dermaplaning
Dermaplaning is a non-invasive treatment designed to make skin look and feel smoother, healthier and more youthful.
Models and actresses have been doing it for years to treat dry skin, acne scars, uneven skin tone, large pores, fine lines…even unwanted facial hair!
What’s it all about?
Dermaplaning is a method of exfoliation that uses a 10 gauge scalpel to gently scrape off the top layer of dulling dead skin cells to reveal a smoother, brighter complexion.
Sounds a little scary, right? It really isn’t, as long as you’re in the right hands.
Dermaplaning is quick and totally painless. Not only does it remove dead skin cells, but also the ‘peach fuzz’ facial hair on your face - creating a flawless canvas for makeup to glide on smoothly and allowing for greater penetration of skincare products.
You’ll notice improvements immediately after your treatment, and don’t stress about your hair growing back coarser - the texture of your facial hair can’t change. It’ll grow back softly and naturally.
What can I expect during treatment?
Your therapist will take you through a comprehensive skin analysis before your first treatment.
Dermaplaning can take anywhere from a few minutes to a full hour, depending on your skin issues and goals. You might experience some slight redness after your treatment, but it won’t last long – you can usually head straight back to work after your appointment.
Although you’ll be excited to see your makeup glide on smoothly, we suggest avoiding wearing makeup for a day or so if you can to let your skin breathe.
