Thinking of having a chemical Peel?
Your face will look amazing after a chemical peel, but it will look even better when you add on a dermaplaning treatment. When these two treatments are combined your face will feel rejuvenated, refreshed and feel softer than ever. They compliment each other to be even more successful than they already are. Here are the ins and outs of both treatments, what to expect and what results you are likely to achieve.
Why Should You Add Dermaplaning To Your Skincare Routine. What is Dermaplaning?Dermaplaning can be a stand alone treatment, but is a perfect addition to a chemical peel. It can be done on most skin types, this can be assessed in your skin consultultion and any adaptions needed for your skin type.
This is an exfoliating treatment that is performed with a surgical steel dermaplaning blade. As it is glided over the skin up to 3 weeks of dead skin cell are removed as well as peach fuzz. This improves the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and skin texture. This treatment can last for up to 4-6 weeks, regrowth doesn't come back worse than before. Vellus hair, (peach fuzz), will always remain as vellus hair. There is no down time after this treatment, but you may notice some redness to the skin. This will be gone within 24hrs, as with most treatments we recommend to avoid the sun a few days before treatment and after treatment. Dermaplaning is a painless and quick treatment that eliminates peach fuzz and dead skin cells, and prepares the skin for other treatments such as chemical peels.
What is a Chemical Peel?A chemical peel helps to remove the surface layer of the skin resulting in a brighter more youthful looking skin. This treatment is based on your skin's sensitivity and what if any preparation has been done prior to a peel. Most skin types are suitable to peel without any prep beforehand. We use a combination of Lactic acid and Vitamin A peels, during our skin consultaion we will advise as to what would be the best for you.
Peels help with pre-mature aging, lines and wrinkles, enlarged pores, skin texture, sun damage, scarring, acne. When used in a course of treatment these can help with the increase in collagen and elastin production that helps with lines and wrinkles and lifting and tightening. Treatments can be done every 4-6 weeks.
Aftere a dermaplaning and peel treatment your skin is sure to look brighter and feel smoother. Both of these treatments as successful seperatley but combined are even better. Dermaplaning before a chemical peel allows the peel to penetrate the skin deeper and more evenly resulting in an even brighter glow.
