What are the pro's and con's of dermaplaning? who should not get it? dermatologists only please.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No obvious advantage: Dermaplaning is a proprietary name for using a surgical blade to scrape the outermost layers of the epidermis, supposedly to exfoliate the skin and regenerate new skin cells. Frankly, i see no advantage to this procedure over time-tested exfoliating techniques such as microdermabrasion and superficial chemical peel - and you have the added risk of nicks & cuts.
