Get ready to experience the incredible benefits of dermaplaning, a treatment that will leave your skin looking and feeling absolutely radiant! The concept behind dermaplaning is quite similar to shaving, but with a twist. A skilled professional uses a sterile blade, expertly angled at 45 degrees, to gently glide across your skin. This carefully, effectively removes dead skin cells, scar tissue, and any other debris that may be contributing to an uneven skin surface.

Every day, your skin faces harsh environmental toxins, irritating substances, and the damaging effects of sun exposure. These factors can lead to a dull appearance and make you look older than you truly are. Dermaplaning works wonders by clearing away those damaged skin cells, allowing fresh, new skin cells to shine through when you look in the mirror.

During your treatment, a disposable sterile scalpel will be used to delicately remove dead skin cells and fine, downy hair from both your face and neck. Your therapist will also incorporate a variety of facial techniques that are specifically tailored to your skin type and needs. This may include the use of invigorating oxygenated steam, an ultrasonic exfoliator, and a relaxing facial massage to enhance your experience. To those opting for the deluxe service you’ll be treated to a luxurious mask, along with a specialized serum that perfectly matches your skin's unique requirements.

If you have sensitive skin, you have the option to begin your treatment with a Glycolic Fruit Acid Peel or Oxygenated Steam, ensuring a gentle yet effective experience. After indulging in this fabulous service, you’ll be amazed at how smooth and fresh your skin feels, leaving you with a complexion that’s as vibrant and lively as a daisy in full bloom!

What to Expect

Get ready to embark on an exciting journey toward a stunning skin transformation! After your dermaplaning treatment, you can breathe easy because there’s no need to plan for any downtime. While you might experience a little redness or a sensation of tightness in your skin for a couple of days following the procedure, rest assured that this is completely normal and just part of the process leading to your beautiful results!

You’ll be thrilled to see an immediate brightness in your complexion right after your treatment, but hold on tight because the real magic happens in the days that follow! As the initial redness subsides, your skin will reveal its full radiance, and you’ll be able to appreciate the incredible results even more.

It’s important to keep in mind that the results of dermaplaning are not permanent. This fantastic procedure effectively clears away up to three weeks' worth of dead skin cells, giving you that fresh, glowing look. To maintain and enhance your fabulous glow, we highly recommend scheduling a retreatment after about a month.

And here’s a crucial tip: after your dermaplaning treatment, you’ll want to be extra vigilant about protecting your beautiful skin from the sun! Sun exposure can reverse the amazing benefits of dermaplaning and may lead to unwanted pigmentation on your freshly uncovered skin cells. So, before you step outside, make sure to generously apply your trusty SPF 30+ sunscreen to keep your skin looking its best!

Preparing for Treatment

As you prepare for your treatment, it’s essential to consider a few important factors. If you’re currently experiencing an active acne flare-up, it’s wise to reschedule your appointment. This will help avoid any further irritation to your skin and prevent any potential tearing of the skin’s surface during the treatment.

Additionally, be sure to avoid direct sun exposure in the week leading up to your appointment. Sun damage, such as a sunburn, can compromise your skin and make the treatment uncomfortable. By taking these precautions, you’ll be setting yourself up for a fantastic dermaplaning experience. Get ready to enjoy the fabulous results that await you!

What are the potential side effects associated with Dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning is a highly effective treatment that generally involves minimal downtime and serious side effects. However, some clients may experience a few mild effects that are typically manageable. These may include increased sensitivity or tenderness in the skin, which indicates a positive response to the treatment. Additionally, some individuals may notice redness or a warm flush, providing a temporary, radiant appearance. A tingling sensation may also occur during the procedure, along with a feeling of tightness as the skin adjusts. Furthermore, dryness or flaking can result from the exfoliation process, and there is a possibility of minor nicks in the skin, which are usually very small and not a cause for concern. Overall, Dermaplaning is a safe and beneficial treatment for many individuals.

Dermaplaning vs Microdermabrasion

Dermaplaning and microdermabrasion are both amazing exfoliating options that will leave your skin feeling incredibly smooth. Dermaplaning uses a sleek surgical blade to whisk away dead skin cells, while microdermabrasion takes a different approach by "sanding down" your skin with an abrasive surface. This can be done with a burst of fine particles or a specialised tool that gently exfoliates your skin.

Both treatments deliver fantastic results, are safe, and have similar potential side effects. Microdermabrasion usually involves a series of sessions, with results that can last for months! If you're torn between these two fabulous options, why not chat with a therapist at Body TLC? They’ll help you find the perfect treatment for your skin goals, and guess what? All consultations are FREE!
