Product Description

  • Stainless Steel.

No. E11 blade Features:

Ideal for "paring" or "debridement" of dead or damaged skin during Podiatry and Chiropody treatments thanks to its closed edge blade technology. Fitment No.3. Fits Handles 3, 3L, 3 Graduated, 5B, 7, 9, B3, B3L.

No.10 blade Features:

The No.10 blade with its curved cutting edge is one of the more traditional blade shapes and is used generally for making small incisions in skin and muscle, also used in Beauty/Aesthetics for Dermaplaning of the skin.

No.11 blade Features:

The No.11 is an elongated triangular blade sharpened along the hypotenuse edge with a strong pointed tip making it ideal for stab incisions needed when lancing an abscess. It is held like a pencil and often upside down by the surgeon to prevent it inadvertently being inserted too deep. To avoid this scenario the scalpel should not be held towards the back end whilst the heel of the hand should be placed on the skin thus stabilising the hand to help prevent an unwanted deep incision. The No.11 is also used for other small incisions for example in vein and artery central lines, anatomical dissections and surgical treatment of disorders of the foot, ankle and lower extremities in Podiatry. The No.11 blades fit Handles 3, 3L, 3 Graduated, 5B, 7, 9 and B3.

Dermaplaning Tools: Use of Surgical Blades and Scalpels in Hair Removal and Skin Exfoliation

 

Dermaplaning is a non-invasive aesthetics treatment which uses a surgical blade or razor to carefully scrape the surface of the skin, removing unwanted hair 'peach fuzz' (referred to as vellus hair) from the epidermis.

In this article we discuss:

  • The use of surgical blades and handles as a dermaplaning tool.
  • The best and most popular blade shapes used by Aestheticians and Estheticians in clinic.
  • The increased accessibility of surgical blades and scalpels via online retailers such as Amazon.
  • Why the quality standards associated with surgical blade manufacturer can benefit those looking to use surgical blades as a dermaplaning tool.
  • Why safety is paramount when handling sharps and how this benefits users of Swann-Morton products.
  • What factors to look at in product reviews when considering which tool to purchase.

What is a Dermaplaning Tool?

A Dermaplaning tool is commonly used to remove facial hair from the skin in areas such as the upper lip, eyebrow, forehead, cheeks, and chin. The treatment is also used to:

  • Remove dead skin cells from the face and neck.
  • Treat the face and neck with light exfoliation.
  • Reduce fine lines and wrinkles due to ageing, stress, smoking, and other physical or environmental factors.
  • Diminish acne scars and visible pores, blotching, or other skin impurities.
  • Support professional-looking brow shaping.

Surgical Blades as a Dermaplaning Tool

Surgical blades are traditionally used by trained Aestheticians / Estheticians in professional environments and these user groups remain the most common buyers of Swann-Morton scalpels for Dermaplaning treatments.

Why surgical blades can be considered practical and safe for cosmetic procedures such as Dermaplaning:

  • Manufacturing and quality standards required for suppliers of surgical and operating room equipment are very high. This ensures consistency in blade edge.
  • Supplied in boxes (in our case 100), the combination of reusable scalpel handle and easy to replace blade makes surgical blades an economical option for Dermaplaning and similar cosmetic procedures.
  • Blades can be safely removed using complimentary blade removal devices which help to reduce the risks of sharps injury and ensures safe disposal.
  • Blades are supplied certified sterile with Swann-Morton owning its own on-site irradiation facility.
  •  

How Can Quality Be Identified?

When using surgical blades for cosmetic skin procedures such as Dermaplaning, the key aspects of blade quality must be considered.

Quality Control & Manufacturing Standards

Quality controlled manufacturing & inspection processes should be a consideration to maintain consistent blade quality. Quality control ensures:

  • High performance of the blade.
  • Consistent cutting edge amongst blade batches.
  • Consistent results for both clinician and client.

Swann-Morton No.3 and No.4 fitting surgical blades are manufactured in accordance with BS 2982 and BS EN 27740. Boxes are marked with lot number and expiry dates for traceability. All Sterile Product boxes are bar coded. Sterile blades are sterilised by Gamma radiation to a minimum dose of 25 kGy. Surgical Handles No.3 & No.4 fitting surgical handles are manufactured in accordance with BS 2982 and BS EN 27740. All other handles are manufactured to in-house standards. Boxes are marked with lot number and expiry dates for traceability.

Past User Reviews

When determining the quality of a desired dermaplaning tool, in general one should visit product pages and read *past customer reviews of both the original purchase and replacement blades. This is something that will identify issues with quality and may also help establish issues users have found with replacement blade fitment and safe handling.

*This of course applies to our own products!

Dermaplaning Tool Blade Replacement

We recommend:

  • Regular changing of the blade to ensure a sharp edge and a consistent performance.
  • You are familiar with best practices around safe handling and disposal of sharps (your blades).
  • You are satisfied with the safety information and blade handling options of your chosen dermaplaning tool.
