Why is a thorough consultation necessary before dermaplaning?
To ensure safety and create an effective treatment plan.
During dermaplaning, it's important to work slowly, cautiously, and with control of the blade at all times. Key techniques include: beginning treatment on the forehead and working down one side of the face before moving to the other side (zone 1); using gauze to remove dead skin and vellus hair buildup from the blade; always using your dominant hand to hold the dermaplaning blade like a pencil while wearing gloves; maintaining a 45-degree angle with the blade to prevent friction and irritation; holding the skin taut with the non-dominant hand; working in an upward motion against hair growth with quick and controlled motions; positioning your body so the blade comes directly back towards your body; working in small sections to keep the surface area taut; picking up both hands and the blade between sections; and applying little to no pressure to the skin.
