Dermaplaning 101

What is it? This non-invasive professional skin care procedure uses a sharp blade to gently exfoliate the skin and remove dead surface skin cells and vellus hair. 

What are the results? Even skin texture and smooth surface resulting in brighter skin and better absorption of active ingredients. Encourages new fresh soft skin cells to the surface for a youthful appearance. Makeup looks more even and dewy resulting in a natural appearance. Dermaplaning also removes the fine (vellus) hairs on the face revealing illuminated and glowing skin due to the increased light reflecting on the surface. 

Who is it for? This procedure is great for skin that is sensitive to facial waxing or more aggressive forms of exfoliation. It is also great for reducing fine lines and congestion and perfect for all skin tones. 

Does it hurt? When performed by a well trained professional, this treatment is relaxing and virtually painless! Dermaplaning is done by a trained professional and leaves you with a slight rosy hue which dissipates shortly after your treatment. Unlike microdermabrasion, there isn’t a risk of irritating or increasing capillary damage and redness to the skin as it doesn't involve a suction or micro-crystals.

Does it require downtime? No, this is a great lunchtime facial treatment that you can go right back into the office afterwards. In fact, many celebrities have this done right before a big event! It preps the skin to glow for the red carpet flashbulbs and creates the perfect even canvas for a makeup artist.

Can I just do this at home? The tools and protocol we use for dermaplaning in the office are professional grade, sterile and will have a deeper exfoliating effect than what you can achieve at home. We have trained for many years in dermaplaning and professional skin care and know how to do a proper treatment for your beautiful face. For best results, please put the blade down and call us instead.

How often can I have this done? We recommend you wait at least 3 weeks in between your dermaplaning sessions. Most clients will return monthly for best results!
