Dermaplaning and shaving are similar in method, so we can see why they may appear to be interchangeable services. The skincare experts at Belladerm MedSpa are here to identify the key differences between these treatments and how you should be practicing them.

What is Dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning is an exfoliating facial treatment that gets rid of debris, buildup, and vellus hair also known as “peach fuzz”. At Belladerm MedSpa, our advanced practice aestheticians use a medical-grade scalpel to exfoliate the skin. This treatment is quick, painless, and does a lot more than you may think!

How is it Different from Shaving?

While shaving is effective in removing unwanted hair, dermaplaning effectively exfoliates the skin while also removing vellus hair. When done by a professional, this scalpel exfoliation results in a broad rejuvenation of the treated area.

Dermaplaning Benefits

This precise removal of unwanted dead skin cells accelerates skin cell rejuvenation. The skincare benefits of Dermaplaning include:

• Provides smaller and clearer pores
• Targets fine lines and wrinkles
• Promotes an even skin tone
• Assists with acne-prone skin

When exfoliating the top layer of skin, you’re increasing your skincare regimen’s effectiveness by allowing your products to penetrate deeper. In addition, cosmetic applications go on smoother post dermaplaning treatment.

Can I Combine Dermaplaning with Other Treatments?

You can combine dermaplaning with other complimentary treatments. Here at Belladerm MedSpa, we offer dermaplaning as an add-on to classic facial treatments, HydraFacials™, and chemical peels.

Am I a Good Candidate for Dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning is a safe and effective exfoliating facial treatment that benefits almost any skin type, even candidates with sensitive skin. We encourage scheduling a skin analysis with one of our trusted skincare experts to determine a treatment plan specifically for you.

If you’re looking for an overall rejuvenated appearance, dermaplaning may be right for you. We encourage you to schedule an appointment or request a free consultation to restore your youthful glow with this modern exfoliating facial treatment.

As the holidays approach, gift-giving anxiety may begin to set in. The holidays are a time to show those that matter most just how important they are, which is why there is pressure to find the perfect gift that expresses just that. Continue reading our blog to discover why a gift card is a perfect present.

Flexibility

Giving a gift card is a great way to ensure your loved one gets exactly what they want this year. Purchasing a gift card completely takes the guesswork out of finding the perfect present while still gifting more than cash. In addition to the flexibility behind the actual purchase, they also can choose the perfect time to redeem their gift card.

Stick to Your Budget

Gift cards are a great way to ensure you stay on budget. You no longer have to spend that “little extra something” for the perfect present when you can decide for yourself just how much you want to load onto the gift card. Giving a gift card ensures you stick to your original plan.

Treat Yourself

For some, putting money towards themselves isn’t a thought that crosses their mind. Between children, groceries, and bills, there doesn’t seem to be a reason to spend extra money on something that isn’t necessary. By giving the gift of a gift card, you are giving your loved one the reason they need to treat themselves.

Environmentally Friendly

It’s believed that as long as there is a gift receipt in the bag, a loved one can return the present and buy themselves something they truly want. Recent studies have shown this isn’t true. Whether the gift is never returned, or the return date is missed, each year, 5 billion pounds of holiday presents end up in a landfill. By purchasing a gift card for your family and friends, you no longer contribute to this statistic.

Belladerm Gift cards can be applied to any skincare product or services.
