Who is not suitable for dermaplaning?
Can anyone get dermaplaning?
We understand the appeal. What is there not to like about dermaplane? It’s a non-invasive skin resurfacing treatment that yields fabulous results! However, not everyone is suitable for dermaplaning.
Physically compromised skin is not suitable. For example, clients with a medical skin condition such as psoriasis, eczema, or other forms of dermatitis. Also, clients with severe cystic acne accompanied by inflammation in the skin or infections are not eligible for dermaplane.
Dermaplane with caution
Other types of contraindications exist where we can proceed with caution. For example, we take additional safety measures when dermaplaning on clients that have blood coagulating abnormalities. The reason for this is that these clients bleed more profusely and don’t clot properly.
Additional measures are also taken when dermaplaning on clients that have senile skin.
What can you do instead of dermaplaning?
If you are not eligible for a dermaplaning treatment, there are other resurfacing treatment options.
Chemical resurfacing
If you are unable to get dermaplaning due to mechanical compromise, you may benefit from chemical exfoliation. Chemical peels are a great alternative. A chemical peel is the application of a product that soaks in and dissolves the dead skin.
If what you were hoping to achieve with dermaplane is brightening, then go for an alphahydroxy-based peel. For those not eligible for demaplane due to acne, a betahydroxy acid peel is a great way to pretreat and prepare the skin for future dermaplane.
Light-based resurfacing
Photofacials are a light-based form of resurfacing. Photofacials target the structural cells of the skin which then regenerate and cause the old ones to move up and shed.
Milder options
If you are unable to get dermaplaning and are looking for a milder option than the aformentioned treatments, a facial could do the trick.
Facials involve deep cleansing and exfoliation by means of scrub exfoliants or enzymatic exfoliants. Peel boost containing alpha hydroxy or beta hydroxy acids are highly recommended in order to achieve as close brightening results as possible to a dermaplaning treatment.
Hair removal
If the hair removal benefits is what a client is looking for in dermaplaning, we recommend waxing or IPL hair removal.
