DERMAPLANES
Dermaplaning is a non-invasive skin treatment that may help improve the appearance of your complexion by gently exfoliating the outermost layer of dead skin cells and removing fine vellus hair (peach fuzz). This improves the look of dull skin, can enhance the absorption of skincare products, and provides a smoother makeup application making it a popular choice for those looking to refresh their skin without downtime.

About Dermaplanes
-
Dermaplaning is a cosmetic procedure in which a practitioner uses a sterile surgical blade to gently remove dead skin cells and fine hair from the skin’s surface. This process aims to exfoliate the top layer of the skin, revealing a smoother, softer appearance. It’s suitable for many skin types, especially for those looking to achieve a smoother feel without the use of harsh chemicals or abrasive treatments.
The Deluxe Dermaplane + Red Carpet Facial and the Deluxe Dermaplane + Masque offer the Dermaplane plus some extra pampering.

During a dermaplaning session, your provider uses a sterile, surgical-grade scalpel to gently exfoliate the skin's surface. This process removes the build-up of dead skin cells and fine hair, which can contribute to clogged pores and a dull complexion. By removing this layer, dermaplaning helps to brighten the skin and allow skincare products to penetrate more effectively, enhancing their benefits. It also provides a smoother makeup application.

A Dermaplaning session lasts about 30 to 45 minutes and is performed by a licensed professional in a medspa setting. The procedure begins with cleansing the skin to remove makeup or impurities. The practitioner then glides a sterile scalpel across the skin at a 45-degree angle, gently exfoliating the surface. The treatment is generally painless and is often described as feeling similar to light brushing or scraping on the skin. Some mild redness or sensitivity may occur post-treatment, but these effects are usually temporary. Here at The Vanity Bar, we use an oil or serum during the treatment to give a smoother glide, reducing irritation and minimizing sensitivity.

The results of dermaplaning are typically immediate, with many individuals noticing smoother and brighter skin right after the session. The effects usually last about 3-4 weeks, depending on your skin’s natural cell turnover rate and the rate of your hair regrowth. For sustained results, regular treatments every 4-6 weeks are often recommended, but individual outcomes can vary.

Dermaplaning usually involves no downtime, making it a convenient option for a "lunchtime" treatment. Some individuals may experience slight redness or sensitivity immediately after the procedure, but these effects typically subside within a few hours. You can generally resume normal activities right away, but it's important to follow any specific aftercare instructions provided by your practitioner.
