dermaplaning FAQ’s

I’m here to help you with professional advice on the most common FAQ's.

Q. I have noticed light fluffy hairs on my face, especially cheeks? How can you help? 

A. This is such a big issue for most women mid life or in peri menopause BUT it is not limited to these years!! Many (what I mean here is most) girls and women have light fluffy vellus hair on their face. It depends on genetics and ethnicity as well as hormones.

Here’s your options:

1. A physical exfoliation and hair removal using a professional dermablade in a professionally taught manner.

2. A physical exfoliation and hair removal using sugar.

Now that you know you know what options you have, read on to learn about them. Click on the link for in depth sugaring info.

Q. Does Dermaplaning or sugaring hurt?

A. Dermaplaning is very relaxing especially followed up with an ESTHEMAX hydrojelly mask. You can get cozy and sink into a moment of relaxation. The mask will leave your face so fresh and glowy.

Sugaring is not relaxing in the same way. You will feel the tug of the hair being pulled from the root. It is tolerable.

Q. what are the contraindications? (people who should not get these services done)

A.

• Accutane is a big one, please book these services 3 months after finishing your accurate treatment.

• Inflamed acne, active cold sores, open wounds, skin cancer, pregnancy, eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, sunburn are contraindications. If you come in with a sunburn, we will NOT be able to perform your service.

• If you are someone who has ever had hives, allergies to make up, or skin sensitivities please come in for a patch test for sugaring. Sometimes our bodies react to facial sugaring with a histamine reaction-like hives. You may even have sugaring on other body parts without issues but the face is different.

  **In the case of hives, feeling hot to touch or raised skin, take a Benadryl as soon as possible.

Q. Will these services make my hair grow back thicker or darker?

A. The vellus hair on the face is a different hair type. Dermaplaning and sugaring will not effect its density or color. I have been sugaring my own face for 10 years with no issues. It will slowly eventually grow back and if you choose to never remove it again will not be any different than it would have been otherwise. We do get accustomed to it gone and see how smooth we look in the rear view mirror, how smooth our make up application is so often times we get annoyed when we see it back. I assure you though it will be the same as it would have been without the removal.
