Dermaplaning

Dermaplaning Is a pain free method of exfoliation that consists of using a scalpel to gently scrape off the top layer of dead skin cells and vellus hair to reveal a smoother, brighter complexion.

Dermaplaning is recommended for all skin types except those with active breakout and men with heavy 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 a great treatment if you are pregnant or nursing and want exfoliation without the use of chemicals. 

• Removes soft facial hair that traps dirt and oils
• Diminishes fine lines and improves texture and tone
• Generates new healthy skin growth
• Provides deeper product penetration
• Helps with the appearance of scarring
• Suitable for all skin types
• Creates a flawless canvas for makeup to glide on smoothly

Dermaplaning is a painless procedure and has a similar sensation to a close shave. After prepping your skin your therapist will then begin by pulling an area of skin taut and use the sterile scalpel to start scrapping off the dead skin cells and peach fuzz.

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 so be sure to wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher to reduce the risk of hyperpigmentation.

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.
