Dermaplaning

Short on time but need a fast, effective treatment that will leave your skin noticeably smooth and bright? Do you have undesired facial peach fuzz, dull or lackluster skin, fine lines and wrinkles, rough texture, and dehydration? Dermaplaning is the perfect solution!

The Treatment 

This treatment includes a double cleanse and proper skin preparation for dermaplaning. We use a single use, sterile blade designed specificlly for dermaplaning to safely remove the vellus hair and provide gentle exfoliation of the skin. We then apply a light enzyme exfoliation to gently polish away any remaining dead skin cells. Next, we  apply a hydrating masque and finish your treatment with a moisturizer, mineral SPF and lip masque.

What to Expect

Dermaplaning is an excellent anti-aging treatment and will provide both immediate and cumulative results with each treatment. Dermaplaning is a physical form of exfoliation that removes dead skin cells and the fine, vellus hair from the surface of your skin. This treatment is extremely safe when performed by a trained skin care specialist utilizing the appropriate tools and practices for the service.

Treatment Benefits

Dermaplaning immediately rejuvenates the skin by removing the top layer of skin cells from the stratum corneum along with vellus hair. It is highly effective in minimizing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and acne scars, while leaving skin smooth, supple, and vibrant. It has been utilized in medical practices for over 40 years to prepare the skin for chemical peels and laser treatments. In spas it is often the exfoliation step in antiaging facials.

Dermaplaning increases the penetration of active ingredients in the treatment room and enhances home care products. It creates the perfect canvas for makeup application and is the go to treatment to prepare for special occasions and photographs.

Post Dermaplaning Care

Following these instructions will maintain your results longer and help you avoid complications.   

  • Use a gentle cleanser and cool, not hot, water. Do not use abrasive cleansers, washcloths, Clarisonic, or hot shower spray for the first 24-48 hours. 

    Do not use cleansers, serums or spot treatments containing retinol, salicylic acid or Benzoyl Peroxide (BPO) for 5 days following treatment. 

  • Hydrating and brightening toners applied with a cotton round will penetrate deeper into the skin. If you are sensitive, try all products on a small area before applying to the full face. 

  • Active ingredients in serums penetrate much better now, so you’ll see quicker results. Please do not use the alcohol or acid forms of Retin-A for 5 days pre and post dermaplaning. *Your Environ products are safe to use starting tomorrow.

  • Choose a hydrating moisturizer and apply twice daily. It’s common for skin to feel tight but dewy to the touch. This is good and will only last a short time. Moisturizer locks in skin’s hydration with the added absorption of its active ingredients.

  • Your skin is more vulnerable to UV rays after exfoliation. A mineral SPF is essential to protect your skin - even on cloudy days when UVA (aging) rays are present. Avoid sun exposure as much as possible. If you must be in the sun, apply and reapply a mineral SPF every 2 hours, wear a hat and seek shade.

  • Makeup can irritate skin after dermaplaning. Bacteria, alcohols, colorants and fragrance are all irritants that can cause contact dermatitis. Be sure to clean your makeup brushes, replace your sponges and apply clean (new) makeup to minimize risks.

  • Avoid exposure to excessive heat, heavy workouts, steam rooms and saunas for 24-48 hours post treatment.

    Wait 7 days before having any facial waxing done. Waxing may be done prior to dermaplaning. The esthetician will only dermaplane up to the waxing border so as not to over stress your skin.
