What dermaplaning includes
Skin Preparation
Dermaplaning begins with a thorough cleansing of the skin to remove makeup and impurities. This step ensures that the skin is prepped for the exfoliation process, allowing for better results.
Exfoliation Process
The main component of dermaplaning involves using a sterile surgical scalpel to gently remove dead skin cells and fine vellus hair. This process not only smoothens the skin's texture but also enhances the effectiveness of skincare products.
Post-Treatment Care
After the procedure, a soothing serum or moisturiser is often applied to hydrate the skin. Clients may also receive guidance on post-treatment skincare to maintain results and protect the skin from sun exposure.
Skin Type Consideration
Dermaplaning is suitable for most skin types but may be tailored for specific concerns such as acne or sensitivity. A consultation may precede the treatment to assess individual skin needs.
