Before any treatment at Dermacore, a free client consultation takes place. During this consultation, client requirements and client suitability (based on medical history and lifestyle) for treatment are assessed. Based on these findings, a personalised treatment plan is created to help deliver the results as per client expectations.

Clients see a visible improvement immediately after the first treatment with skin looking radiant, smooth and softer.  Some redness may appear on the surface of the skin as standard, this will disappear within 24 hours.

This procedure removes at least 21 days of dulling dead skin cells and Vellus hair.  Clients can expect results to last approx. 4 weeks

It is important to keep skin healthy, we recommend this treatment monthly.

Dermaplaning is a painless, safe, easy and non-invasive treatment.

There is no recovery time.  However, the skin will be extremely sensitive.  A high sun factor is required for a minimum of 24hours to reduce the risks of hyper pigmentation.

Dermaplaning is a low-risk procedure. In rare cases some clients may develop whiteheads, infections or scarring.

-The Skin may be sensitive For some time

Dermaplaning involves the removal of the outer most layer of the dead facial skin. Therefore, the skin gets slightly sensitive since the process exposes the inner layer.  It is required to use a high sun factor for atleast 24 hours to protect the skin.  At the same time, it is advisable to clean your face with your hands only for about two days. This gives time for the sensitivity to fade away. Again, using face towels after the procedure may cause abrasion. Again, you may realise that your skin gets more reactive to some skincare products such as retinol. You need to avoid such products for a day or two.

-Redness may appear on the face

Depending on the sensitivity of your skin, redness may appear immediately after the process. As the Dermaplaning tool scrapes of the dead cells, the blood vessels get a bit irritated.  Again, aggressive scraping would cause mild flaking of the skin for about two days to one week. These are minor Dermaplaning side effects.Therefore, depending on how your skin reacts, you may experience some redness. However, this effects fades within minutes – 24 hours. It is compulsory to brief the practitioner of any history of unpleasant skin reactions at the consultation stage. This will allow a professional aesthetician to decide if Dermaplaning is suitable.

-Dermaplaning Effects on Acne, Cold sores, Eczema and Psoriasis

Although Dermaplaning has no significant risks, there is a limitation. If you have skin conditions such as active acne, cold sores, eczema and psoriasis; seek treatment for the illness first.  This is because these skin conditions are a result of infections, Dermaplaning on broken or inflamed skin would spread bacteria from one place to another and lead to a negative side effect.

However, if you have struggled with acne breakouts before, Dermaplaning could help you prevent a recurrence. Scraping off the dead skin and peach fuzz unclogs the pore. In return, Dermaplaning eliminates causes for potential future outbreaks.
