Dermaplaning

Experience the rejuvenating effects of Dermaplaning at Contour Laser Medi Spa. Our expert aestheticians use a special scalpel to gently scrape off the top layer of dulling dead skin cells, revealing a smoother and brighter complexion. This non-invasive procedure not only helps to provide an even skin tone, but it also allows for greater penetration of skincare products, enhancing their efficacy.

What is Dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning is a skin treatment that uses an exfoliating blade to skim dead skin cells and hair from your face. It's also called microplaning or blading. The aim is to make your skin's surface smooth, youthful, and radiant. This treatment claims to remove deep scarring from acne and uneven pockmarks on your skin. It's also used to remove “peach fuzz,” the short, soft hairs on your face.

Dermaplaning can be used for any skin type and anyone with acne scars, dull skin, dry skin, sun-damaged skin or fine wrinkles. This procedure doesn't require any downtime for recovery, which makes it extremely convenient. The results can last up to three weeks. However, since your skin is always growing, you'll need to schedule appointments every few weeks to maintain your look

Benefits of dermaplaning

Enhanced Skin Appearance

Dermaplaning removes dead skin cells and peach fuzz, leaving your skin smoother and more radiant. 

Improved Skincare Efficacy

By exfoliating the skin's surface, dermaplaning allows for better absorption of skincare products, making them more effective.

No Downtime

This non-invasive procedure requires no recovery time, enabling you to immediately return to your daily activities after treatment.

The treatment process

The Dermaplaning process at Contour Laser Medi Spa begins with a thorough cleansing of your skin. Our skilled aesthetician then gently glides a sterile surgical scalpel across the surface of your skin, removing the top layer of dead skin cells and vellus hair (peach fuzz). This is done in precise, feathering strokes to ensure a smooth, even result.

The whole procedure typically takes around 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the area being treated. There is no discomfort during the treatment, and no downtime is required afterwards. You can immediately continue with your day, with noticeably improved skin texture and tone.

Pre and Post Care Instructions

Before your Dermaplaning appointment at Contour Laser Medi Spa, it's important to ensure your skin is clean and free from makeup. Avoid sun exposure, tanning treatments, and any form of exfoliation for at least three days prior to your treatment. If you have an active breakout or any open skin lesions, we recommend rescheduling your appointment to avoid any discomfort or complications.

After your Dermaplaning treatment, your skin may appear slightly pink and feel a little like mild sunburn. We recommend applying a gentle moisturizer and a broad-spectrum sunblock of at least SPF 30. Avoid direct sunlight, strenuous exercise, saunas, and other heat sources for at least 24 hours after your treatment. Your skin will be particularly sensitive during this time, so treat it with care to enjoy the full benefits of your Dermaplaning treatment.
