What is Dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning (aka Epidermal Levelling) is a manual exfoliation procedure using a specialised straight edge surgical blade or scalpel at a 45-degree angle to exfoliate the epidermis while removing fine vellus hairs. The exfoliation achieved is similar to microdermabrasion but without negative pressure.

Why get Dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning is a safe and effective treatment to improve the texture and tone of the skin, reduce fine vellus hairs and improve the absorption of both treatment and at-home products. This treatment also aids the smooth application of make-up. The procedure involves the use of a patented, single-use blade that works by removing surface dead skin cells and fine downy hair, leaving the skin feeling smooth, soft and hydrated. The procedure is painless, time effective and requires no downtime.

Recommended Course

We recommend getting Dermaplaning done every three to four weeks.

Results

Specifically, dermaplaning will:

Remove superficial Stratum Corneum
Leave the skin smooth and glowing
Remove vellus hair without the harsh effects of waxing.

It can also reduce the appearance of:

Rough, dry skin
Thickened skin
Fine lines and wrinkles
Enlarged and clogged pores
Superficial hyperpigmentation
Uneven skin texture.

After treatment care

General side effects from dermaplaning may include:

Redness and swelling
Itching or irritation
Skin peeling or flaking up to 14 days after the procedure
Short term darkening of skin pigmentation followed by lightening
Breakouts
Reactivation of cold sores
Hair growth: Hair growth is expected to grow back blunt-ended and will initially feel coarse. The new hair will not appear darker or coarser. If hormonal imbalances are present, they may alter normal hair growth. Epidermal levelling does not change vellus hairs into derminal hairs.
