Experience Smooth, Radiant Skin with Dermaplaning in Vancouver

Dermaplaning Vancouver offers a unique and safe method to exfoliate your skin, removing unwanted "peach fuzz" and dead skin cells. Unlike dermabrasion, dermaplaning uses a specialized dermatome tool that gently scrapes off the top layer of your skin, revealing a brighter and more youthful complexion.

This treatment, which typically lasts between 20 to 30 minutes, is followed by a soothing aloe application and protective sunscreen to ensure your skin remains hydrated and shielded from the sun.

Before you have a dermaplaning treatment, we will go over your medical history, skin type, and any possible precautions to give you the results you want. Book your free consultation today or purchase your dermaplaning procedure in our Online Shop.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What to expect and how to prepare?

You don’t need to plan any specific downtime after your dermaplaning treatment. Some people might notice slight redness or feel like their skin was scraped for 2-3 days after the procedure, but this will subside.

Your skin will look brighter immediately after dermaplaning, but it often takes a few days to see the final results. Dermaplaning provides great results but they are not permanent (they last for a up to 3-4 weeks). As any redness subsides, you’ll see the results more clearly in the days after the treatment.

After dermaplaning, you will need to protect your skin against sun exposure. In the weeks after a dermaplaning treatment, don’t leave the house without wearing sunscreen on your face.

 

Who Should Consider Getting Dermaplaning Done? 

Dermaplaning in Vancouver is a non-invasive procedure that is safe and effective for all skin types and colors. It is an excellent alternative to chemical peels and microdermabrasion. Fine facial hair, acne scars, fine wrinkles, excessively sensitive or dry skin, redness or rosacea, or prominent facial veins are all strong reasons to consider this product for your skin type. Acne patients should not have their skin shaved because of the risk of infection. 

How Many Treatments Will I Be Required To Undergo? 

According to the condition being treated, the number of treatments required will vary. Due to the fact that dermaplaning is the most severe kind of exfoliation, patients will see instant improvements such as glowing, brighter skin, decrease in dark spots, and the absence of peach fuzz after only one treatment. It is advised that you have 3-6 treatments every 4-6 weeks to address more permanent issues like sun damage, fine lines, and pore size. 

 

After that, you should have monthly maintenance treatments to maintain your skin in good condition.

 

Is It Possible To Combine Dermaplaning With Other Treatments? 

Yes, and in fact, it is highly encouraged. When used in conjunction with other treatments such as Microneedling, Laser Genesis, and Chemical Peels, dermaplaning increases the effectiveness of the products and treatments by eliminating the top layer of dead skin which prevents penetration of the products and treatments. 

 

Combination exfoliation treatments help to promote healthy skin cell turnover, prevent acne, decrease dark spots and blemishes, and increase collagen formation for plumper, more youthful-looking skin. 

How Does A Dermaplaning Treatment Feel? Can I Expect Discomfort?

In no way, shape, or form! In fact, it is a very soft and relaxing procedure that is absolutely painless and non-invasive. The blade just scrapes at the top layer of skin, never cutting you or your skin.

 

Whenever you come in for your dermaplaning treatment, we'll begin by doing a very soothing facial wash to rid your skin of any debris and to relax you before starting the service. 

 

After that, we'll begin the process of drawing your skin taut and gently shaving your face with the scalpel to remove the peach fuzz and any sun damage that has developed on your face. Depending on the particular demands of the skin, it may be required to make many passes but should still be a relatively quick treatment.  

Is There Any Downtime After Having Dermaplaning Done On Your Skin? 

There is no downtime required for this "lunch hour" treatment, and most patients are able to return to their usual activities soon thereafter. 

 

Dermaplaning is a non-invasive skin rejuvenation therapy that is among the safest currently available. Following a treatment, some individuals may have redness or a dry sensation in their skin, although this is very transitory. Following your treatment, you should continue to utilize ZO Skin Health products and sunscreens, as well as avoid direct sunlight for a few days following your procedure.

 

If you have any questions or concerns about your treatment, please feel free to ask them to your aesthetician during your complimentary consultation!
