Dermaplaning

Dermaplaning is a popular skin treatment that involves the use of a surgical-grade scalpel to exfoliate the skin’s surface and remove fine hair, also known as “peach fuzz.” This non-invasive procedure is an effective way to rejuvenate the skin and improve its overall texture, tone, and appearance.

Benefits

What's the Science Behind Dermaplaning?

The science behind Dermaplaning is rooted in the principles of physical exfoliation and cellular biology. The procedure employs a surgical-grade scalpel to gently scrape the outermost layer of dead skin cells off of the epidermis. This action not only removes dead skin but also triggers the body’s natural healing process, which includes the production of new skin cells, collagen, and elastin. The removal of fine vellus hair, or “peach fuzz,” further enhances the skin’s ability to absorb skincare products, making it more receptive to nutrients. The technique is precise and controlled, ensuring that only the superficial layers of the skin are targeted, thereby minimizing the risk of deeper skin damage.

Photodynamic Therapy:

Lumecca IPL is a photodynamic therapy where the light energy targets the acne-causing bacteria, specifically Propionibacterium acnes. The light penetrates the skin and is absorbed by porphyrins produced by these bacteria, leading to their destruction.

Anti-Inflammatory Effects:

The light energy also has anti-inflammatory properties, reducing the redness and swelling commonly associated with acne breakouts. This helps in faster healing and less scarring.

Sebum Regulation:

Lumecca IPL helps in regulating sebum (oil) production in the skin. Excess sebum is one of the leading causes of acne, and by controlling its production, the treatment helps reduce future breakouts.

Pore Size Reduction:

The light energy helps in tightening the pores, which not only makes them less visible but also less prone to trapping oils and bacteria, further preventing acne.
