DERMAPLANING

LETS GET RID OF THAT FUZZ. . .

Dermaplaning is a safe and simple facial treatment that helps in exfoliating the epidermis layer of this skin and ridding the skin of fine vellus hair (peach fuzz). Vellus hair's are the very fine hairs we have all over our bodies. This hair can often cause a buildup of dirt and oils within the hair follicles giving a dull, unhealthy appearance to the skin.

The procedure involves the use of a small sterile scalpel. The scalpel is used on clean, dry skin, on the forehead, cheeks, chin, nose and neck. Using the scalpel your practitioner will delicately skim the surface of the skin using light feathering strokes. After the treatment you are physically able to see all the debris removed from the skin.

You can expect to see an instant improvement in skin texture and tone, while the long-term effects are increased cell turnover, fewer dark spots, reduction of acne scarring, and the removal of fine facial hairs. Having this treatment also allows the application of makeup on the skin look and feel a lot smoother and products used with this treatment will penetrate the skin alot more effectively. .

Here at Kerry-Ann Aesthetics we offer an express Dermaplaning facial with the option of tailoring your own facial and choosing from our list of facial Add On's at an additional cost. These include a variety of Face Masks, LED Light therapy or the option of adding microneedling to your facial. Take a look on our book online page to view more of our facial Add On's.

What if i dont like my eyebrows?

As with all cosmetic procedures, individuals should not make their choices lightly. We always recommend clients do their research, understand the procedure and compare different artists' work and portfolios when making their decisions. Kerry-Ann will do her utmost to shape and style the eyebrows to the clients satisfaction prior to the procedure. Every effort will be made to achieve an even appearance, but please realize our faces are never perfectly symmetrical. Uneven appearance can be fixed during the touch up session. Pigment discoloration and color correction can also be fixed during the the touch up session. Microbladed brows will eventually fade away if no additional touch ups are done.
Are there any risks with microblading?

We take all proper precautions for a safe session by using sterilized equipment, new needles and in a sanitized environment. Should clients follow our pre and post care instructions, there should be minimal risks or complications . Although allergic reactions to the pigments are rare, it could be possible for certain individuals. We suggest a pigment patch test for individuals who have high skin sensitivities or are sensitive to: - Topical makeup products - Gold, silver and nickel - Hair dyes
Do i require a patch test?

We require all our clients to have done a patch test 48 hour prior to your appointment. For clients who are not local your patch test and instructions will be sent out to you in the post. This involves superficially scratching the skin behind your ear with a small lancet needle and then applying the pigment over the open area.
