I have requested a dermaplaning treatment to attempt to improve the condition of my facial skin. The practice of medicine is not an exact science and no guarantees can be or have been made concerning expected results. I understand that several appointments may be necessary to complete the treatment.

Dermaplaning is a form of manual exfoliation similar in theory to microdermabrasion but without the use of suction or abrasive crystals. An aesthetician grade, sterile blade is stroked along the skin at an angle to gently 'shave off' dead skin cells from the epidermis. Dermaplaning also temporarily removes the fine vellus hair of the face, leaving a very smooth surface. Due to contours of the face, certain areas of the face (such as eyelids and nose) are not treatable using this method. 

As your aesthetician, I 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 in between sessions, which may or may not be normal. Always contact me if you have any concerns. More sensitive skin may experience some redness after the first couple of sessions. This normally goes away after 2-3 hours. Dermaplaning may cause minor superficial abrasions which may not appear untill a day of two post 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 work at all times. Tanning beds should never be used.
