Dermaplaning
What is Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is a treatment that uses a medical scalpel to gently exfoliate the outer layer of dead skin cells and remove fine facial hair commonly known as “peach fuzz”, technically called “vellus” hair.
It can be used as an alternative to laser treatments and microdermabrasion or along with them for an enhanced result. This procedure will give your skin a more radiant appearance. Following the treatment, makeup application is smoother and other skincare products are able to penetrate deeper in turn making them more effective.
Dermaplaning:
- Dermaplaning is a cosmetic procedure that removes the top layers of your skin. The procedure aims to remove fine wrinkles and deep acne scarring, as well as make the skin’s surface look smooth when done in conjunction with other procedures such as chemical peels.
- Dermaplaning is safe for most people, with little risk of side effects when it’s performed in a medical setting.
- This procedure doesn’t require any downtime for recovery, which makes it extremely convenient.
- Dermaplaning is a cosmetic treatment, and sessions start at $189. It can also be added for a nominal amount to other skincare services.
- We find this treatment effective for people looking to make their skin appear more youthful, smooth, and bright. Treatments are repeated every 3-4 weeks. It can be done as a standalone procedure or booked with other services.
How to Prepare?
Dermaplaning takes around 30 minutes.
It’s best to avoid exfoliating your skin 3 days before. You should also try to avoid direct sunlight or tanning.
There’s no downtime needed to let your skin heal. We recommend using a broad-spectrum sunscreen of at least SPF 30 and a moisturizer afterward. That’s because your skin may be more sensitive.
You can do dermaplaning every 3 to 4 weeks. But it’s important to remember that its often done as a combined service with other treatments.
