What is Dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning is a highly effective exfoliating treatment that gently removes dead skin cells and fine vellus hair (peach fuzz) from the face, resulting in instantly smoother and brighter skin. This procedure not only enhances the appearance of your skin but also improves the effectiveness of your skincare products and makeup application.

Benefits of Dermaplaning

Immediate Results: Achieve smooth, glowing skin right after your session.

Enhanced Product Absorption: With the removal of dead skin cells, your skincare products can penetrate deeper and work more effectively.

Diminished Fine Lines and Acne Scars: Regular treatments can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and scars.

Suitable for Most Skin Types: This non-invasive procedure is safe and beneficial for almost all skin types.

Our Dermaplaning Procedure

During a dermaplaning session at Birkinshaw Aesthetics, a sterile surgical scalpel is used to carefully scrape off the top layer of dead skin cells. The procedure is painless and relaxing, taking about 30 to 45 minutes with no downtime required. This makes it an excellent option for those looking for a quick yet highly effective skin treatment.

Client Testimonials

Highly recommend Tina, she is professional and personable. I've loved all the treatments I've had with her, I wouldn't go anywhere else for my aesthetic treatments or advice.

Claire

I booked in for dermaplaning and microdermabrasion facial. After speaking with Tina, she recommended a peel for my skin alongside the other treatments to help me with my recent breakouts! She has a wealth of knowledge and was super friendly. My skin feels great, smooth, and hydrated!! I’ll be back again!! Thank you.

FAQ

Most frequent questions and answers

Is dermaplaning suitable for all skin types?

Yes, dermaplaning is safe and suitable for most skin types, including those with sensitive skin. However, it is not recommended for individuals with active acne, rosacea, or inflamed skin conditions, as it may exacerbate these issues. Our practitioners will assess your skin during a consultation to ensure dermaplaning is the right treatment for you.

How often should I get dermaplaning treatments?

For optimal results, we recommend getting dermaplaning treatments every 4 to 6 weeks. This interval allows your skin to fully benefit from the exfoliation process while maintaining a smooth, radiant appearance. Regular treatments can also help in reducing the appearance of fine lines and acne scars over time.

What should I expect during a dermaplaning session?

During a dermaplaning session at Birkinshaw Aesthetics, a trained practitioner will use a sterile surgical scalpel to gently scrape off the top layer of dead skin cells and peach fuzz. The procedure is painless and typically takes about 30 to 45 minutes. You may experience slight redness immediately after the treatment, which usually subsides within a few hours.

What aftercare is required following a dermaplaning treatment?

After your dermaplaning treatment, it is essential to keep your skin hydrated and protect it from the sun. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen and a good moisturizer to maintain the benefits of the treatment. Avoid using harsh exfoliants or active ingredients like retinoids for a few days post-treatment to allow your skin to recover fully. Our practitioners will provide detailed aftercare instructions tailored to your skin’s needs.

Can dermaplaning help with acne scars and hyperpigmentation?

Yes, dermaplaning can be effective in reducing the appearance of acne scars and hyperpigmentation. By removing the top layer of dead skin cells, dermaplaning promotes cell turnover and encourages the growth of new, healthy skin cells. This process can help to even out skin tone and texture over time, diminishing the visibility of scars and dark spots. For more significant results, dermaplaning can be combined with other treatments such as chemical peels or microneedling.
