DERMAPLANING

Dermaplaning is a highly effective procedure for removing the outermost layer of dead skin cells. The Dermaplane will also remove the layer of vellous hair that often covers the face, commonly known as “peach fuzz”—which trap dirt and oil.

The treatment gives the skin a smoother appearance. The removal of the outer layer of skin cells also allows for better penetration and absorption of both pharmaceutical and cosmeceutical products. These skin cells are no longer a protectant, but are a barrier for other procedures and/or products.

Using a sharp bladed instrument to scrape off dead skin is not a “new” idea. Our history has demonstrated this procedure as far back as the Sumerians. Using a device designed specifically for this process and having a sterile, disposable instrument for aestheticians. A highly specialized disposable instrument (one time use) is used to “refinish” the skin’s top layers through a method of controlled scraping. This procedure is safely performed using a sterile blade and handles made exclusively for Dermaplaning. It is safely performed holding the blade at a 45 degree angle and stroked against the skin, just like shaving. However, the skin care specialist is holding the skin taut while stroking gently across the area.

This treatment is extremely safe when used by a professionally trained skin care specialist. There is no more risk than a man shaving his face with a straight edge. It is non-invasive, quick and easy!
