Dermaplaning w/extractions- $70

​

What is Dermaplaning:

Dermaplaning is a form of manual exfoliation. A surgical blade is stroked along the skin at an angle to gently “shave off” dead skin cells from the epidermis. Dermaplaning also temporarily removes the fine vellus hair of the face, leaving a very smooth surface. As with any type of exfoliation, the removal of dead skin cells allows home care products to be more effective, reduces the appearance of fine lines, evens out skin tone and assists in reducing milia, closed and open comedones, and minor breakouts associated with congested pores. Dermaplaning can be an effective exfoliation method for clients that have couperose (tiny bursted blood vessels near the surface of the skin) veins, sensitive skin or allergies that prevent the use of microdermabrasion or chemical peels. Due to the many contours of the face, certain areas of the face (such as the eyelids and sometimes nose) are not treatable using this method.

What to expect during your treatment:

As your Esthetician, I will perform a thorough skin analysis prior to your first dermaplaning. If dermaplaning is not appropriate, you will be informed during this session and an alternative treatment may be recommended instead. If dermaplaning is not contraindicated, maximum results are obtained by participating in a series of treatments in addition to following a home care regimen. I will review your current daily regimen and skin care products, advise you on which products you should continue to use, and recommend any additional products or changes to your regimen to enhance your desired outcome. As your Esthetician, I take every precaution to ensure that your skin is well-hydrated and calm following each session. However, you may experience excessive dryness or even some peeling between sessions, which may or may not be normal. Always contact me if you have any concerns. More sensitive skin may experience some redness after the first couple of sessions. This normally goes away after 2 to 3 hours. Dermaplaning may cause minor superficial abrasions which may not appear until a day or two following your treatment. If this should occur, please contact me so that I can do a post-treatment follow up with you. After your treatment, SPF 30+ MUST be worn at all times.You are making an investment in your skin: therefore, it is to your benefit to continue to protect it long after your series of treatments is completed.
