What is Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is a highly effective, non-invasive exfoliation treatment that removes dead skin cells and fine vellus hair (peach fuzz) from the surface of your skin. Using a sterile, medical-grade blade, the treatment gently scrapes away the outermost layer of dead skin, revealing a smoother, brighter complexion. This treatment also helps improve the absorption of skincare products and creates a flawless canvas for makeup application.
Dermaplaning is suitable for all skin types and offers an immediate glow, making it a popular choice for anyone looking to refresh and revitalize their skin.
Benefits of Dermaplaning
- Immediate Smoothness and Radiance: Dermaplaning instantly leaves the skin softer and more radiant, with no downtime.
- Exfoliates Dead Skin Cells: By removing the top layer of dead skin, dermaplaning promotes cell turnover, resulting in healthier, more youthful-looking skin.
- Removes Fine Vellus Hair (Peach Fuzz): Dermaplaning eliminates the fine facial hair that can trap oils and makeup, leaving the skin silky smooth.
- Enhances Skincare Product Absorption: With the top layer of dead skin cells removed, skincare products penetrate deeper into the skin, making them more effective.
- Perfect for Special Occasions: With no downtime and immediate results, dermaplaning is an ideal pre-event treatment to give your skin a radiant, flawless finish.
What to Expect During Your Dermaplane Treatment
- Consultation: Before the treatment, one of our skincare experts will assess your skin type and discuss your goals to ensure dermaplaning is the right choice for you.
- The Procedure: During the treatment, a sterile blade is used to gently remove dead skin cells and vellus hair in light, feather-like strokes. The procedure is painless and typically takes 30-45 minutes.
- Post-Treatment Care: There is no downtime following dermaplaning, and you can resume your normal activities immediately. You may notice a slight pinkness, which typically fades within a few hours. Sunscreen is recommended post-treatment to protect your freshly exfoliated skin.
- Results: You’ll notice immediate improvements in skin texture and tone, with a smoother, brighter complexion that lasts up to 4 weeks.
