Dermaplaning will gently exfoliate and eliminate surface layers of dead skin cells and unwanted vellus hair (peachfuzz) and will prime skin for our professional enzyme or acid peel. Professional enzymes or acid peels dramatically diminishes the appearance of discoloration,while smoothing texture and renewing the appearance of pores, to restore a brighter, more clarified skin tone. For optimal results, a seriesof 4-6 treatments every 4 weeks is recommended. Risks / Side effects
All things considered, Dermaplaning is very safe.
- Of course, bleeding is possible as the treatment involves the use of a sharp surgical blade. As with your own shaving experiences in theshower, cuts are extremely rare and more annoying than painful.
- Makeup may be applied after Dermaplaning, in fact you may note that your makeup glides on and sits much better on your face after asession than before.
- Your therapist will take every precaution to ensure that your skin is well hydrated and calm following each session. However, you mayexperience excessive dryness or even some peeling between sessions, which may or may not be normal.
- More sensitive skin may experience some redness after the first couple of sessions. This normally goes away after 2 to 3 hours.
- Dermaplaning may cause minor superficial abrasions which may not appear until a day or two following your treatment. If this shouldoccur, please contact us so that we can arrange a post-treatment follow up with you.
- After your treatment, SPF 30+ MUST be worn at all times.
- Always seek medical advice if you have any concerns or complications, as well as informing us. Results
