Derma Planing
Derma Paning is a safe and highly effective physical exfoliation procedure.
The Treatment
The treatment requires the use of a sterile, surgical scalpel to gently glide over the skin’s surface, removing the top-most layer of dead skin along with fine, vellus hair (peach fuzz).
The procedure can be performed monthly, in less than thirty minutes, with no downtime. Dermaplaning is only performed on the face; it is not meant to be used to shape eyebrows, which are made up of stronger (terminal) hairs. The facial hair is softer vellus hair.
The Benefits
The effect of exfoliation triggers the cell regeneration process and allows products to better penetrate skin.
Dermaplaning is an excellent way to rid the face of all fine hairs which can often trap dirt and oil. Contrary to popular belief, vellus hairs, as opposed to terminal hair, will not grow back thicker or darker.
Benefits includes
- Increases the absorption of active products.
- Removes fine facial hairs.
- Leaves skin soft and smooth.
- Removes some sun damage.
- No tugging or pulling of the skin
- Will not interfere with Botox, Facial Fillers, or Skin Boosters.
- Can be performed on most skin types.
- No contraindications for pregnant women.
- No downtime.
Who would benefit?
Dermaplaning is especially effective for those with dry or rough skin, and it helps to minimize superficial acne scarring or uneven skin tone. It is beneficial for mature skin, which tends to have a buildup of dead cells as cellular turnover is slower.
Dermaplaning is safe for pregnant or breast-feeding clients who cannot have chemical peels. Those with very oily or active acne should avoid this procedure as well as anyone with thick, dark facial hair.
Minimum SPF 30 should be applied post treatment and used for at least a week afterwards.
