Dermaplaning Montreal

Dermaplaning is a gentle exfoliation treatment offered at our Dermapure clinics in Montreal that uses a sterile, precise blade to remove dead surface cells and fine vellus hair (often called “peach fuzz”). It is performed mainly on the face, and the neck can be treated in the same session.

Dermaplaning is most often chosen by patients who would like instantly smoother, brighter-looking skin, a more even surface for makeup, and better absorption of their skincare. It is comfortable, suited to most skin types including sensitive skin, and involves no downtime. It is often added before another facial or treatment to help prepare the skin.

Because every patient’s skin is different, dermaplaning at our Dermapure clinics in Montreal begins with a skin assessment to confirm it is suited to your skin and tailor the session to your needs. Book your appointment with our team in Montreal.

What to Expect During Your Session

Step 1
Thorough skin cleansing
Eliminating superficial impurities and removing all traces of makeup by double cleansing, with a cleanser adapted to the patient's skin type is the first step of the treatment. It will also be necessary to remove the lipidic film from the treated area with a gauze soaked in an alcohol or acetone-based solution to prepare the skin to receive the treatment.
Step 2
Mechanical exfoliation
This stage involves scraping the top layer of the skin in the opposite direction of the hair growth with a sterile surgical blade. This step will trigger a cellular regeneration process and allow the products to better penetrate the skin.
Step 3
Application of an exfoliating treatment
Applying an exfoliating treatment will exfoliate the skin thoroughly and prepare it for the treatments that follow. It is possible - and normal - to feel a tingling sensation and warmth at this stage, as the solution begins its exfoliating action.
Step 4
Reaction time
Allowing the exfoliating treatment to work on your skin will take 2 to 5 minutes. The technician will use a timer and will remain attentive to the visible signs on your skin during the entire time.
Step 5
Neutralizing the exfoliating treatment
Stopping the action of the exfoliating treatment is done by gently passing a gauze soaked in a neutralizing solution over the face. Any sensation of heat will be instantly soothed.

Follow-Up & Maintenance

While the skin is generally brighter immediately after a dermaplaning session, the effects are optimal after a series of treatments at 4-to-6-week intervals. The exfoliation achieved with dermaplaning allows products to better penetrate the skin, which increases their effectiveness making it an ideal option to prepare the skin to receive another treatment. Dermaplaning can be combined with many of the treatments available at Dermapure and is recommended, for example, before a SkinCeuticals Facial or photorejuvenation. Ask your consultant about the ideal combination for your skin.

Contraindications

Patients with active acne outbreaks, extremely oily skin or solar erythema should not receive this treatment.
