Dermaplaning

[SoBlonde]

Hey all!

I got a notification on LivingSocial today about something called dermaplaning. The description reads, ". . . you'll receive a professional Dermaplaning treatment, which uses a dull blade to scrape the skin, removing peach fuzz, trapped oils, and dead skin, and reducing scars an uneven pigmentation on the face . . "

My acne scars and redness have been the bane of my existence for years now and I've never really known what to do. I thought about seeing a dermatologist this summer or trying something at home, but I wasn't sure what at home remedies could do the trick. I did see an ad in Shape for "ScarAway Scar Diminishing Cream" (myscaraway.com) and a testimonial said it worked on acne scars.

I did some initial research on dermaplaning and it seems like people have had good results. The deal is $65 compared to the original price of $150, but the ScarAway cream is only $20. Much cheaper.

What do you guys think? Any more information or stories regarding dermaplaning or ScarAway? Spend the big bucks, little bucks, or just see a doctor?

Thanks

That does not sound nice.

to me it sounds like just shaving your face, basically! shaving is mild exfoliation and will get rid of peach fuzz and dead skin, technically...

Yeah, it's pretty much shaving your face, but your whole face and I'm assuming a much deeper shave at that. Someone said they did it themselves with a #10 razor and I have no idea how sharp that is, but lord knows I ain't takin' no razor the my face if it's not to shave facial hair.

it sounds like a chemical peel might be better for you to get rid of acne scars. i would talk to your dermatologist.
