Vellus Hair Removal (Dermaplaning)

There’s a buzz going on about why “shaving” or Dermaplaning is so great for the skin. Well, truth be told with summer in full bloom, peach fuzz or vellus hair is more noticeable in the bright light and this is a gentle, quick and effective way to get rid of that unwanted fur and exfoliate at the same time. The areas of most concern are the sides of face and upper lip. Men are at a huge advantage because when they shave they’re actually exfoliating too which helps with cell rejuvenation which helps with firming the skin-yeah!
Using a sterile blade the skin is feathered very lightly and is scraping off the dead epidermal (top) layer and removing the hair as well. It’s perfect for those using retinols or other topicals/orals that can sensitize the skin. Waxing is not appropriate for retinol users and sensitive skin. This procedure allows the skin to be super smooth which helps products reach deeper into the skin and creams/makeup sit better on top of the skin. The hair grows back at the same rate and the same texture as before the treatment. The myth of hair growing back thicker and darker is simply that, a myth.
It’s an ideal treatment for pregnant/lactating moms too as there are no chemicals involved. I’ve had multiple treatments and I really love the two-for-one result with a smoother texture skin and an epidermal exfoliation as well. For those wanting to kick it up a notch, you can add a professional peel after the dermaplane.

In between appointments, you can get the job done safely at home with a Tinkle Brow Shaper. You won’t get as close of a shave but it really makes a difference and it’s very easy to use. You can Youtube how to use one but once you get the hang of it, you might get addicted! It’s an economical way to go too.
