Dermaplaning
dermaplaning is a popular method of exfoliation that involves using a surgical scalpel to gently remove the outermost layer of dead skin cells, oil, and debris from the face. The treatment is safe and effective when performed by a trained professional.
​
Dermaplaning can help improve the texture and appearance of the skin by promoting cell turnover, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and enhancing the absorption of skincare products. It can also help to remove vellus hair, commonly known as peach fuzz, which can make the skin appear smoother and more radiant.
​
In terms of maintenance, it is generally recommended to have a dermaplaning treatment every 4-6 weeks, depending on individual skin concerns and goals. The vellus hair that is removed during the treatment will not grow back thicker or darker, contrary to a common myth. However, it is important to protect the skin with SPF after the treatment, as it may be more sensitive to sunlight.

FAQS
​
WHO CAN HAVE DERMAPLANING
Dermaplaning is recommended for all skin types except those with active breakouts and men with heavy facial hair. If you have active acne there are other treatments available 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.
​
HOW IS A DERMAPLANING DIFFERENT FROM A PEEL?
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 in the days following a service. Dermaplaning provides a good alternative to peels for those who desire professional-grade exfoliation without the potential social downtime.
​
WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT DURING MY SERVICE?
Dermaplaning is a painless treatment that includes deep cleansing, and 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 closing a shave which removes vellus hair and dead skin cells simultaneously.
​
HOW LONG IS THE TREATMENT?
45 – 60 minutes.
​
WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT AFTER MY SERVICE?
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. Skincare products are better able to penetrate the skin following a dermaplaning service which allows them to work more efficiently. Your cosmetics will also 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.
​
HOW SHOULD I CARE FOR MY SKIN AFTER A DERMAPLANING SERVICE?
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.
​
WILL MY HAIR GROW BACK THICKER AND DARKER?
No, dermaplaning will not alter your natural hair growth. As we remove the vellus hair we are cutting it at the thickest part of the hair follicle so it may appear thicker or darker for a brief period of time. However, this perceived difference is cosmetic and most clients do not notice.
​
RECOMMENDED COURSE FOR OPTIMAL RESULTS?
Dermaplaning removes 21 days' worth of dead skin cells, so it’s best to allow the skin to complete its rejuvenation cycle before your next treatment.
