Exfoliation is one of the best ways that you can take care of your skin and reduce the signs of aging. At Arizona Facial Plastics, PC, Dr. Farhan Taghizadeh, a board-certified facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon, recommends dermaplaning as part the skin care regimen used by men and women who live in and around Phoenix, Scottsdale, Paradise Valley and the surrounding communities of Arizona.
Dermaplaning is performed by one of our professional aestheticians. The procedure involves removing the top-most layer of your skin. Doing this triggers the healing response from your body. New, young skin cells are produced, giving your skin a smoother texture, firmer appearance, and more radiant complexion.
Dermaplaning is an elective cosmetic procedure and is not covered by medical insurance. After your consultation with Dr. Taghizadeh, our patient coordinator will review your treatment schedule and cost. Payment should be made on the day of your dermaplaning treatment. We accept cash, check, major credit card and financing through CareCredit®.
Dr. Taghizadeh recommends dermaplaning to his patients because he understands the aesthetic value and other benefits, such as:
Unlike microdermabrasion, dermaplaning is performed by hand. After cleaning your skin, our aesthetician uses a surgical scalpel to gently remove an ultra-thin layer of skin. The aesthetician may then spend some time removing the individual blemishes. Dr. Taghizadeh may recommend that you have a chemical peel in conjunction with your dermaplaning treatment.
Dermaplaning is unique because it uses your body’s natural healing process to promote the development of healthy, younger skin. The procedure is slightly different than microdermabrasion. Dermaplaning removes a layer of skin whereas microdermabrasion primarily removes dead skin cells and impurities from the surface of the skin.
We pride ourselves on offering the latest cosmetic technologies and procedures. I am constantly in contact with some of the biggest aesthetic companies in the country to find out what new devices are coming out so that we can help you look your best. I have extensive cosmetic surgery training, and I have performed over 3,500 facelifts. My goal is to meet you where you are – whether you are noticing sun damage or are tired of looking 15 years older than you feel-together we can find a way to bring that spark back to your life!I completed my ENT training at the University of Rochester in 2004. To further deepen my understanding of the face, I did a facial plastic surgery fellowship in Switzerland (where I also developed a love of chocolate!). These experiences gave me an in-depth understanding of head and neck structures, an understanding that I use and refine every day to help you achieve the outcome you seek.
MEET DR. T Meet Our TeamHaving had several treatments at Arizona Facial Plastics, I highly recommend them for all your cosmetic needs! After a thorough assessment of my skin to gauge sun damage, bacteria, winkles and my true age (which alone was fascinating!), they recommended a perfect regime of facials, lasers and Botox/fillers to not only take away years of damage but also left me with an amazing glow and much more youthful skin! Having worked with several members of their staff, including Dr. Taghizadeh, Sierra, Anthoinette, Maureen and Tammy, I can attest that everyone was incredibly knowledgeable and will put you right at ease with whatever services you get. They also have great products and highly recommend their cleanser and spf to maintain all your great results!
After your dermaplaning treatment, our aesthetician applies skin care products and sunscreen to help with the healing process. In some cases, the skin has a mild redness and slight irritation, but most patients do not experience these symptoms.
Dermaplaning is an excellent option for treating:
Only in very rare cases is dermaplaning not considered an effective skin care treatment. Certain medical conditions do place you at risk for developing complications. If you fall into this category, Dr. Taghizadeh will recommend an alternative treatment at our medical spa.
