Dermaplaning

Dermaplaning in Vancouver

Dermaplaning is a smoothing treatment designed to refresh your complexion instantly. This non-invasive procedure gently removes dead skin cells and fine vellus hair, also known as peach fuzz, improving your skin texture and radiance. The result is noticeably softer, brighter, and more even-toned skin.

Dermaplaning also boosts the absorption of skincare products, allowing them to penetrate more effectively. Removing vellus hairs improves the application of makeup, making it an ideal pre-event treatment. Dermaplaning is safe, non-invasive, and suitable for all skin types.

How Dermaplaning Works

During treatment, a member of our skilled team uses a sterile, medical-grade scalpel also known as a dermatome to exfoliate the skin using precise and gentle strokes. The procedure is completely painless and highly effective. This controlled technique lifts away dead skin cells, debris, and peach fuzz, leaving your complexion fresh, smooth, and luminous.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is a good candidate for dermaplaning?

You may consider dermaplaning if you have skin concerns such as Acne scars, Actinic keratosis (scaly skin patches that can lead to skin cancer), Dull or dry skin, Peach fuzz (light, soft hair on your face), Skin damaged by sun exposure, Fine lines and wrinkles

Will the fuzzy hair grow back thicker?

Many people worry that the removal of the vellus hair (peach fuzz) will mean it grows back thicker and stronger, like a male beard. This is absolutely not the case. It is impossible for fine, downy vellus hair to change into terminal hair (coarse, stubbly beard hair). Your hair will simply grow back and return as the same peach fuzz.

How often should I book my dermaplaning treatments?

The hairs on the face usually grow back within 4-6 weeks. It’s best to space Dermaplaning treatments farther apart to allow the hairs to be removed easier and have less irritation. The longer the hairs are on the face, the more easy it is for the blade to remove hairs and dead skin cells.

Who shouldnt have dermaplaning?

Some people with pre-existing skin concerns shouldn’t have dermaplaning. Before getting this procedure, have a consultation with one of our knowledgeable and friendly aestheticians if you have an active case of acne, cold sore outbreaks, eczema, moles, freckles, skin tags or other skin growths, psoriasis, skin burns, such as those from radiation therapy, and skin rashes (contact dermatitis).

Can dermaplaning be combined with other treatments?

Yes, we encourage this! As dermaplaning enhances the effectiveness of products and treatments by removing the top layer of dead skin (which blocks penetration), treatments like Microneedling, Laser Genesis and Chemical Peels get optimal results in combination. Combined exfoliation treatments promote healthy skin cell turnover, prevent acne, reduce dark spots and blemishes, and boost collagen production for plumper skin.
