I have been going to Ana for 5 or 6 years now. I used to see her at another med spa, but when she moved I followed her to The Med Spa to get my facials done. She does Hydrafacials & dermaplaning on me which I absolutely love.”

What is Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is a medspa treatment used to tone, brighten, and clarify skin while removing unwanted facial hairs and peach fuzz. This treatment gently exfoliates to remove the top layers of the skin. This leaves you with smooth, beautiful skin and hairs that grow back finer, lighter, and more sparse.
Benefits of Dermaplaning
Dermaplaning provides many benefits including smoother skin, a more youthful appearance and reduced wrinkles, all without surgery or invasive procedures. It also effectively removes the hairs on your face. In many cases, patients find success using dermaplaning for sunspots.
Dermaplaning is also an excellent exfoliation option for people with sensitive skin. Because the treatment is so gentle, clients with rosacea, allergies, or other skin sensitivities will find this treatment rejuvenating.
How Does Dermaplaning Treatment Work?
Dermaplaning uses a small blade, called a dermatome, to gently remove the top-most layers of skin. The aesthetician carefully moves this tool along the top of your skin to remove dirt, oil, and dead skin cells. This procedure can be used on both small and large areas. Best of all, this treatment only takes about half an hour to complete.
What Should I Know About Post Care?
Post-care for a dermaplaning facial is simple. You should keep your face clean, stay out of the sun, and avoid any rigorous activity for a few days. You should also stop exfoliating your face for 1 week before and after treatment. If you have any concerns about post-care, talk to your aesthetician before treatment.
