DERMAPLANING
Dermaplaning is a manual exfoliation treatment where dead skin and peach fuzz are removed using a sterile blade. Dermaplaning is safe and pain-free (it feels like a tickling or light brushing). Most skin types can benefit from dermaplaning, and it’s safe for men and women of all ethnicities and ages—even for pregnant or nursing women.
BENEFITS OF DERMAPLANING
ENHANCED PRODUCT PENETRATION
One of the greatest benefits of this superficial exfoliation treatment is its ability to promote deeper, more even penetration of active products like serums.
REMOVAL OF HAIR
The temporary removal of “peach fuzz” creates a brighter and smoother skin tone and texture.
SMOOTHER MAKEUP APPLICATION
Dermaplaning creates a smoother canvas for makeup application. This is thanks to the removal of fine facial hair and excess dead skin which can hold onto foundation and make it look uneven and blotchy.
INCREASE MATRIX PROTEINS
Matrix proteins, such as collagen and elastin, are largely responsible for the visible signs of aging. The exfoliation of the skin from dermaplaning promotes the production of collagen and elastin, helping to improve the appearance of signs of aging and scarring.
HYPERKERATOSIS REDUCTION
Hyperkeratosis is a buildup of dead skin on the outermost layer of your epidermis. That buildup causes dullness, ineffective product penetration, and acne. Dermaplaning reduces the thickness of the outer layer of the skin to correct those skin conditions, while increasing the thickness of the remaining epidermis and dermis.
IMPROVE HYPERPIGMENTATION
Dermaplaning is most beneficial for hyperpigmentation because of its ability to increase penetration of products that inhibit the production of melanin such as hydroquinone, kojic acid, lactic acid and retinols.
ACNE SIMPLEX REDUCTION
Non-pustular and non-inflamed acne respond very well to this treatment. The removal of the outer layer prevents breakouts and enhances the penetration of topical acne products.
