With hormonal changes, pregnancy or even birth control, women can have an unexpected increase in unwanted peach fuzz. Dermaplaning is a quick and pain-free solution to remove unwanted facial fuzz.
Dermaplaning refreshes your facial skin by removing dead skin cells, smoothing skin tone and texture, and allowing for better product absorption. Many of our Denver skin care clients request dermaplaning with other facial services to enhance their results for a bright and hydrated appearance.
Dermaplaning is an exfoliation method great for all skin types. It uses a feathered razor to:
Dermaplaning is a quick and pain-free peach fuzz removal technique in which your Denver Laser Solutions esthetician first washes your face and then moisturizes it with toner. After cleaning and moisturizing, she will then hold the blade at a 45-degree angle, and with your skin taut she will move up and down your face to remove peach fuzz.
The sensation is pain-free and very similar to how shaving your leg feels. The results will last between three to four weeks. Please note, that while there is a myth that your hair will grow back darker and thicker, this is not true. Your hair will grow back exactly as it was.
Dermaplaning is a 45-minute stand-alone treatment coupled with a hydrating mask or it can be added to any of our luxurious facials for a more comprehensive treatment. There is no downtime with Dermaplaning. We do not recommend it for people with cystic acne, as it could irritate the skin. Make sure you wear your sunscreen after this treatment.
The exfoliation in the Dermaplaning treatment is an excellent method for removing unwanted peach fuzz and rejuvenating the skin. Microdermabrasion is another wonderful exfoliating method although it does not remove the peach fuzz like Dermaplaning. Although both treatments offer the benefits of exfoliation Microdermabrasion is better for unclogging pores due to it’s ‘sucking’ technique, while some clients prefer the results of Dermaplanings’ ‘shaving’ technique.
Immediately after Dermaplaning, your skin will feel smooth, hair-free and your skin will look brightener and more reflective. It might just be the softest it has ever felt!
Dermaplaning is an exfoliating procedure that uses a feather blade to remove both dead skin and vellus hair (“peach fuzz”) on the face. This has many benefits, including better product absorption, smoother skin texture, and flawless makeup application. We often combine dermaplaning with our facials since the Denver climate can leave our skin dull and dehydrated.
No, it is physiologically impossible for the hair to grow darker and thicker. Hair grows from the base of the follicle, which is not disturbed by the dermaplaning treatment.
Most of our Denver clients usually see the hair growing back in about three to four weeks. If you would like dermaplaning to be part of your regular beauty regimen, we recommend coming in every four weeks to maintain the soft, smooth appearance.
Nearly everyone is a good candidate for dermaplaning! Dermaplaning is perfect for our clients who have rosacea or those prone to redness, as it is less stimulating compared to other exfoliation treatments like microdermabrasion. It is however not recommended for patients who have cystic acne or active cold sore outbreaks.
A stand-alone treatment consists of dermaplaning followed by a ten minute hydrating mask this whole process takes 45 minutes. Plan on just an additional 15 minutes if adding it to one of our Yon-ka Style facials.
Some people might experience dryness if they do not appropriately hydrate afterwards.
No, and if you have acne you should not get a dermaplaning treatment.
When your hair grows back it can feel like stubble.
Although uncommon precautions are taken to reduce this chance by using an anti-bacterial crème following dermaplaning.
While one is not necessarily better than the other, both have their benefits. Microdermabrasion can provide a deeper exfoliation than dermaplaning, but does not remove vellus hair. If your main concern is to remove peach fuzz, dermaplaning is the best treatment for you. Your esthetician will be able to recommend which procedure is the best fit for your needs.
Most of our Denver skin care clients leave with a healthy glow to their skin. Some may experience slight redness and irritation but this is temporary and usually subsides in about an hour. As with any exfoliating treatment, good sunscreen habits are a must.
Absolutely. It is super safe. We use a feathered razor that is much safer than a straight edge.
