Dermaplaning

Dermaplaning is a non-invasive exfoliating treatment that gently removes dead skin cells and fine vellus hair (often called "peach fuzz") from the surface of the skin. This treatment is ideal for achieving smooth, radiant skin and is suitable for most skin types.

During a dermaplaning session, a trained professional uses a sterile surgical blade to gently scrape the surface of the skin. This process removes the outer layer of dead skin cells and fine facial hair. The procedure is painless, and most clients find it relaxing. It helps the skin appear smoother and allows skincare products to penetrate more effectively.

• Exfoliation: Dermaplaning effectively removes dead skin cells, leaving the skin looking fresh and radiant.
• Smooth Texture: By eliminating peach fuzz and rough skin, the treatment creates an ultra-smooth surface, perfect for makeup application.
• Brighter Complexion: Removing the top layer of dead skin cells promotes a more even skin tone and enhances your natural glow.
• Reduces Fine Lines: Regular treatments can help minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
• Gentle & Non-Irritating: Dermaplaning is a safe, gentle procedure that works well for those with sensitive skin or conditions like rosacea.
• No Downtime: One of the main advantages of dermaplaning is that there's no recovery time required. You can return to your normal activities immediately after treatment.

After your dermaplaning treatment, you’ll notice an immediate improvement in the smoothness and brightness of your skin. Your skin may have a slight pinkish glow for a few hours after the session, but this fades quickly. The skin feels soft and rejuvenated, and makeup goes on more smoothly. For the best results, dermaplaning can be done every 4-6 weeks, depending on your skin’s needs.

A common concern about dermaplaning is the fear that the facial hair will grow back thicker or darker. This is a myth. The hair removed during dermaplaning is vellus hair, which grows back with the same texture and color. It does not become coarser or thicker after the treatment.

After dermaplaning, it’s important to follow specific guidelines to ensure your skin heals properly and you get the best results. Here are the main “don’ts” to keep in mind:

1. Don’t Expose Your Skin to Sun: Your skin will be more sensitive to UV rays after dermaplaning. Avoid direct sun exposure for at least 48 hours and always use a high SPF sunscreen when outdoors.
2. Don’t Use Harsh Exfoliants: Avoid using scrubs, chemical exfoliants (like AHAs or BHAs), or retinol products for 3-5 days post-treatment, as your skin is more sensitive and can easily become irritated.
3. Don’t Touch Your Face Excessively: Avoid touching your skin too much after dermaplaning, as this can transfer bacteria and cause breakouts or irritation.
4. Don’t Apply Heavy Makeup Immediately: Let your skin breathe for at least 24 hours before applying heavy foundation or other makeup products. This reduces the risk of clogging your pores.
5. Don’t Use Hot Water or Steam: Skip hot showers, saunas, or steam rooms for 24-48 hours post-treatment to avoid irritating your sensitive skin.
6. Don’t Pick at Your Skin: After dermaplaning, your skin may feel extra smooth, but avoid the urge to pick at it, as this could lead to irritation or infection.
7. Don’t Exercise Right Away: Avoid strenuous workouts for 24 hours after the treatment. Sweat can irritate your newly exfoliated skin and lead to redness or breakouts.

By following these aftercare tips, you’ll help your skin recover quickly and maintain the smooth, radiant results of your dermaplaning treatment.
