What is Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is a method of exfoliation that is taking the beauty industry by storm. The treatment consists of using a scalpel to remove the upper layers of the skin to reveal a smoother and brighter complexion. The scalpel finely exfoliates dead skin cells whilst also removing the fine superficial vellus hair from the face, commonly known as “peach fuzz.” The treatment will produce a brighter and more youthful glow to your skin, leaving a healthy glowing complexion. The treatment allows skincare products to be absorbed more easily. With this repeated procedure it will leave your skin appearance noticeably different from day to day. Clients also find that their makeup sits smoother on their skin following the removal of “peach fuzz”.
How does it work?
The treatment involves using a surgical scalpel to finely exfoliate the top layers of skin (keratinized cells). The treatment is performed on freshly cleansed and dry skin. The scalpel is then positioned at a precise angle and the skin is pulled taut to avoid the scalpel pulling and damaging the skin. The scalpel is then lightly worked across the face, avoiding the nose area, working in sections to reveal a more youthful complexion. SPF is then applied to the skin after the treatment as the skin will be hypersensitive to UV rays.
What is it good for?
This procedure can treat many skin concerns. By gliding over the skin with the surgical scalpel this will lightly exfoliate dull, dry, dehydrated skin, build-up of makeup, fake tan, grime and dirt.
