Dermaplaning Facial

What is a dermaplaning facial?

Dermaplaning facial, is a non-invasive skincare procedure that involves the use of a sterile surgical scalpel to exfoliate the outermost layer of dead skin cells and remove fine facial hair, often referred to as "peach fuzz."

Here's how a dermaplaning facial is carried out:

1. Cleansing: The skin is thoroughly cleansed to remove makeup, oil, and any impurities.

2. Preparation: Our skincare esthetician prepares the skin for the procedure, ensuring that it is dry and clean.

3. Dermaplaning: Using a sterile surgical scalpel held at a specific angle, our esthetician gently and carefully scrapes the scalpel across the skin's surface. This motion removes the outer layer of dead skin cells and the fine vellus hair (peach fuzz) that may be present on the face.

4. Post-Treatment Care: After dermaplaning, a moisturizer and sunscreen are often applied to protect the newly exposed skin and help soothe any potential redness. Visit us at our San Francisco or Los Angeles (Encino) locations!

 

Benefits of dermaplaning facial:

1. Exfoliation: Dermaplaning effectively removes dead skin cells from the surface, promoting a smoother and brighter complexion.

2. Peach Fuzz Removal: The procedure also eliminates fine facial hair, resulting in a smoother texture and better makeup application.

3. Enhanced Skincare Product Absorption: After dermaplaning, skincare products can penetrate the skin more effectively, as there is no barrier of dead skin cells and peach fuzz.

4. Reduction in Fine Lines: The exfoliation process can temporarily minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

5. Instant Gratification: Unlike some treatments that require downtime for healing, dermaplaning usually involves minimal to no downtime, allowing individuals to return to their regular activities right away.

It's important to note that in order to maintain the benefits, regular treatments are recommended.
