You're Just One Dermaplane Away...

The Dermaplane Facial: Unveiling a Radiant, Glowing Complexion

If glowy, healthy skin is at the top of your Summer bucket list, you're in the right place!

By removing the outermost layer of dead skin cells and vellus hair (peach fuzz), the dermaplane facial unveils a brighter, more even skin tone that's primed for optimal product absorption and flawless makeup application.

Intrigued? Let's dive deeper into the world of dermaplaning and explore its benefits, the process, potential contraindications, post-care, and the amazing results you can expect.

The Benefits of Dermaplaning

1. Smooth, hair-free complexion: Dermaplaning effectively removes the fine vellus hair from the face, leaving your skin feeling silky smooth and eliminating the need for plucking or waxing.
   

2. Improved product absorption: By removing the outermost layer of dead skin cells, dermaplaning allows skincare products used during and after the facial to penetrate deeper into the skin, maximizing their effectiveness.
   

3. Brighter, more even skin tone: The exfoliation process helps to slough off dull, tired-looking skin, revealing a more radiant, even complexion.
   

4. Minimized appearance of fine lines and wrinkles: With the removal of dead skin cells and vellus hair, fine lines and wrinkles appear less pronounced, creating a smoother, more youthful appearance.
   

5. Flawless makeup application: With a fresh, smooth canvas, your makeup will glide on effortlessly and appear more seamless, making it the perfect treatment before a big event or special occasion.

The Dermaplaning Process

Dermaplaning is performed using a sterile, surgical-grade blade. The process involves gently gliding the blade across the skin's surface at a precise angle, carefully removing the outermost layer of dead skin cells and vellus hair. The treatment is relatively quick, usually taking around 30-60 minutes (depending on the service), and can be performed on various areas of the face, including the forehead, cheeks, chin, and even the neck and décolletage.

The Results

The results of a dermaplane facial are truly impressive. Immediately after the treatment, your skin will feel incredibly smooth and soft to the touch. Within a few days, you'll notice a significant improvement in your skin's overall appearance, with a brighter, more even complexion and a noticeable reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Additionally, your skincare products will work more effectively, as they can penetrate deeper into the skin without the barrier of dead skin cells and vellus hair. Many clients report that their makeup applies more smoothly and evenly after a dermaplane facial, as the canvas of their skin is refreshed and prepped for optimal application. It's the perfect treatment to book before a big event or special occasion when you want your makeup to look absolutely flawless.

Contraindications and Precautions

While dermaplaning is generally safe for most skin types, there are a few contraindications to consider:

• Active acne or inflamed skin conditions: Dermaplaning is not recommended for those with active acne or other inflammatory skin conditions, as it may spread bacteria and worsen the condition.

• Recent use of certain medications: Some medications, such as Accutane or retinoids, can make the skin more sensitive and prone to irritation. It's best to consult with your esthetician or dermatologist before undergoing dermaplaning if you're taking these medications.

• Pregnancy: Some skincare professionals may advise against dermaplaning during pregnancy due to potential hormonal changes that could affect skin sensitivity.

• Metal allergies: If you have a known allergy or sensitivity to certain metal jewelry, it's important to inform your esthetician. The blades used in dermaplaning are made from surgical grade stainless steel and can contain traces of nickel.

• Diabetes and thyroid disorders: These conditions can affect the skin's thickness and healing process, so it's crucial to consult with your healthcare provider before undergoing any exfoliation treatments.

Post-Care and Maintenance

After your dermaplane facial, it's essential to follow proper post-care instructions to ensure optimal results and prevent any potential irritation or complications. Here are some key tips:

1. Avoid direct sun exposure: Your skin will be more sensitive to UV rays after dermaplaning, so it's crucial to apply broad-spectrum sunscreen and limit sun exposure for at least a few days

2. Gentle skincare routine: Stick to gentle, non-irritating skincare products and avoid using harsh exfoliants or retinoids for at least 24-48 hours after your treatment.

3. Stay hydrated: Dermaplaning can temporarily dehydrate the skin, so be sure to drink plenty of water and use a hydrating moisturizer to replenish your skin's moisture levels.

4. Avoid strenuous exercise: Exercise can cause sweating and increase blood flow to the face, which may lead to irritation or redness. It's best to avoid strenuous exercise for at least 24 hours after your treatment.

5. Avoid makeup for 24 hours: To allow your skin to breathe and heal properly, it's recommended to avoid applying makeup for at least 24 hours after your dermaplane facial

If you're looking to unveil a radiant, glowing complexion and achieve smoother, more youthful-looking skin this summer, a dermaplane facial is definitely worth considering. With its gentle yet effective exfoliation process and immediate results, it's no wonder this treatment is a go-to for clients looking for a glow up pre-vacation, summer getaway or special event.
