Dermaplaning
What Is Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is a skin treatment that uses a specialized blade to remove dead skin & hairs. The procedure aims to give facial skin a smooth, youthful, & radiant appearance.
Will the Hairs Grow Back Thicker On My Face?
No, it is physiologically impossible for vellus hairs to grow back thicker. True, once the hair is cut, it has a blunt edge but, this blunt edge does not mean that the hair structure itself has actually been altered.
Benefits of Dermaplaning?
- Provides deeper product penetration.
- Promotes smoother skin.
- Diminishes the look of fine lines.
- Instant results & no downtime.
How Often Do I Need Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is usually performed every four weeks. It is good to have the skin complete its normal rejuvenation cycle, which is 30 days, before going back & having the treatment done.
Can I have Botox or fillers the same day as dermaplaning?
We require clients wait at least 2 weeks between these treatments for best results.
Dermaplaning Aftercare Tips

Chemical Peels
What Is A Chemical Peel?
A Chemical Peel is a technique used to improve the appearance of the skin on the face, neck or hands. A chemical solution is applied to the skin which causes it to exfoliate & eventually peel off. The new, regenerated skin is usually smoother & less wrinkled than the old skin.
Benefits of A Chemical Peel
- Treats Acne.
- Minimizes Pores.
- Stimulates collagen production.
- Erases fine lines & wrinkles.
- Fades discoloration.
- Lifts skin.
- Smooths skin.
- Balances texture.
- Smooths skin.
How Often Should I Get A Chemical Peel?
Mild peels can be repeated every four weeks until you get the results you're after.
When Will I See the Results?
After three to five days, most of the peeling should be complete, but it may take anywhere from five to seven days before you're fresh, new skin has developed.
How Many Chemical Peels Will I Need To Have?
The number of peels required depends on the condition being treated. If you are treating concerns such as sun damage or acne, multiple peels will be required. Some improvement will be seen after each peel, but it typically takes a series of 6 peels to see the full effect.
Post Chemical Peel Treatment Expectations
- Approximately 48 hours after the treatment, your skin may peel, be red, dry, & irritated.
- Skin may take on a sunburned appearance.
- Peeling & redness, if any, may last for 3-5 days.
- The amount of sloughing experienced will vary depending on the condition of your skin & the home care products used.
- The amount of peeling observed is not an indication of the effectiveness of the treatment.
- Acne may temporarily look worse after the first treatment but will improve after additional treatments.
