Dermaplaning

Dermaplaning, is a gentle method of deeply exfoliating the skin. A surgical blade is worked over the face removing the outer layers of dead skin cells as well as any fine hair.

This treatment is a good alternative for clients with sensitive skin who are not suitable for Microdermabrasion. There is no downtime associated with the treatment. The treatment can be used as a standalone treatment or in conjunction with a chemical peel for better penetration of product. Any fine hair removed during the treatment will not be stimulated or grow coarse. For best Dermaplaning results we recommend a course of 4-8 treatments with 3-4 week intervals, although results will be seen with each and every treatment.

• Avoid direct sun exposure for 5 – 10 days post procedure. This also includes the use of solariums.
