dermaplaning
A sterile blade is stroked along the skin at an angle to gently “shave off” dead skin cells from the epidermis, along with fine/vellus hair, leaving a very smooth surface. As with any kind of exfoliation, the removal of dead skin cells allows skin care products and cosmetics to be more effective. It also reduces the appearance of fine lines, evens skin tone and assists in reducing milia, blackheads, and minor breakouts associated with congested pores.
These are the products that will be used during your Dermaplaning session at Added Touch. All of the products used can be purchased for use between sessions.
Does the hair grow back thicker?
No. There are different types of hair that grow on the body; vellus hair and terminal hair. Vellus hair is found on most areas of the body except palms, soles, lips and genital areas, whereas terminal hairs are found on the scalp, underarms and pubic region. The soft and fine vellus hair grows back at the same rate and texture.
Is the treatment safe?
This treatment is extremely safe when performed by an 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 at home is not recommended. This treatment requires knowledge of the skin and a steady hand.
After the dermaplaning exfoliation, we will discuss your skin care concerns. I’ll apply Colorescience All Calm balm or Even Up balm depending on your skin’s needs. A restorative mask, Colorescience Hydrating Mist, and eye renewal therapy will also follow.
What is the difference between dermaplaning and microdermabrasion?
Both options are a form of physical exfoliation. Dermaplaning removes vellus hair (peach fuzz) and dead skin cells from the skin.
