Please avoid any facial waxing for the two weeks leading up to your dermaplaning treatment at Elegance Sculpting. For the five days prior to your treatment, avoid exfoliating the treatment area and excessive sun exposure. If you have an extreme breakout the day of your scheduled dermaplaning treatment, we kindly ask you to reschedule to avoid aggravation and possible infection.

Dermaplaning removes 3 weeks worth of dead skin cells in one treatment. We recommend waiting at least 4 to 6 weeks before scheduling your next treatment.

There are several benefits to adding dermaplaning into your regular skin routine:

• Increases effectiveness and absorption of topical products
• Primes skin for chemical peels and laser treatments
• Remove “peach fuzz”
• Diminishes the appearance of acne scars and fine lines
• Instantly improves skin texture and radiance
• Effortless makeup application

There is no downtimes associated with dermaplaning. However for the first two weeks, we do recommend staying out of direct sunlight or wearing a SPF of 50 factor and strictly washing your face with a gentle cleanser—no exfoliating!

A dermaplaning treatment ranges between $120 and $170 in Parksville, BC.

Dermaplaning involves using a medical-grade scalpel to gently scrape away the epidermis, or top layer of your skin, along with the small hairs commonly known as peach fuzz. This is a completely manual exfoliation treatment and should be performed by a licensed esthetician. Typically, treatments take between 15 and 30 minutes and are often combined with a secondary treatment due to its priming benefits—dermaplaning increases absorption and treatment effectiveness for chemical peels, facials and laser treatments.
