Dermaplaning Treatment Omaha

We are excited to share with you special cosmetic treatment for both the ladies and the guys which we now offer at Advanced Dermatology of the Midlands.

The technique of dermaplaning, which involves deep exfoliation of the skin, has been in development for nearly 40 years. Both the tools and the technique have been refined giving us an incredibly effective and very safe procedure that we now offer.

The best dermatologists know that in the realm of cosmetics, the quest for smoother, brighter skin is the pinnacle goal.

The purpose of dermaplaning is to smooth out the skin and remove superficial unwanted hairs by means of a special surgical scalpel that glides across the surface of the skin. The very top layer of the skin, known as the stratum corneum, is exfoliated during the procedure. Along with this, fine hairs are also removed. We generally call these the vellus hairs—those hairs which are fine, and soft. By doing this, the irregularities in the skin, excess debris of dead skin, as well as fine hairs are removed. The results are smoother skin, giving lightening and brightening in the complexion. Effects of sun damage like fine lines and dullness in the skin can also improve.

Dermaplaning Pros & Cons

Results can vary from person to person, but in general, both men and women appreciate the improvement in their appearance. As an added plus for women, makeup application is easier, with makeup going on more evenly/smoothly and removal is much easier after dermaplaning. For those who have those fine fuzzy hairs (peach fuzz), just imagine how much nicer and smoother your makeup will look after the hairs are removed. For the guys, you can have a great deal of debris, especially dead skin cells on the surface of your skin. Removing these can brighten your appearance and reduce acne breakouts.

Almost anyone can have dermaplaning performed, and the effects usually last about a month. For this reason, many of our patients come back for repeat sessions at monthly intervals. Pregnant women, people with mildly sensitive skin, and patients having some other cosmetic procedures like chemical peels can also safely have this procedure performed. In fact, dermaplaning can be very helpful to prepare the skin prior to a chemical peel, making the peel even more effective.

Treatment Options

Want a bonus? Dermaplaning is very safe and PAINLESS!

In a few rare circumstances, dermaplaning should not be performed. For our patients with active or cystic acne, we must wait until the acne is better controlled before any treatments. Not to worry there, we have several dermatology professionals in our clinics, and all are skilled in our management approach for acne known as the Acne Institute (https://www.midlandsderm.com/acne-treatment-omaha/). Yet the good news is that dermaplaning can help to fade some of the skin darkening known as post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation that may occur with acne. Dermaplaning cannot be used in the beard area of a man or in a woman with hirsutism, which is a condition of male pattern facial hair growth.

Dermaplaning Tool

On the technique itself, it requires a special instrument as well as specialized training. At Advanced Dermatology of the Midlands, we have Registered Nurse skincare specialists who are experienced with dermaplaning and have received special training to maximize their skills. The surgical blade instrument we use has gone through many refinements over the years and now in its current version is a hybrid of both steel and carbon giving maximum versatility with both rigidity and flexibility to perform this technique in the best way possible.

This clinic is the best! Very friendly staff and Rachel Person, the Nurse Practitioner, makes me feel so comfortable every time I go in for whole body skin checks. She is very knowledgable and easy to talk to about any concerns. Rachel is quick to come in to the exam room and very thorough during to check all while carrying on friendly conversation to distract you from the uneasy feeling of having someone inspect you from head to toe. Go see her, she is wonderful!Marla Peterson

I've been seeing Dr. Davey for a few years for skin cancer checks. He has a family history of melanoma, so he has a soft spot for those with skin cancer risks. He always does a thorough exam, never making me feel self-conscious. He doesn't try to do unnecessary procedures, but he also doesn't just "watch and wait" when spots seems suspicious. Being a physician myself, I have utmost trust in his medical opinion and wealth of knowledge. His staff is always caring, kind and professional. I'm so glad I found Advanced Dermatology of the Midlands!

I have been seeing Dr Rachel Person for hyperhydrosis for several treatments. I’ve dealt with extreme sweating all my life, I’m 46 and intoductions are the worst. My career tends to have very limited formal introductions until a recent change in my position. I receive Botox every 3 months. It lasts all three months in the hands, leaving them dry and me confident. The underarms tend to start sweating within a couple months and within 2-3 weeks from my appointment, they sweat to the point that I need to be careful what I wear, but still not to the extent b4 treatment. It’s totally worth the pain which feelslike an insect bite to me, but the pain subsides quickly. The staff is very friendly when I check-in, I’ve never experienced a long wait, and the office offers coffee and bottled water. Dr. Person is super nice, attentive, a good listener and cares about my experience. I highly recommend Advanced Dermatology and Dr. Person for anyone suffering from hyperhydrosis.

Hands down the BEST place to come for any skin issues. I had a skin check today and Dr. Davey did an exceptional job explaining his findings as well as walking me through the procedure of removing a mole and why. The nursing staff was also amazing and were very friendly. They also educated me while setting stuff up for the removal of a mole. If anyone is looking for a Dermatologist hands down this is the place to go!

Jake is hands down the most caring person I have ever met. I know he truly cares about me and wants what’s best for me and my care. I am so thankful to have found him. I am afraid of drs and he makes you feel so comfortable that going to your appointments is a breeze. He even called me to see how I was doing on chemo after I started taking it. I could go on and on but he truly is the best.

Dr. Shehan and his staff are amazing! Every time I see him for a visit I feel that he thoroughly addresses all of my concerns and has a genuine interest in what is going on with me. His level of knowledge is outstanding and he also shows that he cares about how I feel. Because of this and how happy I am with my care I’ve referred many of my family to be seen at their clinic. I would not hesitate to refer anyone I know!

I have seen Dr. Davey twice, and both times I have left raving about what a positive experience it was. His staff is prompt, welcoming, and knowledgeable. I had to get two moles removed, and Dr. Davey spent time explaining the procedure and educating me about the importance of a proactive approach to managing the risks of skin cancer. He made sure the experience was 100% pain free, which was a great relief. His staff made sure to call my insurance company before the procedure to ensure that I would not be met with unexpected costs. I highly recommend Dr. Davey at Advanced Dermatology of the Midlands!
