Ever feel like your skin looks dull no matter what products you use? You might be dealing with a hidden layer of dead skin cells and fine facial hair that's blocking your natural glow. Dermaplaning is a safe, non-invasive treatment that gently exfoliates the skin, revealing a smoother, brighter complexion instantly. Whether you're prepping for an event or just want a refreshed look, this popular procedure could be the glow-up your skincare routine needs.
What Is Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is a cosmetic exfoliation technique that uses a sterile surgical blade to remove dead skin cells and vellus hair (peach fuzz) from the surface of the skin. While it may sound intense, it’s completely safe when performed by trained professionals—like those at MediLaser Cosmetic and Vein Center in Frisco, under the medical supervision of Dr. Mauricio Giraldo, M.D., F.A.A.C.S. With no downtime and immediate results, it’s easy to see why dermaplaning is becoming a go-to option for people looking to improve their skin texture and radiance.
The Dermaplaning Process
The treatment begins with a thorough cleansing to remove any makeup, oil, or impurities. Then, a professional gently glides a surgical-grade blade across your skin at a precise angle, exfoliating without causing damage. Afterward, a soothing serum or moisturizer is applied to calm the skin and lock in hydration. Most people walk out with visibly smoother, softer, and more radiant skin.
Who Can Benefit?
One of dermaplaning’s biggest advantages is its versatility. It’s suitable for nearly all skin types, including sensitive skin. You might be an ideal candidate if you:
Struggle with dull or uneven skin tone
Want a smooth surface for better makeup application
Prefer a gentle alternative to harsh scrubs or chemical exfoliants
Are looking to reduce the appearance of fine lines or acne scars
Because it’s non-irritating and free of chemicals, dermaplaning is especially beneficial for those who’ve had issues with other exfoliating treatments.
Benefits That Go Beyond Skin Deep
Dermaplaning doesn’t just improve how your skin looks—it enhances how it functions. Some key benefits include:
Instant glow: Enjoy visibly smoother and brighter skin right after your session.
Better product absorption: Your skincare products penetrate deeper, making them more effective.
Improved makeup application: Foundation and powders glide on more evenly, giving you a flawless finish.
Reduced acne scars and fine lines: With continued treatments, skin texture noticeably improves.
Little to no downtime: You can go right back to your day after treatment.
At MediLaser, Dr. Giraldo and his team in Frisco tailor the treatment to your skin type and goals, ensuring the best possible outcome every time.
How Often Should You Get It?
For optimal results, dermaplaning is typically done every 4 to 6 weeks. This timing allows for natural skin regeneration while keeping buildup at bay. If you're unsure about the right frequency for your skin, a consultation at MediLaser Cosmetic and Vein Center can help create a personalized plan.
What About At-Home Tools?
While DIY dermaplaning tools are widely available, at-home treatments carry a risk of cuts, irritation, or uneven exfoliation. For the safest and most effective experience, professional treatment is the way to go—especially under the care of a board-certified cosmetic surgeon like Dr. Giraldo.
Can It Be Combined with Other Treatments?
Absolutely. Dermaplaning pairs well with:
Hydrating facials: for an extra boost of moisture and glow
Chemical peels: to increase the effectiveness of exfoliation
Microdermabrasion: for even deeper skin rejuvenation
At MediLaser, treatments are often customized and combined to help you reach your skincare goals more efficiently.
Aftercare Essentials
Post-treatment care is simple but important. Keep your skin hydrated with a gentle moisturizer, avoid direct sun exposure, and skip any products containing strong acids or retinoids for at least 24 hours. And, of course, daily sunscreen is a must to protect your fresh new layer of skin.
Dermaplaning is more than a trend—it’s a reliable way to achieve smoother, more radiant skin with minimal effort. Whether you’re new to cosmetic treatments or looking to enhance your skincare routine, MediLaser Cosmetic and Vein Center in Frisco offers expert care in a comfortable, professional setting. Under the guidance of Dr. Mauricio Giraldo, M.D., F.A.A.C.S., you’ll receive personalized treatment and long-lasting results.
