Dermaplaning

Dermaplaning removes 21 days worth of dead skin cells, so it’s best to allow the skin to complete its 30-day rejuvenation cycle before your next treatment.

The procedure usually takes no longer than 30 minutes.

While cosmetic medicine is not without complications or unwanted side effects, we do take every precaution to minimise and limit any complications to offer a safe and comfortable service. Although rare, reported side effects can include but are not limited to the following: redness, dryness, blotches, discomfort and temporary skin changes.

Please arrive with the area to be treated clean and free of make-up. Skin must be intact and free of any open wounds or acne lesions.

Before each appointment, please advise us of any medical conditions or medications that you are taking including antibiotics or steroids. Certain medications can make your skin more sensitive and increase the risk of unwanted side effects.

Seven days before and after your treatment, please discontinue using hair removal cream, fake tan, bleaching products, strong emollients, aromatherapy products and perfumes in the treatment area. 48 hours prior to treatment, please discontinue any skin irritants (Retin-A, Retinols, Glycolic and Salicylic acids).

If you have a history of cold sores, antiviral medication may be used prior to treatment and continued for one week after.

Please note that this treatment is not advisable for clients who have an allergy to nickel.

We highly recommend using sunscreen SPF30+ at all times.

After receiving your dermaplaning treatment, you should be able to commence your daily schedule as normal. Considered a ‘lunch-time facial’, you may return to work following your treatment.

Immediately after treatment, there may be some redness and the skin may feel slightly sensitive. Mineral make-up may be applied after treatment. Avoid picking or scratching the treated skin. You can resume your normal skin care regime 24 hours after treatment, with the exception of any skin irritants. Avoid
hot baths and heat treatments for the first 48 hours after treatment.
