Dermaplaning

Face Treatment

Dermaplaning is another one of our exfoliation techniques.

This is a painless procedure that works to remove a build up of dead skin and microscopic hairs.

When these vellus hairs are left, the complexion can appear dull, flaky and be prone to breakouts due to blocked pores and hair follicles.

Unlike microdermabrasion, which just focuses on the removal of dead skin, dermaplaning also removes the vellus hairs which can improve the application of make-up.

WHAT IS THIS TREATMENT?

Dermaplaning is a skin treatment that uses a specialised blade — similar to a surgical scalpel called a dermatome — to remove dead skin and hairs. People may also refer to it as microplaning or blading. The procedure aims to give facial skin a smooth, youthful, and radiant appearance.

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT?

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.

After wards 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 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.

THINGS TO KNOW

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.
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.
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.
