Dermaplaning

Service Description

What is Dermaplaning? Dermaplaning is a safe, non-invasive professional exfoliation treatment that removes vellus hair known as “peach fuzz”, and the superficial layer of dead skin. The peach fuzz on our face tends to collect dirt and excess oil in the follicle and sits on the surface of the skin that over time may cause blackheads or will invade your pores. Regular removal is an excellent anti-aging/anti blemish treatment as it keeps pores free of excess oil while preventing premature wrinkles. What are the benefits? Dermaplaning provides an effective and safe exfoliation treatment that promotes deeper penetration of products, boosting the effects of skin care products while making the skin look and feel smoother. It is also useful to reduce the appearance of acne scars. The treatment also removes facial hair that can trap dirt and oils. Makeup looks smoother and more flawless and without the fine layer of hair on the face, light more easily refracts off the skin, creating an ethereal skin glow! How is dermaplaning performed? Dermaplaning is safely performed by using a sterile surgical scalpel to gently “shave” the skins surface; the peach fuzz on your skin is removed, triggering the cell regeneration process and allowing products to better penetrate the skin. Dermaplaning uses a specific scalpel technique that requires a delicate touch and a qualified approach to the surface of the skin. Dermaplaning is performed freehand with a surgical scalpel on tautly stretched skin. The methodology requires short strokes at a certain angle in particular patterns that are dependent on the facial region being worked on. Those with dry skin or those with a rough skin texture will benefit greatly from this technique, as will those with superficial acne scarring or an uneven skin tone.
