THE TURBO CHARGED EXFOLIATOR
How does it work ?
Your face will be cleansed and prepared before your treatment. You’ll recline in a comfortable chair while Cindy uses a gentle blade to scrape small sections at a time, removing just the top layer of skin. It’s a gentle process that shouldn’t cause you any discomfort.​​​​​​​​
​
Who is not a good candidate ?
Dermaplaning is not the best solution for those patients experiencing active acne or psoriasis. In these cases, Cindy will find an even better procedure for you that meets your needs and achieves your personal goals for beautiful, healthy skin.
​
Downtime & Recovery ?
As mentioned earlier, dermaplaning is gentle and non-invasive with typically very little downtime or discomfort. Once your treatment is over, Cindy will apply a soothing moisturizer and sunscreen, and after that, you can return to your normal activities for the rest of the day.
What is Dermaplaning ?
An increasingly popular treatment for brides, entertainment personalities, or anyone in front of the camera, dermaplaning is a non-invasive cosmetic treatment method of exfoliation that uses a 10-gauge scalpel to gently scrape away or exfoliate the outermost layer of skin, eliminating the dull dead skin cells, pigmentation, and vellus hair (or “peach fuzz”) to reveal a smoother, brighter complexion.
Dermaplaning also aids in creating a flawless canvas for makeup to be applied evenly and flawlessly; for this reason, some of our patients schedule their dermaplaning procedures on a bi-monthly or even weekly basis.
​
Dermaplaning is like a turbo-charged exfoliator that can remove up to two weeks of dead skin with results that last up to three weeks. "Many of my clients seek this treatment before a big event, like a wedding or a holiday party," Cindy says.
​​
Who does it benefit ?​
Conducted by highly skilled Cindy, dermaplaning treatments allow for greater penetration of skin care products and deeper penetration of lasers and other devices.
​
Dermaplaning is ideal in preparation for or as a follow-up to our laser treatments—particularly those that leave the skin with dead cells to exfoliate, such as AEROLASE, Plasma Pen—as a means of removing dead skin and abnormal pigmentation and exfoliating the skin for new collagen production.
​
​Dermaplaning regularly and prior to energy-based procedures or peels can yield rapid stimulation of collagen production through cell turnover, thus improving fine lines and wrinkles, acne and acne scarring, pigmentation, and textural issues.
​
To achieve optimal skin exfoliation and aesthetic improvement, dermaplaning is combined with Microneedling, Hydrafacial, Plasma Pen or BioRePeel.
​
Dermaplaning is simple and brief, so it’s ideal for those busy clients who desire no downtime and no discomfort. There are no lasers, no chemicals, no acids, so it’s viable for all skin types and tones. Even women who are pregnant or nursing can benefit from dermaplaning. Similarly, those clients with sensitive skin may also derive aesthetic improvement through dermaplaning.​​​​

CELLUMA LED THERAPY+ DERMAPLANING
Combining dermaplaning with LED light therapy offers a range of benefits including: significantly improved skin texture, reduced appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, minimized acne, enhanced collagen production, even skin tone, better product absorption, and an overall radiant and youthful glow, thanks to the exfoliation from dermaplaning and the targeted healing properties of different LED light wavelengths depending on your skin concern; making it a popular choice for rejuvenating the skin with minimal downtime.
​
How it works:
After the Dermaplaning treatment, the patient is exposed to CELLUMA LED light that emits specific wavelengths of light, which can be targeted to specific areas of the body depending on the desired outcome (e.g., red light for collagen production, blue light for acne treatment).
