Dermaplaning will gently exfoliate and eliminate surface layers of dead skin cells and unwanted vellus hair (peachfuzz) and will prime skin for our professional enzyme or acid peel: included, a Professional Enzyme or acid peel (immediately unveils smoother, more vibrant, and younger-looking skin) Formulated with an exclusive blend of clinical-grade enzymes and/or acids. Professional enzymes or acid peels dramatically diminishes the appearance of discoloration, while smoothing texture and renewing the appearance of pores, to restore a brighter, more clarified skin tone. For optimal results, a series of 4-6 treatments every 4 weeks is recommended.

RISKS: All things considered, Dermaplaning is very safe. Of course bleeding is possible, the treatment involves the use of a sharp surgical blade. (and haven’t you ever cut yourself shaving before?). As with your own shaving experiences in the shower, cuts are extremely rare and more annoying than painful. Makeup may be applied after Dermaplaning, in fact you may note that your makeup glides on and sits much better on your face after a session than before.
Skin Facial Bar, LLC will take every precaution to ensure that your skin is well hydrated and calm following each session.
However, you may experience excessive dryness or even some peeling between sessions, which may or may not be normal. Always contact Skin Facial Bar, LLC if you have any concerns. More sensitive skin may experience some redness after the first couple of sessions. This normally goes away after 2 to 3 hours. Dermaplaning may cause minor superficial abrasions which may not appear until a day or two following your treatment. If this should occur, please contact me so that I can do a post-treatment follow up with you.
After your treatment, SPF 30+ MUST be worn at all times.
 

RESULTS: The majority of Skin Facial Bar, LLC clients receive noticeable, satisfactory, above average results with a series of treatments and a commitment to a daily skin care regimen. However, this outcome cannot be guaranteed as maximum results are highly dependent on age, cumulative sun exposure, health, lifestyle, genetic traits, general skin condition, and willingness to follow recommended protocols. Be aware that many changes may occur deeper within the skin over time. To continue the maintenance of your skin after you complete your treatment(s), Skin Facial Bar, LLC may inform you of other preventive treatments they may benefit your skin help with management of your skin.

Possible side effects of the treatment area can include mild redness of the skin, irritation and dryness. Additionally, nicks to the skin can occur due to the sharp surgical blade. Clients will be notified and the area will be treated if necessary. The hair is expected to grow back blunt-ended. New hair will not appear darker or denser, however I do understand that any hormonal imbalance that may be present within my anatomical system can alter my normal hair growth pattern.
