Preparation & Aftercare

Preparation

Avoid waxing 7 days before and after this treatment.
Avoid topical products 24-48 hours before this treatment such as Tretinoin (Retin-A), Retinols, Retinoids, Glycolic Acid, Alpha Hydroxy Acid, Salicylic Acid, or other anti-aging and acne products.
Avoid waxing, bleaching, tweezing or the use of hair removal cream on the area to be treated.
A history of herpes or cold sores may require a course of anti-viral medication pre and post treatment.
You should wait 7 days after receiving Botox or Dermal Fillers to receive treatments.

Aftercare

Do not use heavy makeup for the first day.
Rinse skin gently (with water only) and pat dry/do not rub.
Use a gentle moisturiser and cleanser as needed.
Avoid sun exposure as much as possible for a minimum of 3 days post treatment. If you must be in the sun, apply SPF 30 or greater.
Avoid excessive heat (heavy workouts, steam room or saunas) for 1-2 days – increasing the body temperature can cause irritation (and possibly injury) to the fresh skin
Avoid chlorine for 24 hours.
Avoid any scrubs or products containing any exfoliating agents (retinoic acid, retinol, tretinoin, retinol, benzoyl peroxide, glycolic acid, salicylic acid, astringents, etc.).
You may resume the regular use of these products in 5-7 days.
Do apply serums as absorption levels will are increased. Use Hyaluronic Acid if skin is dry.
Dermaplaning can sometimes create scraping, nicking and/or abrading of the skin.
Do not pick, peel, scratch, or aggressively rub the treated area – you may tear the skin surface causing a wound (and preventing normal healing).
Light scabs may form in the treated area and remain for 24 to 48 hours.
Occasional stinging, itching, redness and/or dryness can occur during the first 24 hours.
A moisturiser or calming serum can be applied to alleviate the symptoms.

FAQS

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to commonly asked questions about our dermaplane services.

Who can do Dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning is recommended for all skin types and colours except those with active breakout and men with heavy facial hair. If you have active acne, it is necessary to wait until breakouts are healed before trying this treatment. This is a great treatment if you are pregnant or nursing and want exfoliation without the use of chemicals.

Who shouldn’t do Dermaplaning?

– Active acne (grade 3 or 4)
– Blood thinners
– Tendency towards keloid scarring
– Recent treatments, including: laser, chemical peels, plastic surgery, microdermabrasion (on average 2-3 weeks post treatment, discuss with your esthetician)
– Certain medications that thin the skin (i.e. Retin A and Accutane)
– Allergic to nickel
– Patients with active cold sores or warts, wounded, sunburned, excessively sensitive skin, healing problems, dermatitis or inflammatory Rosacea in the area(s) to be treated should be excluded from the DermaPlane procedure because it could potentially precipitate a flare up or spread the condition
– Patients with a history of allergies, rashes or other skin reactions may be sensitive to treatment
– Dermaplane is not recommended if you have taken Accutane within the past year or received chemotherapy or radiation therapy

Will my hair grow back thicker and darker?

No, dermaplaning will not alter your natural hair growth. Hair growing back thicker after shaving is one of the oldest beauty myths there is. While it may appear that way, the prickly unwanted guests are just growing back blunt-ended. This gives them a coarse texture, but rest assured, they aren’t actually any thicker or darker than they were originally. In the same way, shaving your face will not stimulate more hair growth so you have nothing to fear from the treatment and the growth cycle of your hair will remain the same regardless.

What is the recommended time frame for Dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning removes 21 days worth of dead skin cells, so it’s best to allow the skin to complete its rejuvenation cycle before your next treatment. Treatment recommended to be done every 4 to 6 weeks

Can you treat clients with active acne/breakouts?

While dermaplaning can help reduce the appearance of acne scars, it is not advised for those with active acne and/or frequent breakouts. The procedure can end up leading to over activity in sebaceous glands in these patients, leading to excess oil, and as a result, breakouts. Those with very sensitive skin conditions (such as rosacea) should also consult an esthetician before treatment to ensure dermaplaning is safe.

How is Dermaplaning different to a peel?

Dermaplaning is a manual exfoliation process that does not use acids or enzymes to remove dead skin cells. All of the exfoliation is achieved during your treatment and you will not peel or visibly shed skin after your service, while Peels can result in dramatic peeling in the days following a service. Dermaplaning provides a good alternative to peels for those who desire professional grade exfoliation without the potential social downtime.

What should I expect to feel during the treatment?

Dermaplaning is a painless treatment that includes deep cleansing, professional exfoliation in the form of dermaplaning followed by skin care suited to your unique skin. Dermaplaning has a similar sensation to close a shave which removes vellus hair and dead skin cells simultaneously.

What should I expect after Dermaplaning?

You’ll immediately look more radiant with a more even skin tone and texture. While the main objective of this treatment is exfoliation, the immediate removal of peach fuzz is an added benefit which renders the skin exceptionally smooth and soft. Skin care products are better able to penetrate the skin following a dermaplaning service which allows them to work more efficiently. Your cosmetics will also go on smoother. After the treatment, your skin will be highly sensitive to sun exposure and may look pink, so be sure to wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher to reduce the risk of hyperpigmentation.

Can you combine other treatments in the same Dermaplane session?

Yes. You can do the following treatments in combination with a dermaplane session:
– Contouring Mask
– Esthemax HydroJelly Mask
– LED Light Therapy
– Extractions
– Radio Frequency Therapy
– Skin Needling
You can also do facial peels following dermaplaning, as we remove the initial layer of skin, so a peel can penetrate far deeper into the dermis, making for a more effective treatment. We offer Depigmentation peel and Enzyme Peels.

Do you teach Dermaplane and can I do the training?

Yes! Anyone is able to learn Dermaplane via our training as there are no pre-requisites. See TRAINING for more information
