Over the last decade, dermaplaning as a facial aesthetic treatment has seen an exponential rise in popularity.

In short, dermaplaning is a gentle exfoliation treatment where hair and dead skin are skimmed from the face with a fine blade, providing the skin with a smoother appearance.

That said, whilst the process might sound similar to shaving your face, dermaplaning is different in that it uses a small blade ‘to slough off dead skin cells in addition to removing wispy facial hair, so skin is more even in tone and texture’. This leaves you with a more radiant and youthful complexion. 

If you’ve never had dermaplaning before, you might not be aware of the many benefits associated with this treatment.

The benefits of dermaplaning include, but are not limited to:

  1. Rejuvenated and glowy skin
  2. It allows makeup to be applied more smoothly
  3. It’s a cost-effective treatment
  4. It minimises the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles

1. Rejuvenated & Glowy Skin

Arguably one of the main benefits of facial dermaplaning is the rejuvenated and glowy skin it provides, helping you to achieve the aesthetic trend known as ‘glass skin’.

The process of dermaplaning works to remove fine hairs and dead skin cells from the skin’s surface, leaving you with rejuvenated skin without you needing a more invasive procedure.

As such, dermaplaning is the perfect treatment for beginners or those who prefer manual exfoliation as opposed to chemical exfoliation which is achieved through chemical peels.

2. It Allows Makeup To Be Applied More Smoothly

The benefits of dermaplaning also include improved makeup application, as the treatment helps makeup apply more smoothly.

With modern beauty trends preferring lightweight, 'no make-up' looking makeup, dermaplaning goes hand in hand with achieving dewy, glowing skin. 

This largely comes down to the fact that the aesthetic treatment of dermaplaning removes dead skin as well as peach fuzz, meaning you can apply your makeup with ease. 

Instead of liquid products such as foundation and concealer sticking to the hairs on your face, resulting in your makeup looking cakey, dermaplaning allows you to apply makeup effortlessly for a flawless finish every time. 

3. It’s A Cost-Effective Treatment 

The benefits of facial dermaplaning also include its economic advantages, as it's a highly cost-effective treatment. 

Depending on the clinic that you go to, ‘dermaplaning treatments can cost upwards of £40 for a session, with repeat appointments recommended every four-to-six weeks’.

However, when you consider that a round of chemical peels can cost £500 for medium depth peels, and as much as ‘£2000 for the most expensive and advanced deep peels’, dermaplaning is a relatively cheaper manual exfoliation alternative. 

As such, if you’re looking for a minimally invasive, more affordable option to keep your skin radiant, dermaplaning might be the answer for you.

4. It Minimises The Appearance Of Fine Lines & Wrinkles

Last, but not least, the benefits of dermaplaning include minimising the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, making it a great preventative aesthetic treatment.  

As we age, it’s normal for our skin to look a bit dull and lifeless. Dermaplaning removes dead skin, revealing new skin cells, therefore leaving you with a more youthful complexion that makes it appear as if you’re glowing from within. 

Additionally, it can also reduce the appearance of ‘acne scars or pitted skin’, so if you’ve struggled with scarring in the past, dermaplaning can be a great way to achieve healthy-looking skin.
