Dermaplaning
Enhance your skin’s natural glow with a treatment that smooths and refines.
Dermaplaning is an exfoliation treatment that involves using a small scalpel on clean, dry skin on the forehead, cheeks, chin, nose, and neck to remove dead skin cells and facial hair.
This glowing skin treatment provides immediate results of brighter, healthier-looking skin and smoother makeup application. This technique also encourages cell turnover, which leads to fewer wrinkles and dark spots, the reduction of acne scarring, and the removal of fine facial hair.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Dermaplaning?
Already an established exfoliation technique used in Asia, dermaplaning is now one of the most requested treatments in skin clinics all over the United States. Essentially, the treatment involves using a sterile, surgical-grade scalpel to carefully shave, or scrape, the top-most layer of skin and fine hairs from the face. For many, dermaplaning is the secret to clear, even, smooth and hair-free skin. It’s an excellent rejuvenation treatment for the skin that delivers a youthful, bright complexion.
Is Dermaplaning right for me?
It can be done on any skin type, except those with acne. You could do it at home, but you’d need a photographic-studio level of lighting to pick up the fine hairs, as well as a steady nerve – and hand – so this is one procedure best left to the experts.
What should I do post-treatment?
Eliminating dead skin cells, pollution buildup, and downy hair doesn’t simply create a better base for makeup; it also allows skincare products to sink in more effectively. For the week or so after treatment, your skin will be particularly receptive to anything that you apply, so take advantage and slather on hydrating serums followed by moisturizer.
As with any resurfacing treatment, skin will be more at risk from UV, so ensure it’s protected with a good SPF. If you want a deeper exfoliation, follow with a light, acid-based at-home peel. However, this can irritate, so only attempt one after you’ve had a couple of dermaplaning treatments and you understand how your skin reacts.
