About
Dermaplaning is a method of exfoliation that consists of using a tool designed to gently scrape off the top layer of dulling dead skin cells in order to reveal a smoother, brighter complexion. Dermaplaning is a favorite in the entertainment industry, specifically among models and actresses. Why? It also eliminates that annoying peach fuzz that cakes up in makeup and can be enhanced by harsh production lighting and high-definition cameras. Dermaplaning removes dead skin cells and also the vellus facial hair (peach fuzz), leaving the surface very smooth. Dermaplaning also allows for greater penetration of skincare products and creates a flawless canvas for makeup to glide on smoothly. In fact, Dermaplaning is also used to help prepare skin for other procedures such as Micro-needling, laser treatments and chemical peels.
Dermaplaning is recommended for all skin types except acneic skin. If you have deep cystic acne, wait until breakouts are clear before trying this treatment.
Your skin will immediately look more radiant with a more even skin tone and texture. Peach fuzz is removed, which is why first-timers say their skin has never felt so soft. Keep in mind… the true benefit is the epidermal exfoliation…the peach fuzz is a side bonus.
Many women are often concerned that removing peach fuzz will make it grow back heavier and darker, but that is just an old wives’ tale. Superficial vellus hair (peach fuzz) will grow back at the same rate and with the same texture as it was prior to the treatment.
This procedure is designed to address:
- Removes dead skin cells & vellus hair (peach fuzz) that traps dirt & oil
- Promotes smoother texture & brighter complexion
- Allows for better absorption of products
- Physical exfoliation
- Quick 30 minute procedure
- NO DOWNTIME
- Overall skin health
How it Works
Method of physical exfoliation that consists of using a tool designed to gently remove the top layer of dulling dead skin cells in order to reveal a smoother, brighter complexion.
What to Expect
A tool is used to gently remove the dead skin cells, debris, and fine hair of the top layer of dead skin cells. The entire face from the forehead to the chin will be treated and will benefit from dermaplaning. Treatments take approximately 30 minutes and can be performed about once per month for optimal results. Dermaplaning prior to another treatment (such as: microdermabrasion, chemical peel, laser, and more) is a great way to prep the skin for enhanced treatment benefits.
With dermaplaning, there’s no downtime, but there are instantaneous results. Right after a treatment, patients will notice more radiant skin that has a more even tone and texture. The skin will look more youthful and rejuvenated. Also, the skin will look and feel smoother since fine hair was removed. It’s recommended to get a series of treatments for the best results.
How to Prepare
- Treatment cannot be performed on sunburned skin, cold sores, or on open lesions in the area being treated.
- Refrain from excessive sun exposure and tanning beds for one week prior to your treatment. Daily use of SPF 30 or higher is recommended to protect against both UVB and UVA rays.
