Dermaplane

Dermaplane is a safe, non-invasive treatment which uses a special tool to remove “peach fuzz”, as well as dead skin cells. Dermaplane is performed as a standalone treatment or prior to other skincare treatments to enhance their effectiveness. This is a wonderful form of exfoliation that can be used with or without chemicals. This treatment does not require downtime and will effectively smooth acne scars and give you the smoothest possible skin.

What are the benefits of having a dermaplane?

  • ​Promotes smoother skin removes soft facial hair that traps dirt and oil.
  • Dermaplanning enhances the effectiveness of other skincare treatments such as chemical peels providing deeper product penetration.

  • Reduces recent acne scars

  • Reduces fine lines

  • Produces immediate results with no downtim

Is a dermaplane a safe procedure?

​When performed by a well-trained professional, dermaplanning is very safe.

​Will my hair grow back thicker?

No. This is physiologically impossible. There are two types of hair that grow on your body. Vellus hair, which when cut or removed will grow back the same size and shape, therefore, the main structure of vellus hair does not change and is not altered by dermaplanning. Terminal hair, however, is physiologically coarse. When this hair type is cut it will always grow back coarse. Dermaplanning is designed to treat the vellus hair which is located on the face. Once vellus hair is cut it will maintain a blunt edge and this blunt edge will not physiologically alter the hair itself.

What skin types/conditions can be treated?

All skin types may benefit from dermaplanning. A dermaplane is not recommended if you have acne or an excessive production of sebaceous gland oil. (Sebaceous glands excrete oil along the vellus hair). If the hair is removed, the oils may cause bacteria growth that can stimulate acne breakouts.

Mesotherapy Pre-treatment and Aftercare

  • Do not wash or take a shower for at least 8 hours afterthe treatment
  • Do not take hot baths for 48 hours after treatment.
  • After the 48-hour period, for the first week baths are allowed but are limited to 15 minutes (which will assist with any bruising that may have occurred).
  • Avoid exercising for 48 hours after treatment. Exercise will cause you to sweat and excrete the solution out the pores of the skin, which will decrease effectiveness of the treatment.
  • Drink at least 1.5 litres of water the day of treatment and continue this intake of water for up to one week.
  • Sun exposure must be avoided for 2 weeks after the treatment and until bruising subsides. If necessary, to go into the sun, use SPF 25 or greater at all times.
  • Allergic reaction can occur in the form of small lumps the size of a quarter. Should you notice redness and or small lumps at the injection site, please call us to determine how to treat the area. Note: most reactions remain localised in the area of injection.
