DERMAPLANING

A PAINLESS, DEEPLY EXFOLIATING TREATMENT TO GIVE YOU A LUMINOUS, BUTTERY SMOOTH GLOW.
Our skin is in a constant state of shedding and regrowth, sluffing up to two pounds of dead skin every year. But as we age, skin cell turnover slows down dramatically. Whereas teenage skin regenerates completely every 10-28 days, skin at age 40 takes 45-60 days to regenerate.

Dermaplaning restores the beauty of your complexion by stimulating cell turnover and removing up to 21 days of dead skin cells. This softens the look of lines, wrinkles, dark spots and melasma while promoting production of collagen and elastin, reducing the signs of aging and scarring.

The procedure is relaxing, painless and chemical-free. With meticulous, careful strokes, your Certified Advanced Esthetician caresses the skin with a sterile blade, removing not only the top layer of your skin, but the vellus hairs (peach fuzz) that can create a dull appearance. Your skin is left buttery-smooth and glowing, an ideal canvas for makeup or skincare products.

Dermaplaning can also be used as a pre-treatment to procedures like Microneedling with AnteAge™, HydraFacial™ or a Chemical Peel to encourage deeper penetration of product and a more pronounced result. Because it requires no downtime, it’s a great way to get ready for a special evening, or whenever you need to be camera-ready. Bring your best face forward!

HOW IT WORKS

Dermaplaning is a physical exfoliation process. We use a rounded-tip surgical blade to gently remove up to 21 days’ worth of dry, dead skin cells and peach fuzz in a painless process that reveals the new skin underneath. This increases the skin’s ability to absorb products; it also helps regulate skin problems that arise from excess buildup of oil and dead cells on the surface of our skin, referred to as the “stratum corneum”.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Dermaplaning is a more aggressive, pain free form of physical exfoliation that uses a small rounded tip #10 surgical blade to manually remove up to 3 weeks of dry, dead skin cells.

Dermaplaning is recommended to treat dry, rough skin, acne scarring, uneven skin tone, large pore size, fine lines and unwanted vellus facial hairs-not terminal hairs. Dermaplaning increases product absorption and efficacy. It promotes a smooth texture, brightens skin, reduces hyperpigmentation, creates a clear complexion and is beneficial for overall skin rejuvenation, as it boosts the production of collagen and elastin. Makeup application is smooth and flawless.

There is no downtime post-dermaplaning treatment and you can resume your normal activities immediately following the treatment. There are, however, a few precautions to keep in mind in order to achieve optimal results and a positive experience. See the post care section for more information.

Discontinue exfoliation for 5-7 days prior to scheduled treatment. This includes physical exfoliation (scrubs, Clarisonic) and chemical exfoliation (salicylic, retinol, glycolic, lactic acid, etc.).
If using prescription topical exfoliants, it is recommended that usage be discontinued a full week prior to treatment.

Your skin may be slightly sensitive and have a pink appearance post treatment, similar to a sunburn. Excessive sweating and exercise should be avoided for 24 hours post treatment to reduce irritation. Discontinue use of all chemical and physical exfoliants like facial scrubs and manual facial brushes for 10 days post treatment.

This treatment can be done as a quarterly maintenance plan or in a series of 3-6 consecutive monthly treatments. Your Luxe Laser Certified Advanced Esthetician will help determine the most appropriate treatment plan for your skin.
