Dermaplaning

Conveniently Located to serve Rutherford, Verona, Bergen and Essex Counties

Dermaplaning uses an ultra-sharp surgical blade to gently scrape the outer layers of dead, dull skin cells. It also effectively removes the very fine (peach fuzz) hair that is commonly found on the face. This treatment is great for those people who want the advantages commonly seen with professional exfoliation, but have skin that is too sensitive for the suction associated with traditional microdermabrasion.

Dermaplaning

Frequently Asked Questions

How does dermaplaning work?

Your skin is pulled taut while a sterile surgical blade is very gently scraped across the surface. This blade removes dead skin, and vellus hair (peach fuzz) on the face. This leaves the skin ultra smooth and bright. 

Will the hair on my face grow back darker or thicker?

No! It is impossible to change the structure of your hair follicle by manipulating the hair only on the surface. Your hair will gradually grow back exactly how it was before the treatment. 

Am I a candidate for dermaplaning?

An aesthetic nurse will analyze your skin prior to treatment and determine if you are a candidate. If you have found in the past that your skin is too sensitive for a microdermabrasion, dermaplaning may work best for you. 

Can Dermaplaning be combined with chemical peels or IPL treatments?

Yes, and it is often recommended.

How often do I need to get this treatment done?

Dermaplaning can be performed every 4 weeks. 

What do I need to do before and after my dermaplaning treatment?

You should discontinue any exfoliating products including alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) serums, scrubs, retinol night creams and topical prescriptions (Triluma, Retin-A, Tretinoin etc…) for at least 5 days prior to and 5 days after your treatment. It’s critical to apply sunscreen daily after this treatment, as your skin will be more sensitive to the sun’s damaging rays. 

Is there downtime associated with dermaplaning?

There is no downtime after this treatment. You may have slight redness for a few hours, but your skin will be smooth and glowing in no time. This is considered a “lunch time treatment”, because often people will return back to work as soon as the session is over.

Is this treatment safe for pregnant or nursing women?

Yes this treatment can be performed safely on pregnant or lactating women.

✨ @drgeria was recently featured in the article by @livestrong_com where he shared his opinion on the use of dry shampoo.

👎Dry shampoo can be a convenient hair care product, its frequent and improper use may have some potential drawbacks.

🫧It should not replace regular hair washing entirely, as it doesn`t cleanse the scalp as effectively as traditional shampoo and water.

👉Overuse of dry shampoo can lead to product buildup, clogged hair follicles, and a dry scalp.

❗️Dr. Geria recommends using dry shampoo sparingly and recommends washing your hair regularly to maintain scalp health and prevent potential issues.

🩸Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is a cutting-edge medical procedure that harnesses the healing power of your own blood.

💉It involves drawing a small sample of your blood, processing it to concentrate the platelets, growth factors, and other beneficial components, and then injecting this PRP back into the body at targeted areas.

👨‍⚕️PRP is widely used in various medical fields, including orthopedics, dentistry, and aesthetics.

💆‍♂️💆‍♀️It’s particularly popular in dermatology and hair restoration for its ability to stimulate tissue repair, collagen production, and cell regeneration, promoting healthier skin and hair growth.

👍Benefits of PRP for hair restoration:

✨Stimulates hair growth.
✨Strengthens existing hair.
✨Improves hair thickness and density.
✨Enhances overall hair health.
✨Minimizes hair loss.

❓Did you know?

👉Consuming a diet that is rich in sugar and heavily processed foods can potentially have a significant impact on skin health and lead to the development of skin inflammation.

👎Processed foods often contain high levels of refined sugars, which can cause rapid spikes in blood sugar levels. This triggers the release of insulin, a hormone that regulates blood sugar, but can also have pro-inflammatory effects.

🙅‍♀️Chronic consumption of excessive sugars and processed carbohydrates may contribute to a state of chronic inflammation, which is believed to be a contributing factor to the exacerbation of skin conditions like acne, eczema, and psoriasis.

🥦In contrast, opting for a diet rich in whole, nutrient-dense foods, such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats, provides the body with the necessary building blocks for healthy skin.

👍These foods supply essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that can support the skin`s natural defense mechanisms and minimize the risk of inflammation-related skin issues.

✨Therefore, making mindful dietary choices can contribute to maintaining clear, vibrant, and healthy skin.
