This treatment is extremely safe when performed by a properly trained skincare professional. There is no more risk to the skin than when you shave your legs. There is also no downtime associated with this procedure.

Dermaplaning is effective by performing a gentle scraping motion across the skin’s surface. With hair removals such as waxing and threading, most people have the idea that all hair removal is painful, but Dermaplaning is entirely painless. There are risks of cuts on the skin, however, they are small and very minor as the pressure used for Dermaplaning cannot cause a deep cut. These nicks and scrapes heal within 24-48 hours.

Hyperkeratosis is a build-up of dead skin cells on the skin’s surface. By removing this initial layer, a chemical peel is able to penetrate deeper into the dermis resulting in more effective treatment. The conjunction of dermaplaning and a chemical peel leaves the skin refreshed and rejuvenated. Together they promote new skin growth and target problems such as ageing, sunspots and environmental damage.

Dermaplaning takes anywhere between 1hr and 10 minutes and can be performed every 3-4 weeks. The treatment itself removes approximately 21 days' worth of dead skin so it is important to let your skin rejuvenate before your next appointment.

Dermaplaning is only to be performed on the face (excluding eyelids and lips). The treatment cannot be offered on any other part of the body.
