So What's All The Hype With Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is a medical grade exfoliation treatment. With similar goals as microdermabrasion, Dermaplaning is a resurfacing exfoliation trestment which we use a medical grade blade to lift the skin off the skin, rather than pulling or tearing motion like microdermabrasion.
Although both treatments are great, we like to assess the skin to see which option is most suitable.
We like to use Dermaplaning near me for more delicate skins, as we are able to gently lift away the skin cells. We can achieve a deeper exfoliation for delicate skins with minimal irritation or trauma to the skin. On the other hand. We may choose microdermabrasion for someone who has more textured, or thicker & more porous skin.

What to expect during a Dermaplaning treatment.
Your skin care specialist will thoroughly analyze your skin and ensure that you are in fact a candidate for this treatment. She will then cleanse your skin, and make sure it is completely dry prior to starting.
She will carefully run the blade along your skin at a 45 degree angle, ensuring to complete the right amount of passes for your skin type and condition. on average we usually complete 8 passes in an upward direction. As the blade moves across the surface of your skin, vellus hair will also be removed in the process.
Vellus hair is the thin, clear tiny hairs or “fuzz” we may see or feel on our skin. Where as terminal hair is the darker pigmented hair. We always ask clients to remove any terminal hair they don’t want touched with blade, although we have never had an adverse reaction when it comes to the hair structure and characteristics changing.
