What is Dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning immediately rejuvenates the skin by removing the outermost layer of dead skin cells and vellous facial hair – also known as “peach fuzz.”

If you look at the tool used for these treatments, you may notice it looks like a razor you would use on your body hair.

The basic concept is the same as shaving. By aiming a sterile blade at a 45-degree angle and dragging it slowly across the skin, it removes dead cells, scar tissue, and other debris that may be making your skin’s surface look uneven.

Your skin is exposed daily to harsh environmental toxins, irritants, and sun damage. This can cause the top layer of your skin to appear dull, and it can make you look aged.

Dermaplaning clears away those damaged skin cells so newer skin cells are what you see when you look in the mirror. In technical terms, this is what is responsible for the removal of keratinized cells on the outer stratum corneum and fine vellous hair!

As a result of this process, it means that dermaplaning is also a highly effective procedure for minimising the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and acne scars, while leaving the skin smooth, supple and vibrant.

 

ONCE THE VELLUS HAIR IS REMOVED WILL IT GROW BACK QUICKER AND THICKER?

 

No, this is physiologically impossible. The soft, fine vellus hair will grow back slowly – usually in about 4 weeks and no different than it was previously.

CAN DERMAPLANING CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE SKIN?

 

Excessive scraping, nicks and cuts can cause damage to the skin. This is why it is imperitive you have a professional technician who has had the highest level of training, and who has the correct tools to do this treatment.

WHAT AREA CAN BE TREATED?

 

Dermaplaning is only to be performed on the face (excluding eyelids and lips). The treatment cannot be offered on any other part of the body.

CAN DERMAPLANING BE PREFORMED ALONGSIDE ANY OTHER TREATMENTS?

 

Yes. Dermaplaning is generally at its most effective right before an LED Light Therapy treatment as it helps to enhance the absorption of light into the skins epidermis, speeding up the benefits

How often do you need Dermaplaning treatments?

It’s best if your skin completes it’s natural rejuvenation cycle. We’ll book your Dermaplaning treatments every 4-6 weeks to allow for this.
