Dermaplaning: An Effective Exfoliation Technique

Dermaplaning is an exfoliation technique that refinishes the epidermis through a controlled scraping while at the same time removes fine vellus hair that can trap excess dirt and oil. Dermaplaning can be used to treat a multitude of skin imperfections and can be used on most skin types safely and effectively. This procedure can be performed alone or combined with other exfoliation treatments such as chemical peels.

Benefits of Dermaplaning

The benefits of this procedure include minimizing the appearance of fine lines, increased ability for your skin to absorb products, reduces the appearance of hyperpigmentation and acne scarring, stimulates circulation and improves elasticity and texture of the skin. Dermaplaning can be done as often as every two weeks, although it is usually done when vellus hair starts to grow back, which generally occurs in three weeks to one month’s time.

Procedure and Aftercare

Your face will be cleansed then the painless procedure will be performed (feels somewhat like a cat licking your face), we then finish with customized product application to smooth and nourish your skin. You may even opt to add a superficial peel for to amplify the results.

Preparation and Precautions

Please avoid tanning the area that is to be treated. If you do go out in the sun, use sun block and apply every 80 minutes when in direct sun, for at least 3 weeks prior to your treatment. Deeply tanned skin should be treated 4 to 6 weeks after active sun exposure.

For 2 to 3 days prior to treatment, discontinue any irritant topical agents, such as alpha-hydroxy acids, beta-hydroxy acids, glycolic acids, and retinols. These can be resumed one week after procedure.

Please avoid sunlight or use sunscreen religiously. Your skin will look fabulous immediately after and you may resume most activities (please do not work up a sweat for the first 48 hours after procedure).
