DERMAPLANING
Dermaplaning is a very popular and safe facial treatment manually removing dead skin cells and vellus hair (peach fuzz). This treatment uses a blade to skim dead skin cells and vellus hairs from you face.
Our skin is exposed daily to harsh environmental toxins, irritants and sun. This causes damage to the skin making it appear dull and aged. Dermaplaning removes these skin cells leaving the skin looking brighter, smoother an more radiant with an instant glow.
Manual exfoliation triggers the cells regeneration process and allows the products to penetrate into the skin better. This is a grate treatment to prepare for the skin for resurfacing treatments such as chemical peels.
All Dermaplaning treatments include: Double cleanse, Tone, Dermaplane, Mask, Moisture and SPF. The Deluxe dermplaning also involves a pre treatment C02 mask and LED light therapy.

Please be aware of all facial treatments your skin can go through a phase of skin purging. This means some products contain active ingredients that speed up your skin exfoliation rate (cellular turnover). This can feed existing spots below the surface causing a once-off purge. It's your skin kicking out the dirt that was hiding in your skin. In other words, the pimple would have appeared anyway. Purging made them show up faster. Once the purge is over, the breakout will be gone. This only happen to a very small amount of people.
