Dermaplaning

Dermaplaning is an excellent anti-aging treatment that provides both immediate and cumulative results with each facial you receive.

Dermaplaning is a physical form of exfoliation that has removed dead skin cells and vellus hair from the surface of your skin. Your face should feel softer than ever and look brighter and more youthful!

Dermaplaning is a gentle skincare procedure using a surgical scalpel to exfoliate the top layers of your skin and remove fine facial hair, leaving your complexion brighter and smoother. It's sometimes called a "scalpel facial" because it involves scraping off dead skin and hair with a scalpel blade, but no cuts are made. While dermaplaning is generally safe and painless, it should only be done by trained experts in a sterile environment.

Schedule your appointments 4 weeks apart to optimize results.

• Benefits

  • Smoother skin: By removing dead skin cells, dermaplaning leaves your skin feeling smoother, which is great for events like weddings or parties.

  • Better product absorption: Exfoliating with dermaplaning helps skincare products penetrate deeper into the skin, making them more effective.

  • Brighter complexion: Dermaplaning can reduce the appearance of fine lines, acne scars, and dark spots, giving you a brighter complexion.

  • Hair removal: It also temporarily removes fine facial hair, which can trap dirt and oil on the skin.

• Post Care Instructions

  • Use a gentle cleanser such as our mild gel cleanser and warm, not hot, water. Splash water on face. Do not use abrasive cleanser, wash cloths, electronic cleaning brush, or hot shower spray for the first 24-48 hours.

  • Do not use products containing retinol, salicylic acid or Benzoyl Peroxide (BPO) for 5 days following treatment.

  • Tone: Hydrating and brightening toners applied with a cotton round will penetrate deeper into the skin. If you are sensitive, try all products on a small area before applying full face.  If it hurts then don’t use it.

  • Active ingredients in serums penetrate much better now, so you’ll see quicker results. Ask your esthetician about the right serum(s) for your skin.

  • For darker skin tones: use a brightening serum to reduce any risk of Post Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation. Ask your esthetician for recommendations.

  • Use a hydrating moisturizer like our ultra hydrating moisturizer and apply twice daily. Moisturizer locks in skin’s hydration with the added absorption of its active ingredients.

  • For darker skin tones that are inflamed: use a 1% hydrocortisone cream for 5 days following treatment to calm inflammation and reduce the risk of Post Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation.

  • Makeup can irritate skin after dermaplaning. Bacteria, alcohols, colorants and fragrance are all irritants that can cause dermatitis. We recommend mineral makeup for its purity and non-comedogenic properties.

  • Be sure to clean your makeup brushes, replace your sponges and apply clean (new) makeup to minimize risk.

  • Avoid sun exposure. If you must be in the sun, apply and reapply SPF every 2 hours, wear a hat and seek shade.

  • Avoid exposure to excessive heat, heavy workouts, steam rooms and saunas for 24-48 hours post treatment.

  • Wait 7 days before having any facial waxing done. Waxing may be done prior to dermaplaning. The esthetician will only dermaplane up to the waxing border so as not to over stress your skin.
