DERMAPLANING
Dermaplaning is a manual exfoliation performed by using a type of a surgical blade that safely and effectively removes the uppermost layer of the skin, specifically dead skin cells that have accumulated over time.
Also known as 'red carpet facial' - dermaplaning will leave your face feeling smooth soft, clean and glowing.
HOW DOES DERMAPLANING WORK?
Dermaplaning is performed as a procedure that generally takes about 30 minutes to complete. Dermaplaning is painless and involves your aesthetician to hold the surgical blade at a 45 degree angle against your skin in order to gently stroke your skin to remove only the epidermal layer. There are no chemicals involved, so this procedure is safe even for pregnant and breastfeeding ladies.

People who wish to have facial “fuzz” removed or suffer from minor acne scars will find dermaplaning to be an ideal technique for improving these conditions. Waxing and tweezing unwanted hair away is painful and often leaves skin irritated, red and bumpy.
Dermaplaning is a painless alternative to these less than pleasant hair removal procedures.
Additionally, the appearance of acne scars that have not recessed into the dermal layer of the skin can be reduced by dermaplaning the skin, sloughing off dead skin cells that exacerbate the visibility of these types of scars.
Depending on the severity of a person’s skin condition, dermaplaning may also be able to improve the appearance of skin discolorations, fine lines, excessively dry, coarse skin and large pores.
Essentially, dermaplaning is an effective skin rejuvenation technique that can give you smoother, clearer and younger-looking skin by diminishing the unattractiveness of a variety of minor skin conditions.
Dermaplaning induces collagen release and also thickens collagen to further enrich your skin’s health.
Will my facial hair (peach fuzz) grow thicker after dermaplaning?
NO! Facial hair that is removed by dermaplaning does not grow back thicker because it is vellus hair. Vellus hairs are translucent, whitish-colored hairs that always return in the same condition that they originally sprouted. It is physiologically impossible for hair to grow back differently, whether it is facial “fuzz”, eyebrows or underarm hair.
