All About Dermaplaning.
This type of exfoliation triggers cell regeneration, allowing skin care products to penetrate the skin in a more efficient manner. Dermaplaning is used to remove excess facial hair as well. Myth buster: That very fine hair on the face known as “vellus hairs” will not grow back thicker or darker. However, dermaplaning is not recommended for removing very dark, coarse hair from the face.
Dermaplaning is great for people with dry or rough skin textures. Dermaplaning is also great for the treatment of aging, mature skin that tends to develop a buildup of dead skin cells. Cellular turnover also slows down with age. Dermaplaning does what a skin “scrubbing” can’t do. Scrubbing can damage delicate facial skin. Dermaplaning brightens your skin, leaving it smooth and refreshed.
Dermaplaning uses a technique that requires a very delicate touch. Facial skin calls for a skilled hand for successful resurfacing of the skin. When completed, there is no down time. A freshly treated face will “glow” with radiance. You will see and feel dramatic results instantly in the texture and tone of your skin This treatment improves cell turnover, wrinkles, and dark spots. Facial “peach fuzz” will be gone and fine lines will be less noticeable.
What is Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is a physical exfoliation that utilizes a specialized instrument designed to scrape away accumulated dead skin cells and vellous hair. It is a comfortable, relaxing procedure that can be combined with other services to improve their efficacy.
What Results Can I Expect?

Protecting Your Skin: Precautions You Should Take
To ensure the best possible results, it's important to take precautions to protect your skin from the sun after dermaplaning.
Here are some tips to keep in mind:
-
Wear sunscreen: Make sure to apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 before going outside. Reapply every two hours or more frequently if you're sweating or swimming.
-
Stay in the shade: Try to avoid direct sunlight during peak hours (10 a.m. to 4 p.m.) and seek shade under a tree or umbrella when possible.
-
Wear protective clothing: Cover your skin with clothing, such as wearing a wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses to protect your face.
-
Be gentle: Avoid harsh scrubbing and over-exfoliating your skin for at least a week after dermaplaning.
-
WHAT SHOULD I DO UPON ARRIVAL?Please arrive at your appointment with a completely clean eye area. Clean lashes and eye area with a water-based cleanser removing all makeup, eye creams, and moisturizers. Any residue of these products will affect the adhesive bonding from the extension to the natural lash. It is also recommended to avoid caffeine before your lash appointment. Fluttery eyes can cause the eye to open slightly, which can be irritating due to the fumes of the adhesive. Save the coffee for after your lash nap.
-
CAN I USE MAKEUP REMOVER ON MY EYES?WATER-BASED ONLY makeup remover may be used on and around the eye area- we highly recommend Beauty Blooms Lash Foaming Lash Bath. Eye makeup removers are often oil-based. Oil will break down the adhesive used to place and attach lash extensions. If you use an oil cleanser for the rest of your face, avoid getting any on or around your eye area/eyelashes.
-
CAN I USE LASH SERUM WITH EXTENSIONS?Yes, lash serum can still be applied to the lash line while having extensions on. Please wait to use it 24 hours after your appointment.
-
SHOULD I WASH MY LASHES?Keeping your extensions clean is vital in lash upkeep. Properly cleansing your lashes and the eye area will only benefit the longevity of your extensions. Eyelashes are a natural defence shield for your eyes, protecting them from dead skin, dust, pollutants, and other particles. This accumulates on natural lashes and can also occur on your extensions. Properly cleansing your lashes daily will eliminate build-up and prevent the adhesive on lash extensions from breaking down. We highly recommend using Beauty Blooms Foaming Lash Bath.
-
HOW OFTEN SHOULD I GET MY EXTENSIONS FILLED?Eyelash extensions shed with your natural lash cycle. Lash refill services are recommended to be done every 2-3 weeks, depending on the individual, to maintain a full appearance.
-
What is the process of lash extensionsThe lash artist will consult with each new client to better understand the look they would like to achieve. All questions and concerns should be addressed at this time. After the consultation, the client will lie back on a comfortable recliner chair with their eyes closed throughout the entire service. Most find this process very relaxing, similar to a spa-like service.
-
What are eyelash extensions?Eyelash extensions are a way to enhance your lashes to make them longer and thicker. To achieve this single strands of synthetic lashes that replicate a natural lash are individually applied to a single lash one at a time.
-
How long do extensions last, and when should I get refills?About every 2-3 weeks you need a refill to maintain the full look. If not, they can last up to 3 weeks before they naturally fall off. (To be considered a refill, at least 40% of lash extensions must be remaining)
-
What is the difference between classic, hybrid and volume lashes?With a classic set, a single lash is applied to a natural lash, volume lashes are a process of applying multi-dimensional lashes ranging from 2D-10D to a single lash. Hybrid is a combination of these procedures.
-
How should I take care of my new eyelash extensions?For the first 24 hours, do not get your lashes wet or go tanning. When removing makeup using an oil-free remover, do not rub or pick at your lashes when using mascara. Avoid using an eyelash curler, steam, heat, saunas and friction. Brush your lashes daily from top to bottom. We highly recommend Beauty Blooms Foaming Lash Bath to wash the lashes; it's an oil-free cleanser. Rinse with cool water and pat dry with a clean towel. Once extensions are dry, comb with the mascara wand brush.
-
How should I prepare for my eyelash extension appointment?Cleanse your eyes and do not apply any eye makeup. Be prepared to lay down for at least an hour on your back with your eyes closed. If you use contact lenses bring the supplies to store them while we complete the service and you can re-apply them afterwards. Feel free to bring headphones or earbuds to listen to the music of choice or have a nap.
-
Will eyelash extensions ruin my natural lashes or cause them to fall out?The extensions won’t cause your natural lashes to fall out or affect their health in any way. When applying lashes, a stylist will only apply the lash to a natural adult lash. The young (baby) lashes are left so they can fully develop for the next time you get a refill. Your natural lashes have a life cycle of growing and falling out, and when a synthetic lash is attached, it will be much more noticeable. (When lash extensions are removed, your own lashes may seem smaller only because you have become accustomed to the look of the eyelash extensions)
-
What can I do after the appointment?You can swim, shower and exercise as the bonding agent we use are waterproof. We recommend you do not get water on the lashes for at least 24 hours after the service. This will prolong the life of your extensions as it allows the glue to completely dry.
