Getting a summer-ready body isn’t just about having abs to show off in your bikini or a tan perfect for a day at the pool. It’s also about having smooth, luxurious skin that you want to bare in cute shorts or a sleeveless top. Dermaplaning is one of the easiest ways you can feel like your best self during the warmest months and longest days.
At Colorado Skin Care, we know that summer is the time to get outside. And whether you’re a poolside lounger or a shorts-and-T-shirt hiker, you want your skin to look its best. Our provider, Kimberly Stone, MD, can help you with a noninvasive treatment option called dermaplaning.
Dermaplaning is an exciting cosmetic treatment option that has increased in popularity over the years. This is because the procedure is very mild, doesn’t involve the use of dermal fillers or other injectables, and offers numerous benefits for many different types of skin problems and needs. Basically, dermaplaning is easy to do and offers great results for almost everyone.
Your provider uses a small, very sharp scalpel to remove the top layer of skin. It isn’t painful, although you might feel a scratching sensation. The skin you lose is so thin that it’s sort of like using a razor to shave your legs. At the least, the procedure will only take a few minutes. At the most, it’ll be over an hour. It all depends on where and how much dermaplaning you're doing.
Many of our patients love dermaplaning and use it as a form of skin maintenance, keeping everything looking fresh and healthy all year long. In general, though, this treatment can be used most effectively for:
Often, dermaplaning is a great choice for anyone who just thinks their skin needs a glow-up. That’s because the procedure doesn’t require intensive or invasive treatments, and it’s safe enough for almost anyone to do. As long as you don’t suffer from any skin conditions, such as eczema or psoriasis, and your skin is free of burns and rashes, dermaplaning is a great choice.
For one, dermaplaning is effective in the summertime because you only need to stay out of the sun for the first 48 hours after the procedure. Once you’ve cleared this timeline, regular sunscreen will do the trick to protect you. (Make sure to use SPF 50 or above.)
Summer is a great time for dermaplaning in Denver because, whatever you choose to do, you’ll see the results.
For example, are you going out and want to show off your legs in a new dress? Or are you participating in summer sports and want to look fresh? Maybe you just want your face to have a lovely summer glow, so you’re ready to get rid of the peach fuzz that’s been bringing you down. Whatever the case, this procedure can help.
Finally, all these outdoor activities mean more sweat, dirt, and who-knows-what clinging to your skin. Dermaplaning isn’t just about looking good; it’s about getting rid of the stuff that clogs your pores and keeps your skin from being fresh and clean. If you get dermaplaning now, you can avoid carrying excess build-up into the rest of the summer.
You absolutely can! Let us give you an initial consultation to determine if dermaplaning is right for you. Then, we can discuss the areas you feel could use some extra attention and get you glowing. Now’s the time; start dermaplaning this summer.
