WHAT IS DERMAPLANING?
Dermaplaning removes the outer layers of dead, dull skin with a fine blade. It evenly skims off the surface layers of skin. This leaves skin clean and smooth. There is no downtime and your skin looks better right away.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF DERMAPLANING?
Dermaplaning helps to refinish the skin’s top layers. This improves acne scars; smoothes out facial wrinkles, and sometimes removes growths called keratoses. Dermaplaning also temporarily removes unwanted fine, lightly colored hair from the face. It is our only procedure that safely and effectively removes this type of hair.
HOW LONG DOES A TREATMENT TAKE?
A dermaplaning treatment takes less than 30 minutes for the full face.
DOES IT HURT?
Dermaplaning does not hurt. It feels like something’s mildly scratching. There is no facial redness after treatment.
WHERE SHOULD I GO FOR DERMAPLANING?
Only a licensed professional with the knowledge and skill required to achieve optimum results should perform dermaplaning.
CAN DERMAPLANING BE COMBINED WITH OTHER TYPES OF TREATMENTS?
Absolutely! Dermaplaning prior to other skin care treatments like HydraFacial™ or chemical peel enhances their effectiveness. Also many patients take advantage of the visit to have Botox®, a purified protein that reduces frown lines between the brows as well as a dermal filler like Juvederm™ that corrects fine lines and enhances lips.
