What is Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning facials is a celebrity favourite, that is because it eliminates that annoying peach fuzz that cakes up in makeup and can be enhanced by harsh production lighting and high-definition cameras.
It buffs away the dead skin cells that make complexions look dull and contribute to clogged pores and spots, also it can help reduce the fine lines.
This treatment clears the way so chemical peels, facials, skin products and serums can have a greater penetration where they need to be rather than sitting on the skin’s surface. It removes peach fuzz / villus hair and creates clear channels into the skin as well as a soft, smooth surface for makeup to glide on flawlessly.
How does Dermaplaning work?
Dermaplaning uses a surgical blade to perform a deep exfoliation. The edge of the scalpel is used at a 45-degree angle to scrape the build-up of dirt and oils in and around the skin and villus hair.
The vellus hair is completely removed during the process leaving skin ultra-smooth and creating the perfect base for make-up application.
What can I expect during a treatment?
After eye makeup is removed the skin will be double-cleansed to create a clear canvas for treatment. Skin is then blotted and degreased using an oil-free toner. The dermaplaning procedure is methodically carried out working the whole face one area at a time. After the dermaplaning is complete we will apply the Beta-Glucan mask, it is very effective burn marks, scars, sun damaged and inflamed skin. It has the ability to leave the skin looking calm, clearer and hydrated. Multiple applications will result in wrinkle reduction due to its effectiveness at stimulating collagen and elastin. To finish a moisturiser lip and eye product applied to complete.
Why not add the Caviar Peel to your Dermaplaning it has all the benefits of the Caviar facial as well as the Dermaplaning benefits witch together enriches the treatment taking it to a new level.
The treatment is completely pain-free and no downtime is required.
Are there any side effects?
Dermaplaning is a very safe procedure. Skin is stretched during the procedure and the blade is always held at a 45-degree angle to reduce the risk of nicking the skin with the blade. If you have dry patches of skin, a small amount of serum is applied to enable to the blade to glide across the skin smoothly.
Skin may be a little pink immediately after treatment due to being stretched but this normally subsides within an hour or so.
Peach fuzz / villus hairs do not come back thicker and stronger. It will grow back at exactly the same rate, thickness and texture as before
How many Dermaplaning treatments will I need?
Dermaplaning treatment can be carried out every 3-4 weeks and removal of peach fuzz / villus hair and dead skin can be achieved with a single treatment.
One of the main benefits of this advanced facial is that it can be paired to enhance the benefits and results of other treatments such as skin peels, microdermabrasion, enzyme treatments, oxygen therapy, transdermal therapy or vacuum therapy. By removing the build-up of hair, oils, dirt and dry skin it increases penetration of product and complementary therapies meaning quicker, better results.
For best results, we recommend a package combining Dermaplaning, Chemical Peel and LED light therapy.
