Dermaplaning Treatments
What is Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is a popular facial treatment that utilizes a surgical blade for skin exfoliation, effectively removing dead skin cells and fine vellus hair, also known as peach fuzz, from the face.
Does it hurt?
Dermaplaning is a gentle skin exfoliation treatment that is designed to be pain-free. During this facial treatment, a blade is carefully passed over dry skin, and the only sensation most clients experience is mild sensitivity in the treated area.
What is included with the treatment?
After the dermaplaning step of the treatment, I will use a high-frequency wand to eliminate any residual bacteria on your skin. Following this, I will customize a facial mask tailored to your skin’s needs, enhancing your skin exfoliation process.
Do's and Don't following your Dermaplaning treatment
- Avoid the use of saunas or steam rooms and refrain from any strenuous exercise that causes sweating for 24 hours after your dermaplaning treatment.
- For 24 hours, steer clear of any facial products that contain exfoliating ingredients to prevent further irritation to your skin.
- Please do not apply any makeup for 24 hours.
- Avoid booking any other facial treatments for at least one week following your dermaplaning session.
- For two weeks post-treatment, adopt a very simple skincare routine. Gently cleanse your skin using lukewarm water and a very mild cleanser.
- Be sure to apply moisturizer twice a day to keep your skin hydrated.
- When drying your skin, do not rub it vigorously; instead, gently pat it dry.
- Avoid harsh cleaning products in your skincare regimen.
- Skip the washcloth; use just your clean fingers to cleanse your face.
- Because your skin's natural barrier is compromised, expect increased sensitivity. Stay out of direct sunlight for two weeks after your treatment, and once this period has passed, use a high SPF sunscreen (SPF 30+) to shield your delicate facial skin.
- Keep your skin away from chlorine, such as pools and hot tubs, to prevent irritation.
- Avoid scratching the treatment area.
- After the procedure, apply skin serums, especially those containing hyaluronic acid, to nurture your skin.
- A tingling sensation may accompany your skin for a few days; this is a normal reaction to the dermaplaning procedure.
