What results can I expect from Dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning is three times as effective as microdermabrasion alone and creates the perfect base for makeup application.
How does Dermaplaning work?
Dermaplaning uses a surgical blade to perform a deep exfoliation. The edge of the scalpel is used at a 45-degree angle to scrape the build-up of dirt and oils in and around the skin and vellus hair.
The vellus hair is completely removed during the process leaving skin ultra-smooth and creating the perfect base for make-up application.
Are there any side effects from Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is a very safe procedure. Skin is stretched during the procedure and the blade is always held at a 45-degree angle to reduce the risk of nicking the skin with the blade. If you have dry patches of skin, a small amount of serum is applied to enable to the blade to glide across the skin smoothly.
Skin may be a little pink immediately after treatment due to being stretched but this normally subsides within an hour or so.
