Dermaplaning

Dermaplaning is a deep manual exfoliation that removes the outermost layer of skin cells. It leaves skin feeling smooth, supple, and vibrant. The technique of controlled scraping using a #10 scalpel and a #3 stainless steel surgical blade handle. This procedure can be performed alone or with other exfoliation treatments like chemical peels or derma needling. Oh, and say goodbye to all that peach fuzz! While at the same time removes fine vellus facial hair (tiny translucent or blonde hair) that can hold onto dirt and oil.

Who is derma needling for?

Everyone can benefit from derma needling helping to slow down the aging process, keeping skin looking and feeling young and supple. Acne pigment skin and also clients who are more sensitive to other treatments like chemical peels or lasers where often times can have inflammatory reactions causing flaking or peeling for 5 to 7 days resulting in downtime. No seasonal stops. Effective on all areas of the body: face, hands, chest, neck, knees, stomach, elbows and thighs.

What can dermaplaning do for you? 

We all know it can remove unwanted facial hair, leaving the skin super soft your makeup with go on the skin so smoothly and blend to perfection. Dry skin types will love this treatment, leaving dull flaky skin supple and glowing. Overtime can help to decrease the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and pigmentation. Can help with acne (grades 1 and 2), superficial acne scarring, and comedones (black and whiteheads). Yes! Those bad boys pop right out.

Does it hurt?

Not at all! We do numb the skin for 45 minutes before treatment so you do not feel any discomfort at all.

But if you are blading my face won’t my hair grow back darker and thicker? 

Never! It’s impossible for vellus hair to grow back darker or thicker. It will always grow back the same way.

How many treatments will you need?

We recommend 4 to 6 sessions 4 to 6 weeks apart (or until desired results are achieved) why we need multiple treatments is because we need to keep stimulating the production of collagen, although after one treatment clients will see results depending on condition of the skin multiple sessions are needed.

To further boost the production of collagen we recommend the use of vitamin A product for approximately 2 weeks before and stopping 24 hours before their initial treatment.

Avoid sun exposure including tanning beds 48 hours before treatment. Also stopping the use of any Retin A Retinal’s or glycollic acid 48 hours before and 5 to 7 days after treatment.
