Dermaplaning removes dead skin cells and facial peach fuzz by gently removing the top layer of skin with a sterile surgical blade. This mechanical exfoliation stimulates the cell regeneration process, improves skin texture, complexion, and glow, and allows for better absorption of skin care products. It is also an excellent alternative for sensitive skin to other types of exfoliations.
*Complimentary consultations are offered by specialist skin care consultants.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Applying adapted and complementary skin care products (ending with the application of an SPF50 sunscreen) is what completes the treatment. Post-treatment recommendations must also be carefully followed to allow the skin to recover properly.

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.
Patients with active acne outbreaks, extremely oily skin or solar erythema should not receive this treatment.
Dermaplaning is usually performed on the entire face, but it is also possible to treat the skin on the neck in the same session. All skin types and phototypes (even sensitive skin) can be treated with dermaplaning, except for extremely oily skin and patients with active acne breakouts. Men can receive the treatment as long as they are shaved. A session lasts approximately one hour.

The session begins with a double cleanse adapted to the patient’s skin type. The skin is then sanitized with a solution before exfoliation begins with a sterile surgical blade. Once the exfoliation is complete, we proceed with the application of adapted and complementary products. Allow approximately 1 hour for a complete treatment.
The sensation is similar to shaving; you can feel the blade pass over your skin, but there is no pain.
