What is Dermaplaning and why should I have it?
Dermaplaning has been around for a while now so if you are reading this, you probably already know a little bit about it or you have heard us raving about it in the salon and want to find out more! At TBR we pride ourselves on honesty and being transparent when it comes to what treatments we really believe in, so trust us when we say that Dermaplaning really does work and definitely lives up the hype. The treatment is carried out using a fine scalpel blade, which gently glides over the top layer of the skin using light feathering strokes.
Part of our skins natural process is to shed dead, dull skin cells. This is called cell turnover where new skin cells are produced keeping our skin looking fresh and healthy. However, this happens quicker when we are younger but slows down as we get older, so over time, those dead skin cells can build up causing your skin to not only look dull but causing many other complaints we all battle with such as breakouts and fine lines which is why exfoliation is a vital part of everyone’s skincare routine.
However, Dermaplaning does more than just exfoliate!
Have you ever heard people use the term ‘peach fuzz’ (technical term vellus hair)? Its the tiny, fluffy hair that covers our whole face and everyone has it. Some peoples will look more prominent depending on how dark their natural hair colour is or due to hormones and it can make some of us feel quite self conscious. It can also make getting a smooth make-up application difficult.
This is where Dermaplaning really comes into its own! It removes that pesky vellus hair along with those top layers of dead, dull skin cells, leaving the skin flawlessly smooth and glowing. If that wasn’t already incentive enough to book your dermaplaning appointment, how would you feel knowing that the results are instant, its completely pain free and there is no down-time!? Run, dont walk!
Just look at the glowing results after a Dermaplaning Facial
After a Dermaplaning Facial, you’ll find that not only is your skin glowing and your make up will go on so much more smoothly, your skincare products will absorb better into the skin, which will increase the effectiveness of their ingredients as they penetrate deeper into the epidermis.
Dermaplaning is also completely safe during pregnancy.
And the most commonly asked question regarding this treatment – Will my hair grow back thicker? Please don’t worry about this, it is a myth! This common misconception may stem from the fact that the newly grown hair may initially feel coarser because the hair has been shaved and the blunt ends are growing through, but this is a temporary effect and not a change in the hairs natural colour or texture.
