Standard terms and conditions apply.

• Brightens skin
• Improves skin texture
• Reduces the look of fine lines and pores
• Removes facial hair or ‘peach fuzz’
• Provides a smooth canvas for makeup
• Increases circulation and fibroblast activity

Dermaplaning uses a method of controlled scraping with a disposable sterile blade to gently remove the outer most layer of dead skin cells, oil, dirt and facial hair to expose the clear skin beneath. Roughly three weeks or 21 days worth of build up is removed.

Skin will be cleansed, and a barrier oil applied. The blade is then gently scraped across the skin removing the dead skin cells and build up. Following this a hydrating or enzyme mask is applied and where applicable, the LED light therapy will begin. Moisturiser and SPF is then applied to protect the skin.   

• Why do we recommend LED Light Therapy?
  LED light therapy will assist in soothing the skin and reducing irritation, while encouraging skin renewal. To learn more about LED light therapy and its benefits click HERE.

Following treatment, skin sensitivity to the sun and actives is increased. Always use a SPF and refrain from actives for at least 5 days. No excessive heat/strenuous exercise for 24 hours. Drink plenty of water.

Immediately after redness subsides. The days following treatment, you will notice glowing smooth skin.

Dermaplanning can be repeated as often as once every 4 weeks.

Derma planning is great for those suffering from dull, dry and dehydrated skin or those wishing to reduce ‘peach fuzz’. It is suitable for most skin types.

Individuals with inflamed or irritated skin, sunburn or active/cystic acne should avoid dermaplaning until such time that their skin is clear or no longer active.

Contraindictions include:

• Some hormonal imbalances that effect hair growth
• Blood thinners (incl. high dosage aspirin)
• Accutane or isotretinoin (within 6 months)
• Retin A (within 5 days)
• Open lesions or cold sores
• Contagious skin disorders
• Uncontrolled diabetes
• Blood transmitted diseases
• Cancer, prescription strength exfoliants and some medication will require doctor clearance.

It is important to discuss all health related issues or medication you may be taking to ensure safety and optimal results.

Pre treatment

• 1 Week before: Avoid sun exposure
• 48 Hours before: Stop all actives and exfoliants

Post treatment

• No excessive heat/strenuous exercise for 24 hours
• Drink plenty of water
• No actives or exfoliants for at least 5 days following treatment – this may be longer for some skin types due to increased sensitivity
• Minimise sun exposure and apply a SPF30+ or higher every day

Derma planning is a safe, low risk treatment, however, you can expect redness after treatment. This will subside within a few hours for most people. On the rare occasion, some individuals, particularly those new to exfoliation, may experience a mild break out of whiteheads. These will subside on their own within a few days.
