Dermaplaning in Kansas City

Dermaplaning is an ideal choice for addressing a variety of skin concerns. The most common reason patients come to our clinic for dermaplaning is to reduce peach fuzz or revitalize dull and uneven skin texture. However, it is also an effective treatment to prevent common signs of aging.

Surface buildup can lead to fine lines, which makes the skin appear older. It can also dry out skin, which leads to clogged pores and flaky texture. By clearing away debris and opening up clogged pores, dermaplaning can enhance the skin’s appearance, providing smoother texture and a more youthful shine.

Dermaplaning in Kansas City does not offer permanent results, but patients can enjoy renewed texture and shine for several weeks after their treatment. Most people experience noticeable results that last anywhere from 3 to 4 weeks, but this may vary depending on the quality of a patient’s skin and their daily skin routine.

The body is always creating new skin cells to protect itself. However, this also means dead skin cells are prevalent and need to be removed to avoid clogged, dull skin. We recommend washing your face often and taking dermatological precautions, like wearing sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30. 

If you’re noticing the reappearance of peach fuzz, dull texture, and decreased shine, schedule an additional dermaplaning appointment with our team.

To clear and exfoliate skin, some patients prefer chemical exfoliants like retinoids, AHAs, BHAs, and scrubs. But other patients have sensitive skin that may sustain serious damage if a provider uses any chemical exfoliation treatment.

Thanks to dermaplaning at Clarity Health & Aesthetics, patients with these sensitivities can still exfoliate their skin for renewed texture and shine. The dermaplaning process is gentler than other exfoliation methods—especially those that use harsh chemicals. If a patient has sensitive skin, our providers can adjust the intensity and the frequency of the treatment to address their specific needs.

Dermaplaning in Kansas City does not require serious preparation, but there are steps our providers recommend to ensure the treatment process goes smoothly.

First, be sure not to perform any exfoliation treatments in the week leading up to your treatment, as this can irritate the skin leading up to your dermaplaning session.

You should also make sure your skin is clear and healthy as we do not treat patients with skin infections, open wounds, or active acne. Before your session, gently clean your face. You should not wear any lotion, sunscreen, or makeup to your dermaplaning treatment.

You shouldn’t need to take any downtime following a dermaplaning treatment, but you can expect some minor side effects.

After your session, you may experience some redness and swelling in the treatment area. This should go away on its own after about a week, but if your skin feels overly tender or sore, ask your provider for a pain medication recommendation.

You can also calm the skin by applying a cold compress to the affected area. If you have any other questions about the recovery process, ask our team. We’re always here to provide the information you need.

We recommend patients wait 24 hours after their dermaplaning session before applying any makeup to the treatment area. Following that waiting period, patients will find that the makeup application process is simpler and smoother.

An excess of dead cells on the surface of the skin can make it difficult for makeup to adhere to the skin properly. But after our providers scrape away skin debris, patients can enjoy a refreshed canvas for their cosmetic products.

Dermaplaning in Kansas City also makes it easier for products to absorb into the skin, making moisturizers and cleansers more effective.
