All About: Dermaplaning
Immediate results, clearer, smoother skin with no down time!
Dermaplaning is a specialised treatment that removes up to 4 weeks of dead skin cells and unwanted facial hair- all while stimulating collagen and improving skin elasticity.
Dermaplaning is a deep exfoliation treatment which also removes vellus hair (peach fuzz) leaving skin glowing and flawless. With immediate results, the treatment also speeds up collagen production, reduces fine lines and can reduce the appearance of pigmentation.
During the treatment a scalpel is used to ‘scrape’ dead skin and hair from the skins surface. There’s no downtime (you might be slightly pink after but that will calm quickly) and you’re able to carry on as normal straight from your treatment.
As the treatment removes the vellus hair from your face, its a great treatment to have prior to an event as many find makeup sits better on the skin after.
During treatment you’ll feel completely relaxed and its not uncomfortable at all!
Dermaplaning can treat a range of skin concerns including:
Uneven pigmentation/tone
Removal of peach fuzz
Fine lines
Clogged pores
Enlarged pores
Post-acne marks
Mild scaring
Uneven skin texture
Excessive oil
Dry skin
What To Expect During Treatment
What does it feel like?
Dermaplaning is not uncomfortable at all. It can feel slightly scratchy, almost like being rubbed by fine sandpaper, however the treatment itself is very relaxing with the satisfaction of leaving with clean and glowing skin.
Express Facial - 25 minutes
During the express facial, you will be on the beauty couch under blankets like a usual facial.
We will start the treatment with a double cleanse to remove and makeup, dirt and oils from the skin to ensure its clean and dry before the treatment.
A scalpel will then be used across the skin to remove the top, dead skin cells along with peach fuzz.
Following the dermaplaning, a moisturiser will be applied to rehydrate the skin and you’re good to go!
Full Facial - 50 minutes
The full facial follows the first steps of the express facial - with an added relaxation and targeted approach following the dermaplaning. This is the perfect addition as mentioned earlier dermaplaning will allow better product absorption so worth making the most of!
A tailored mask (or masks if areas require different treatments) is applied and a décolletage, upper shoulder, neck, face and scalp massage is performed to relieve tension.
On removal of the mask, serums are applied to rehydrate and target skin concerns and finished with a hydrating moisturiser to rebalance skin.
