Deep Exfoliation & Vellous Hair Removal

Dermaplaning is the controlled scraping of the skin using a sterile, surgical blade held at a 45 degree angle for the removal of keratinized cells on the outer stratum corneum and fine vellous hair (peach fuzz). Skin is immediately rejuvenated, smoothed and revitilised and the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and acne scars are minimised with consistent treatments.

This treatment is performed by a university-qualified Dermal Clinician to ensure a safe and effective treatment.

FAQ

What is the pre-care?

Before the treatment ensure no botox and filler treatments at least 2 weeks prior, no Retin-A or retinol products have been used at least 5 days prior and no harsh treatments such as chemical peels or IPL at least 14 days before treatment.
The skin must be pre-treated with at least a medical-grade retinol and vitamin C 4 weeks prior to treatment to strengthen the skin and prevent hyperpigmentation, scarring and other adverse effects.

What is the post-care?

After the treatment do not use products containing AHAs, BHAs, Retin-A, retinol, vitamin C or any other harsh ingredients until the skin is no longer sensitive, avoid excessive heat on the skin e.g. hot baths, showers and saunas and avoid heavy workouts for 24-48 hours, do not exfoliate the area or use abrasive wash cloths for 24-48 hours. Your skin will be more susceptible to UV rays after treatment so avoid sun exposure and wear SPF 50+ sunscreen even on cloudy days. Makeup, dirty facial tools e.g. brushes and fragrances may irritate the skin and cause contact dermatitis. Wait 7 days before hair removal.
A medical-grade gentle cleanser and SPF must be used until the skin is no longer sensitive (5-7 days).
