Don't let dull and dry skin stop you from being you! Book with Piper at Black Star Beauty and experience glow!
Dermaplaning is a method of exfoliation that consists of using a 10 gauge scalpel to gently scrape off the top layer of dull, dead skin cells in order to reveal a smoother, brighter complexion. Dermaplaning is recommended for all skin types except those with acneic skin. If you have deep cystic acne, wait until breakouts are clear before trying this treatment and feel free to book with Piper for a chemical peel and skin consult to help fight your breakout faster. This is a great treatment if you are pregnant or nursing and want gentle exfoliation.
Why it's special: Dermaplaning removes all the dead skin cells and also the facial hair, leaving the surface very smooth. Dermaplaning also allows for greater penetration of skincare products and creates a flawless canvas for makeup to glide on smoothly. We often use dermaplaning to help prepare skin for more intrusive procedures such as laser treatments and chemical peels.
Dermaplaning is a painless procedure and can be compared to the sensation of shaving your legs, but in this case, it's on your face. First, the aesthetician will cleanse and thoroughly dry your skin.
Next, she'll pull an area of your skin taut with one hand, and hold a sterile 10 gauge blade at a 45 degree angle in the other hand and use short, swift strokes to scrape off dead skin cells and peach fuzz.
There are no side effects and zero downtime. After the treatment, your skin will be highly sensitive to sun exposure and may already look very pink, so be sure to wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher to reduce the risk of hyperpigmentation.
Most women in North America and in other countries use cover-up, foundation, or some other cosmetic product in order to help them achieve an even skin tone, cover blotches, and hide other imperfections. Even if a woman has extremely nice skin, she still may choose to use some of these makeup products in order to have skin that looks its best. Unfortunately, not everyone feels happy with the way their skin looks even after makeup has been applied. They may have invested in expensive makeup, but the way it looks on their skin does not look great. If you are tired of not having nice skin, even with makeup on, dermaplaning can help. When exfoliation is used to get rid of the top layers of skin, your body naturally starts producing healthy substances that make your skin look and feel better. More collagen is going to be produced. This is one of the basic building blocks of having healthy skin. You are going to have more blood flow to your top layers of skin, which will help create new skin cells more quickly. Since the peach fuzz on your face is going to be removed, you are going to notice that your skin looks a whole lot better when makeup is applied. It is not going to get caked around the areas where peach fuzz exists. Instead, it is going to be applied in a very smooth and easy way. Having regular dermaplaning sessions scheduled at Black Star Beauty is going to help to improve the wide variety of skin conditions that you are experiencing.
