Dermaplaning is a minimally invasive procedure which removes peach fuzz, dead skin, and dirt from the surface of your skin using a thin surgical blade with no pain or downtime. It leaves your skin looking luminous, smoother, and brighter while also assisting skincare products in penetrating deeper for better absorption. Additionally, it aids in minimising the visibility of fine wrinkles and acne scars.

Dermaplaning can be an effective exfoliation method for clients that have couperose (tiny blood vessels near the surface of the skin), sensitive skin or allergies that prevent the use of microdermabrasion or chemical peels.

Due to the contours of the face, certain areas of the face (such as the eyelids and nose) are not treatable using this method.

Who is eligible for dermaplaning? 
This treatment is suitable for all skin types including pregnant & breastfeeding woman. However, this treatment is not recommended for clients with open acne.

Is there any downtime to this treatment? 
Yes, you may experience excessive dryness or even some peeling between sessions, which may or may not be normal. Always contact me If you have any concerns.

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 should occur, please contact me so that I can do a post-treatment follow up with you.

After your treatment, SPF 30+ MUST be worn at all times. Tanning beds should never be used. You are making an investment in your skin: therefore, it is to your benefit to continue to protect it long after your series of treatments is completed.
