"Goodbye Peach Fuzz,

Hello Silky Skin!"

What is Dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning is an intensive exfoliating treatment that removes dead skin and vellus hair (peach fuzz) with the help of a small scalpel.

We carefully angle the scalpel and slowly move it across your skin, removing dead cells, scar tissue, and other impurities that could be making your skin's surface appear uneven. Each time you have a dermaplaning service it removes up to 3 weeks' worth of dead skin cells.

I know what you’re thinking...should women really shave their faces? But the answer is yes! Facial hair known as Vellus hair can exacerbate a build-up of oil and grime on your skin, resulting in clogged pores and a dull appearance. By removing this very fine “peach fuzz’, your skin will instantly feel and appear smoother and brighter. It may sound scary, but removing this hair does not mean it will grow back thicker or darker. Vellus hair is very fine, soft, and thin so there will be no impact on how it looks when it grows back. What you will be left with is super smooth skin, creating the perfect base for skincare and makeup.

What are the benefits?

Dermaplaning effectively removes dead skin cells which over time clog up your pores resulting in uneven skin and comedones (whiteheads and blackheads), which also helps to prevent acne.

Aside from helping you get very soft skin, dermaplaning also smooths out uneven skin texture and gives you a smoother base for your foundation and makeup, since it doubles as a facial hair removal treatment, which means no more cakey makeup for you.

So even if you exfoliate regularly at home, it’s still an effective treatment for removing anything your regular exfoliants can’t.

Who can have it?

Dermaplaning is suitable for most skin types but is particularly effective for anyone experiencing dull or dry skin, or has concerns about hyperpigmentation, fine lines, uneven skin, or acne scarring.

However, we do not recommend the treatment if you have ultra-sensitive skin (rosacea or keratosis pilaris) as it could irritate your skin. We will always carry out a full consultation before beginning the treatment so you can relax knowing you’re in the safest possible hands. 

Does it hurt?

Dermaplaning is completely safe. A surgical blade is used during the service this is a non-invasive treatment and is pain-free.

You will only feel a little pressure and coolness from the blade as it glides across your skin.

Unlike deep exfoliation treatments such as facial peels, there is no downtime needed post service. The only thing we recommend is to keep the skin hydrated and always wear a high factor SPF.

How often can I have it?

Dermaplaning is recommended no more than every 3-4 weeks.

Everyone’s skin is different so we will be able to help you with a personal schedule that suits your skin type.

Does it cause breakouts?

While you shouldn’t dermaplane with active breakouts, dermaplaning shouldn’t actually cause any additional breakouts.

In fact, by removing the buildup of dead skin and excess skin oils from the surface of your pores, dermaplaning may actually help prevent some future breakouts.

What to expect after?

Right after dermaplaning, you can expect some slight redness in your face, but not always, and if you do, it’ll fade quickly.

“It’s perfectly fine and common to make an appointment during lunch and go right back to work after the 40-minute treatment,”.

Mostly, you’ll just have to stop yourself from touching your super-soft face.

Aftercare

• Avoid sun exposure
• skip harsh products
• no makeup for 24 hours.

Try to avoid direct sun exposure for three days after dermaplaning and keep your face protected with sunscreen.

Even though the treatment is fairly gentle and doesn’t hurt, you’re still losing a very thin layer of skin, so your face will be more sensitive to the sun and slightly more susceptible to sun damage.
