Dermaplaning is a mechanical exfoliation procedure of scraping the uppermost dead skin cells, debris, and fine hair with a surgical scalpel. Although this might sound painful, it is far from it and bring some amazing skin benefits.
Dermaplaning, also known as epiblading, clears away those damaged skin cells and fine facial hair, so newer skin cells are exposed. This, in turn, visibly enhances your skin texture and reveals the smooth, plump looking layers of your skin with no unwanted hair.
Your hair will grow back exactly the same colour and structure as it was prior to Dermaplaning; this is because the actual hair follicles are not being impacted. On the upside, your skin will appear brighter once the dead layer of skin and fine hair is removed.
Before the treatment can start, we will assess your current state of the skin. If you are visiting us for the first time, please allow additional 30 minutes for our complete Body Treatment Assessment.
Our expert Skin Therapists have been through professional training for all our treatments, including Nano Fractional RF Resurfacing, and operate at the highest standards, so you can feel confident you are in the best hands.
Although skin numbing is not required for this treatment, it is available for your added comfort (numbing cream to be purchased separately). If you would like to take advantage of skin numbing, your will receive detailed instructions on the numbing procedure during your Body Treatment Assessment session.
During treatment, you will lay down comfortably while our Skin Therapist delivers the treatment using a professional hand-held device.
You might experience slight discomfort and stinging feeling as the machine traces over your skin, however, the discomfort usually lasts only a few seconds; the areas with thinner and softer skin (for example, neck, under the knee) tend to be more sensitive.
You will experience a little redness after treatment due to the heat used. However, you can go about your day immediately.
The number of sessions you will require to achieve your skin goals will depend on your individual skin program, but is typically 4-6 sessions, 4 weeks apart. Your Skin Therapist will determine the right treatment program for you.
After treatment, it is particularly important to protect your skin from harmful UV rays. For the first 48 hours, it is best to avoid excessive sun exposure, excessive sweating, and harsh chemicals.
