Dermaplaning in Kansas City

Recently becoming a trendy option for individuals looking to freshen up their look, Dermaplaning is used to exfoliate dead skin cells from the face. This non-invasive treatment is performed by a licensed aesthetician and uses a surgical grade scalpel to shave off the top layer of skin, the dead skin, and any peach fuzz present on the face. It is a quick and pain-free treatment that requires no downtime. Our team would be honored to provide you with satisfying results. After exploring our Online Education Center on Dermaplaning Kansas City residents and visitors are encouraged to contact us at Quinn Aesthetic Center to schedule a consultation to learn more about your options.

What is Dermaplaning?

In a Dermaplaning procedure, your aesthetic specialist gently exfoliates the top layer of your facial skin by planing away dead skin cells and fine hair with a scalpel. Dermaplaning boosts cellular turnover, makes it easier for skincare products to penetrate your skin, and creates a smoother palette for makeup application.

  • Cellular turnover – By exfoliating the dead skin, it allows for cellular turnover, which simply replaces the dead skin cells with newer cells. This is what helps your skin feel smooth and look fresh.
  • Better product penetration – By removing that layer of dead skin cells prior to a treatment such as a hydrafacial or chemical peel, it allows for the product to achieve optimal results.
  • Makeup application – a routine dermaplane allows for makeup to be applied smoother and more evenly

What aesthetic issues does Dermaplaning address?

Dermaplaning offers a range of benefits to address various skin concerns. Here's how it can help:

  • Dullness and Uneven Texture: By removing the top layer of dead skin cells, Dermaplaning buffs away the buildup that can make your complexion look lackluster and rough. This reveals a smoother, brighter, and more radiant appearance.
  • Fine Lines and Wrinkles: While Dermaplaning won't eliminate deep wrinkles, it can soften the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by promoting cell turnover and stimulating collagen production. This plumps the skin, creating a smoother surface.
  • Large Pores: Dermaplaning can help minimize the appearance of enlarged pores by removing excess oil and debris trapped within them. This can lead to a more refined and even-toned complexion.
  • Peach Fuzz (Vellus Hair): Dermaplaning gently removes the fine vellus hair (peach fuzz) on your face. This can be especially beneficial for those who find this hair bothersome or feel it makes their makeup application uneven.
  • Improved Product Absorption: By removing the top layer of dead skin cells, Dermaplaning allows skincare products to penetrate deeper into the skin, maximizing their effectiveness.

It's important to note that Dermaplaning is not suitable for everyone. If you have active acne, rosacea, or severely sunburned skin, it's best to consult with a skincare specialist to determine if this treatment is right for you.

What are the Benefits of Dermaplaning?

While the trend is definitely apparent, there’s more to it than a relaxing Kansas City spa treatment. There are some major benefits to having a licensed aesthetician perform this treatment. Some of these benefits are:

  • FDA-Approved Treatment: Dermaplaning is a safe, FDA-approved procedure designed to gently exfoliate your skin and leave it looking its best.
  • Promotes Natural Oil Balance: By removing dead skin cells and debris, dermaplaning helps your skin regulate and produce its natural oils, keeping it hydrated and healthy.
  • Cleans Pores Thoroughly: This treatment effectively removes dirt, makeup residue, and other impurities trapped in your pores, leaving your skin refreshed and clarified.
  • Reduces Breakouts: Removing built-up debris and dead skin helps minimize clogged pores, leading to fewer acne breakouts and a smoother complexion.
  • Smoother, More Radiant Skin: By eliminating dull, uneven texture, dermaplaning unveils the smoother, glowing skin beneath, giving you a naturally refreshed appearance.
  • Improves Skincare Absorption: Your skincare products can penetrate deeper and work more effectively when applied to freshly exfoliated skin.
  • Enhances Makeup Application: With a smoother canvas, makeup goes on more evenly and looks flawless, making it a favorite treatment before special events.

Your Journey Begins

Am I a Good Candidate for Dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning is ideal for anyone who has unwanted facial hair, a buildup of dead skin cells or is subject to acne breakouts. This treatment gets rid of all the excess debris and hair on the face, leaving you feeling clean and refreshed. Unlike harsher exfoliation methods, dermaplaning is gentle and non-invasive, making it ideal for individuals with sensitive skin or those who prefer a no-downtime solution. If you have active acne or certain skin conditions, we’ll work with you to explore other treatments that might be more suitable.

Good candidates for dermaplaning include those who:

  • Want to remove peach fuzz or fine facial hair
  • Struggle with a buildup of dead skin cells causing dullness
  • Experience uneven texture or mild acne scarring
  • Seek a non-invasive treatment with no downtime
  • Desire smoother skin for better makeup application or skincare results

The Dermaplaning Procedure at Quinn Aesthetic Center

Our Dermaplaning procedure is designed to be quick, comfortable, and relaxing. Here's what you can expect:

  1. Consultation: We'll begin with a consultation to discuss your skin concerns, desired outcome, and suitability for Dermaplaning.
  2. Cleansing: Your aesthetician will thoroughly cleanse your face to remove any makeup, oil, or impurities.
  3. Exfoliation: Using a sterile, medical-grade scalpel at a precise angle, your aesthetician will gently remove the top layer of dead skin cells and vellus hair (peach fuzz). This process is painless and feels similar to a light scraping sensation.
  4. Moisturizing: After exfoliation, a soothing moisturizer will be applied to hydrate your skin and promote healing.

The entire Dermaplaning procedure typically takes around 30 minutes.

Following your Dermaplaning treatment, it's important to be gentle with your skin. Here are some aftercare tips:
