Dermaplaning
What is Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning involves the use of a surgical blade to exfoliate the skin and remove dead skin cells and fine vellus hair (peach fuzz) from the face.
Does it hurt?
Dermplaning is a gentle treatment that does not hurt. The blade is passed over dry skin, so the only sensation that some clients feel is a mild sensitivity to the treated area.
What is included with the treatment?
Following the dermaplaning step of the treatment, I will pass a high-frequency wand over your skin to help kill any bacteria that remains on the skin. I will them customize a face mask based on your skin's needs.
Do's and Don't following your Dermaplaning treatment
-Avoid the use of saunas or steam rooms and don’t engage in any strenuous exercise that causes sweating for 24 hours
-Avoid using any products on your face which contain exfoliating ingredients for 24 hours to avoid irritating your skin any further
-Do not wear any makeup for 24 hours
-Do not book in any other facial treatments for at least one week after your dermaplaning
-Follow a very simple skincare routine for 2 weeks post-treatment. Cleanse your skin gently using water a very mild cleanser
-Apply moisturizer twice a day
-Do not rub your skin dry, instead pat it gently
-Avoid the use of any harsh cleaning products
-Avoid using a washcloth, instead just use your clean fingers to cleanse your face

-Avoid contact with chlorine (pools and hot tubs)
-Avoid scratching the skin.
-Apply skin serums, especially those with hyaluronic acid, after the procedure.
