Dermaplaning

• Removes soft facial hair that traps dirt and oils
• Reduces fine lines, acne scarring and improves texture and tone
• Increases cell turnover promoting younger skin
• Provides deeper penetration of skincare products
• Improves hydration and skin quality
• Offers immediate visible results
• Primes the skin for makeup to glide on smoothly

Dermaplaning is a painless procedure and has a similar sensation to a close shave. We will start with a thorough skin analysis followed by a double cleanse. Next, we will gently support an area of the skin taut with one hand, and use the sterile scalpel to start scrapping off the dead skin cells and peach fuzz. This may sound alarming, but most people are so relaxed that they fall asleep during the treatment. Once we have completed the removal, we will finish off your treatment using skincare that is best suited to your skin type..

Dermaplaning is recommended for all skin types except those with severe acne problems. If you have deep cystic acne, wait until breakouts are clear before trying this treatment. As always, also discuss any allergies or skin sensitivities before starting a treatment.

The best part about Dermaplaning is results are immediate and there is zero downtime. You’ll immediately look more radiant with a more even skin tone and texture.

You should avoid the following:

• Excessive heat for 3 days post treatments i.e. no heavy work outs, no sauna/steam room etc
• Facial waxing for 7 days
• Sun exposure for a minimum of 3 days, always wear SPF 30 or higher
• Chlorine for 24 hours

Although merely an old wives’ tale, many patients are often concerned that the hair will grow back heavier and darker after dermaplaning. This is not the case. If the hair is superficial vellus hair, it will grow back at the same rate and texture as before the treatment

45-90 minutes.

Since Dermaplaning removes about 3 weeks of accumulated dead skin cells, it’s best to wait about 3-4 weeks between treatments

There are no side effects and zero downtime. After the treatment, your skin will be highly sensitive to sun exposure and may already look very pink, so be sure to wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher to reduce the risk of hyper-pigmentation.

You must not have used any products containing Salicylic Acid or Glycolic acid in the 3 days previous to your treatment. You must also not have had any chemical peels within a month of Dermaplaning. Stop Retin-A products for 5 days prior. Avoid laser treatments 4 weeks before treatment. No waxing 7 days prior to treatment.
