Dermaplaning is a skin care treatment that removes dead skin cells and vellus hair. Using a small, sterile surgical blade holding the skin taut while swiping the blade gently in an upward motion. The blade is used on clean, dry skin on the forehead, cheeks, chin, nose and neck. You can see an instant improvement in the skin texture and tone, while the long term effects are increased cell turnover, fewer wrinkles and dark spots, reduction of acne scarring and the removal of fine facial hair. After dermaplaning, skincare products and treatments perform much more effectively since they can penetrate the skin more easily.

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 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.

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 the days following a treatment. Dermaplaning provides a good alternative to peels for those who desire professional grade exfoliation without the potential downtime.

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

40- 60 Minutes

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 dermaplane service which allows them to work more efficiently. Your cosmetics will 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.

No, Dermaplaning will not alter your natural hair growth. We are cutting vellus hair only and not the stronger pigmented terminal hair.

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