Dermaplaning is a method of exfoliation that uses a surgical scalpel to gently remove the top layer of dead skin cells to reveal a smoother, brighter complexion which forces the skin to heal stimulating collagen and elastin production.
This procedure is very popular in the entertainment industry, especially among models and actresses as it will also remove vellus hair (peach fuzz) which has a tendency to gather makeup. After your first dermaplaning procedure you will notice a greater penetration of everyday skin care products.
Who Is It For?
All skin types are compatible for Dermaplaning unless you have a live acne breakout. If you have deep cystic acne, wait until the breakout has cleared. You should always discuss any conditions with your technician prior to procedure so we can advise the correct treatment plan to suit your needs, i.e type of mask or LED therapy for your skin type. This is a great treatment if you are pregnant or nursing and want exfoliation without the risk of harsh chemicals absorbing into the blood stream and potentially harming your baby.
Side Effects?
You will not have any side effects and zero downtime with Dermaplaning but your skin will be highly sensitive to sun exposure, so you will be required to wear SPF 50 sunscreen to reduce risk of hyperpigmentation.
What Results Can I Expect?
After ONE treatment you will notice an immediate improvement to the look and feel of your skin. 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.
