Dermaplaning

What is Dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning is a method of physical exfoliation using a sterile, surgical scalpel to gently shave the skin’s surface, removing the top-most layer of dead skin along with fine, vellus hair (aka peach fuzz). This painless procedure leaves the skin silkier smooth than other exfoliation techniques due to the hair removal process.

What are the benefits

A Derma plane facial is a safe and pain free procedure for removing dead skin cells, it eliminates soft facial hair that traps dirt and oils, it promotes smoother skin, reduces the appearance of acne scars, and diminishes the look of fine lines. The skin will be left smooth and naturally radiant!

Who shouldn’t get a derma plane facial?

A Derma plane facial is appropriate for all ages and for most skin types, but if you have deep cystic acne or sensitive skin, you may want to sit this treatment out. If you have acne, wait until breakouts are clear. For sensitive skin, note that 21 days’ worth of dead skin cells will be removed, so skin will be more sensitive post-treatment. It is also worth noting that Dermaplaning is only meant for the face, not the nose, neck, or chest. 

What is included in a Derma plane Facial?

Before your first Dermaplaning treatment a full and thorough consultation is carried out to inform you of what the treatment entails and to establish your skin concerns. Dermaplaning is suitable for all skin types, male and female except those with active pustular acne. Your initial consultation will take around 15-20mins.
