Dermaplaning and Hyperkeratosis: How It Can Help

Are you tired of feeling self-conscious about those rough, bumpy patches on your skin? Well, honey, let me introduce you to the miracle worker of skincare: Dermaplaning.

Dermaplaning is a manual exfoliation technique that involves using a scalpel to gently scrape away dead skin cells and vellus hair from the face. But, it's not just for achieving a smooth, glowing complexion. Dermaplaning can also be a game changer for those dealing with hyperkeratosis.

Hyperkeratosis is a condition characterized by thickened, rough patches of skin that can appear on various parts of the body, including the face. These patches can be caused by a variety of factors, including genetics and certain skin conditions. But, one thing is for sure, they can be unsightly and make you feel self-conscious.

Dermaplaning can help to improve the appearance of hyperkeratosis by removing the buildup of dead skin cells that contribute to the rough texture. It can also help to soften the appearance of the thickened patches and even out the skin tone. Plus, getting rid of that peach fuzz can also help to reduce the appearance of hyperkeratosis, as it can sometimes trap dirt and oil.

But, before you run out and book an appointment, there are a few things to keep in mind. Dermaplaning is not recommended for those with active acne or sensitive skin, as it can cause irritation and even lead to breakouts. It's also important to note that dermaplaning should only be performed by a licensed esthetician, as it does require the use of a scalpel.

So, if you're tired of feeling self-conscious about your hyperkeratosis and want to achieve smooth, even-toned skin, dermaplaning may just be the solution you've been looking for. Book an appointment at Erase Esthetics today and let us help you achieve the skin of your dreams.
