If you have decided that you are interested in a procedure to make your facial skin look more radiant, then dermaplaning is an option we would recommend.  Associated Plastic Surgeons of Kansas City is one of the top facilities if you are looking for dermaplaning in Kansas City. 

“Dermaplaning is not just a fancy way to say ‘face-shaving’.”

The procedure is done with the steady hand of a dermatologist or facialist using a small single blade.  Our patients that choose to have this procedure typically want to remove “peach fuzz” from their face, but dermaplaning in Kansas City does more than that.  After the procedure is complete, you will notice more benefits than just hair-removal as you will now have cleaner, glowing skin. 

Dermaplaning Compared to Microdermabrasion  

Many people think that microdermabrasion is the same as dermaplaning, but there are actually some distinct differences.  Microdermabrasion involves creating an abrasion and also pressure with a vacuum.  This process is known as a “drag” on the skin, which brings up heat and leads to an erythema.  Dermaplaning actually involves a very gentle blade and is most suited for sensitive, gentle skin because there are minimal amounts of aggression involved.   

Dermaplaning Compared to Chemical Peels 

Another common skin procedure for the face is a chemical peel.  During VI chemical peels in Kansas City, a chemical solution is applied to the skin, which causes the skin to blister.  After the blistering process is complete, the skin can then be removed or peeled, and the new skin is typically much more smooth and less wrinkled.  

The main difference between VI chemical peels in Kansas City and dermaplaning is that dermaplaning involves no chemical products, suction, or crystals.  After a session of dermaplaning in Kansas City, we recommend an appropriate skin lotion to soothe any redness. 

Once your Dermaplaning session is complete, be sure to apply a layer of sunscreen if you are planning on being outside as your skin can be more irritable.  After the redness subsides, you should begin to see the results and enjoy your smoother, more youthful skin.
