair that you remove with a blade will eventually return. However, ReNew Integrated Medical Spa offers other solutions to dark or thick facial hair. Our team can provide you with Laser Hair Removal to remove hair down to the base follicle. With proper maintenance, you can permanently reduce the appearance of peach fuzz.

Even after receiving one of these laser procedures, we still recommend coming in for a dermaplaning appointment. Ensuring your epidermis is free of dead skin can help keep your hair-free skin as radiant as possible.

In the days leading up to your appointment for dermaplaning in Texarkana, you should take steps to protect your skin from extra damage. Avoid exposure to sunlight for 2 weeks, using sunscreen whenever you must go outside for any period. Stop using exfoliating products and techniques for at least 3 days prior to your visit.

If you have an active acne breakout, we may not recommend dermaplaning to you. The surgical blade may spread bacteria to other parts of the face. We can either wait until the current breakout ends or schedule you for a different skincare appointment, such as our LED light therapy.

Almost any treatment is combinable with dermaplaning. In fact, we often encourage patients to receive a dermaplaning treatment before receiving chemical peels and facials. When you remove that dead skin on the surface, you allow the serums and chemicals from those treatments to sink more deeply into your skin.

For chemical peels, specifically, a prior appointment for dermaplaning in Texarkana helps improve penetration at any level of intensity. Perhaps you want to address more major skin concerns with a deep peel. Starting off with a dermaplaning visit can help reduce the amount of time we leave the chemicals on your skin.

This depends on the length of your unique skin cycle. Every patient’s skin cells rejuvenate after different amounts of time, though 4 weeks is the average length of a full cycle. This is typically when we recommend you come in for another dermaplaning appointment to keep your skin bright and smooth.

Absolutely. Although some patients worry about being nicked by the blade, we expertly maneuver the blade to prevent any cuts. Many have reported this treatment as feeling almost ticklish while the surgical blade glides over the face.

The most you may typically experience after your appointment is mild redness or irritation. If you have highly sensitive skin, such as advanced eczema, we may not recommend treatment. This is to avoid irritating your skin further.
