Derma Planning

Dermaplaning is a method of exfoliation that consists of using a sterile and single use scalpel to gently remove the layer of dull, dead skin cells and vellus hair to reveal a smoother, brighter complexion.

No, there is no pain involved in this procedure.  It is a relaxing treatment combined with a simple facial.

Dermaplaning is recommended for all skin types except those with active breakouts and men with dense facial hair. If you have active acne, there are other treatments available that would be more beneficial, and it is necessary to wait until breakouts are healed before trying this treatment. As always, also discuss any allergies or skin sensitivities before starting a treatment. This is an excellent treatment if you are pregnant or nursing and want exfoliation without the use of chemicals.

This is one of the biggest misconceptions about dermaplaning and a lots of clients fear the hair growing back thicker after treatment. No, dermaplaning will not alter your natural hair growth. As we remove the vellus hair, we are cutting it at the thickest part of the hair follicle so it may appear thicker or darker for a brief period of time. However, this perceived difference is cosmetic, and most clients do not notice.

Dermaplaning is a manual exfoliation process that does not use acids or enzymes to remove dead skin cells. All of the exfoliation is achieved during your treatment, and you will not peel or visibly shed skin after your service, while Peels can result in dramatic peeling in the days following service. Dermaplaning provides an excellent alternative to peels for those who desire professional grade exfoliation without the potential social downtime.

Dermaplaning is a painless treatment that includes deep cleansing, professional exfoliation in the form of dermaplaning followed by restorative treatment and finished with skincare suited to your unique skin. Dermaplaning has a similar sensation to close a shave, which removes vellus hair and dead skin cells simultaneously.

You’ll immediately look more radiant with a more even skin tone and texture. While the main objective of this treatment is exfoliation, the immediate removal of peach fuzz is an added benefit which renders the skin exceptionally smooth and soft. Skin care products are better able to penetrate the skin following a dermaplaning service which allows them to work more efficiently. Your cosmetics will also go on smoother. After the treatment, your skin will be highly sensitive to sun exposure and may look pink, so be sure to wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher to reduce the risk of hyperpigmentation.

After a Dermaplaning treatment, your skin needs time to heal and restore. Treat the skin gently, using only hands to cleanse for at least 2 days and wearing sunscreen every day.

Dermaplaning removes 21 days’ worth of dead skin cells, so it’s best to allow the skin to complete its rejuvenation cycle before your next treatment.
