Dermaplaning is recommended for individuals with dry, rough skin, acne scars, uneven skin tone, and large pores, as well as fine lines and unwanted facial hair. It can produce a smoother skin texture, a clearer complexion, and minimize fine lines and minor scars. Dermaplaning offers a unique combination of skin rejuvenation and facial hair removal benefits.

– Helps to remove light surface wrinkling and improves skin texture

– Lightens uneven hyper-pigmented skin for a more even skin tone

– Helps to unblock blackheads, making the pores appear smaller

– Removes facial hair (hair does not grow back thicker)

– Speeds up new healthy cell production

– Helps remove and prevent pre-cancerous cells

– Helps smooth acne scarring

– Helps with product absorption

While dermaplaning and microdermabrasion address most of the same skin issues, the treatment mechanism and effects can be slightly different. Dermaplaning is a form of manual exfoliation similar in theory to microdermabrasion, but without the use of suction or abrasive crystals. An esthetician-grade, sterile blade is stroked along the skin at an angle to gently ‘shave off’ dead skin cells from the epidermis. Dermaplaning also temporarily removes the fine vellus hair of the face, leaving a very smooth surface.”

Yes! Dermaplaning perfectly complements other skin therapies. You can’t pour water into a cup with a lid on it, and you can’t get moisture to skin that’s parched when its outermost cells are dry and tough. Dermaplaning removes that barrier to let your skin drink in moisturizing serums and anti-aging creams more efficiently. By using it in conjunction with chemical peels, hydra-facial, or microneedling, the product can penetrate more effectively, giving you better results with every treatment. It’s just cost i little more, but what a huge difference it makes!”

Dermaplaning is a safe and effective treatment for overall skin rejuvenation. It is suitable for all skin types, including nursing and expectant mothers. Unlike other types of skin exfoliation, which may use chemicals that are absorbed by your skin, dermaplaning offers a chemical-free deep exfoliation. It can be an effective exfoliation method for clients who have couperose (tiny blood vessels near the skin’s surface), sensitive skin, or allergies that prevent the use of microdermabrasion or chemical peels.

You can expect baby-soft skin! The esthetician will ensure that your skin is well-hydrated and calm following each session. However, you may experience excessive dryness or even some peeling between sessions, which may or may not be normal. More sensitive skin may experience some redness after the first couple of sessions. This normally goes away after 2 to 3 hours.
