Dermaplaning

Dermaplaning requires no chemicals and no down time. It is Safe for Pregnant woman and anyone else who isn’t allergic to steel, (that should cover most of us). It is a great addition for people that exfoliate regularly as well, taking your skin up to a higher level of glow.

Most skin types will see a noticeable and immediate benefit, especially those with sun damage, fine lines, dry patches, and dull skin. Mature skin will really show a benefit because as we age skin turnover slows down leaving more dead skin on top of the living fresh skin.

If you have highly reactive, extremely sensitive skin (like those with rosacea or keratosis pilaris), you may want to consider a different facial procedure, as this might irritate your skin. This is especially true for anyone with inflamed acne.

“Why not just take the ol’ Bic Razor and do it myself?’ You may ask. Well the difference is that a surgical scalpel and a trained professional can safely remove the dead skin cells much more thoroughly and create a much deeper exfoliation than anything available over the counter. Not to mention avoiding the risk of accidentally nicking yourself, then needing to explain to your friends how you cut your face shaving!

Great depending on your skin. Physical exfoliation triggers the process of cell regeneration and allows for better penetration of skin care products. Often, dermaplaning can be followed by a light chemical peel to further accelerate improvement in hyperpigmentation, or it can be combined with a light microdermabrasion to “buff” out the skin. Contrary to popular belief, vellus hairs (thin, light hair found on the face), as opposed to terminal hair (coarse darker hair with deeper follicles), will not grow back thicker or darker when cut. However, dermaplaning is not suitable for those with excessive facial hair or who are experiencing active acne.
