DERMAPLANING
Essentially, a dermaplane facial is an exfoliation and hair removal treatment carried out by our trained therapists during which the surface of the skin is gently scraped using a surgical scalpel to remove dead skin cells and peach fuzz – the small hairs found on the face.
As we age, our cell turnover decreases and this affects our skin texture and tone, Dermaplaning gently buffs the top layer of dead skin cells away helps to reveal a brighter and smoother complexion leaving skin ultra-smooth and perfectly prepped for make-up, so it takes on an “airbrushed” finish.
Dead skin cells make your complexion look dull and contribute to clogged pores and spots. Dermaplaning clears the way so skin peels, facials, skin products and serums can get down into the skin where they need to be rather than sitting on the skin’s surface. It also removes peach fuzz / vellus (fine) hair on the face and creates clear channels into the skin as well as a soft, smooth surface for makeup to glide on flawlessly.
Prior to any of our dermapaning facials we will thoroughly cleanse using our ZO face wash. Next the dermaplaning is done with a sterile micro-blade held at a 45-degree angle and brushed along the surface of the skin to remove thin layers of dead skin cells and fine hairs. This is then followed 20 min Dermalux LED
Hair on the face is a type known as villous hair, rather than the dark, thick terminal hair that grows elsewhere. Shaving the face does not in any way cause vellus hair follicles to transform into terminal hair follicles.
There will be increased glow to your skin with an even complexion, reduction of hyperpigmentation, improved skin tone and a reduction of ‘peach fuzz’ vellus hair. Skin may be a little pink immediately after treatment but this normally subsides within an hour or so. Repeat treatment is recommended once every 1-2 skin cycles (approximately 6-12 weeks).
Some patients may experience excessive dryness or even some peeling between sessions, this usually subsides with 2 or 3 hours after the treatment. More sensitive skin may have some redness after the first couple of sessions, which usually goes away quickly as well. Dermaplaning may cause minor superficial abrasions, which may not appear until a day or two following your treatment.
Avoid physical activity until all redness has subsided. Further after care includes using a post treatment ZO cleanser twice daily, followed by a ZO programme as well as SPF SPF 30+ at all times for a minimum of two weeks. In addition, direct sunlight exposure and tanning beds should be completely avoided immediately following treatment.
