Have you been scrolling social media, looking for treatments or new skincare products, hoping to find something that improves your skin? Then there are chances that you would have come across this magical term called ‘‘dermaplaning.’’

Now imagine you are planning on taking a vacation or have a party to attend, and you want your skin to glow and your face to give that  ‘’no makeup makeup look’’ vibes. If you think that you're asking too much, then we’d say no. Why? Because a dermaplaning session can give you exactly what you want. Too good to be true?

Dermaplaning is a professional exfoliation treatment that uses a sterile surgical blade to gently remove dead skin cells and fine facial hair, also known as "peach fuzz." By clearing away this surface layer, dermaplaning reveals a fresher, more vibrant layer of skin, giving you a noticeably brighter complexion. At Vurve Aesthetics, we perform this treatment with precision and care, ensuring that each session leaves your skin feeling rejuvenated and exceptionally smooth.

Now that you know what dermaplaning means, the next question would be why it is done, does it have any benefits, and whether or not it's a treatment you should try. Read further, to get answers to all your questions.

How Does Dermaplaning at Vurve Aesthetics Work?

Dermaplaning is a simple, effective, and painless way to remove facial hair and exfoliate the skin. 

Here’s how it works,

The procedure is simple, the first step in dermaplaning is cleansing your skin. If you’re wearing makeup then we might go for double cleansing. The cleansing process ensures that all your makeup, oil, and dirt are removed from the skin. 

After cleansing, your skin will be examined. We will then use an oil such as argan or jojoba oil all over the face to allow the blade to glide smoothly. A sterile scalpel will be used to gently glide along your skin at a 45-degree angle to remove the facial hair and dead skin cells.

After the treatment, a warm towel will be placed on your face to remove any excess hair. Then, we end the treatment by applying a serum for hydration, followed by a moisturizer and a sunscreen.

The Benefits of Dermaplaning at Vurve Aesthetics

Dermaplaning has several benefits which is why it is a favorite among celebrities and supermodels. Some of these benefits include:

• It is non-invasive and safe

Dermaplaning is a non-invasive beauty procedure which makes it completely safe. It won’t cause any pain or discomfort. Also, this treatment doesn’t involve the use of any harsh chemicals. 

• Smoother skin in an instant

This treatment promises instant results. Just after the first session, you will notice that your skin has become smoother and brighter. 

• No more peach fuzz

The facial hair can store a lot of dirt which with time can trigger acne. With dermaplaning you can now say goodbye to those fine facial hair. 

• Instant removal of dead skin cells

If you feel like you have dull skin despite using the best products, the reason could be dead skin cells. In dermaplaning, these dead skin cells are removed by exfoliation, which gives you youthful-looking skin. 

• Better absorption of products

There is no point in using expensive skincare products if they aren’t absorbed by the skin properly. But, dermaplaning solves this issue too. Since the process involves removing the buildup of dead skin cells, dirt, oil, and facial hair, your skin can now absorb and get the maximum benefits from your serums, oils, and moisturizers.

• A smooth canvas for makeup

We all love flawless-looking makeup, right? Well, a dermaplaning session can help you achieve that look. Dermaplaning helps in getting rid of clumps of dead skin cells or fibres that would come between your fresh skin and makeup. Hence, when you apply makeup, it will absorb well, and go on smoothly. 

Is Dermaplaning Right for You?

Dermaplaning is suitable for most skin types, especially those looking for a gentle yet effective exfoliation method. If you’re dealing with dullness, or uneven texture, or want a smoother makeup application, dermaplaning might be perfect for you. However, if you have active acne or certain skin conditions, a consultation with our experts can help determine the best treatment options

Duration of the Process and Results

A dermaplaning session may take around 30 minutes to an hour depending on how much area is covered during the session. 

Soon after the dermaplaning session, you will notice that your skin has become bright, glowing, and radiant. Since the treatment has removed all the facial hair and dead skin cells, your skin will be smooth with an even skin tone, giving you a youthful glow. 

Do’s and Don’ts Post-treatment 

Now that you know about all the great benefits that come with dermaplaning, there are a few dos and don’ts to keep in mind after getting the treatment.

The Do’s:

⇨ After the treatment, follow a simple skincare routine at least for two weeks. Use products that will hydrate, moisturize, and nourish your skin. 
 
⇨ Use a hydrating toner or serum or even a facial oil daily to hydrate and nourish your skin. Always use an SPF according to your skin type before stepping out. 

⇨ Don’t forget to drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated.

The Don'ts:

⇨ Dermaplaning is an exfoliating skin treatment, hence you should avoid using any other exfoliants such as facial scrubs, deep exfoliating peels, abrasive cleansers, washcloths, or even any other treatment such as microdermabrasion facial.

⇨ Avoid using skincare products with acids such as retinol, and glycolic acid. Using these ingredients can lead to redness, dryness, and irritation.

⇨ Avoid using hot water for showers or to cleanse your face. You should also avoid vigorous exercises, direct sun exposure, steam rooms, and saunas for at least two weeks after the treatment.

Or maybe you're just curious about the latest trend that's making waves in the skincare world?

If yes, Carbon Laser facials is just what you need. It's the beauty boost you've been waiting for, that can transform your skin from good to glowing! With celebs being its fans, this treatment has become a favorite for those seeking a fast, effective way to revitalize their skin. It's no wonder this trend is gaining momentum; when top stars are flaunting flawless skin, you know there's something special about it.

But what exactly is a carbon laser facial? How does it work? Let's explore everything you need to know about this popular treatment.

What’s a Carbon Laser Facial?

A carbon laser facial is a non-invasive skincare treatment that uses a combination of carbon-based lotion and laser technology to cleanse, exfoliate, and rejuvenate the skin. It's also known as a Carbon peel or Hollywood peel, due to its popularity amongst celebrities.
 

Here’s how it works,

It’s a two-step procedure. It all starts with a layer of liquid carbon applied to your face, allowing it to dry. This carbon lotion acts like a magnet, absorbing oil, dirt, and dead skin cells from your pores. 

Next, we’ll pass a laser across the surface of your skin to target the carbon. This laser light attracts the carbon particles, and causes a mini explosion! Don’t be shocked! Your skin will not burst! These are very tiny explosions just enough to blast away the carbon and all the dirt that it has collected. This action provides a deep exfoliation effect, unclogging pores and removing dead skin cells. 

The heat from the laser also stimulates collagen and boosts new cell production. The best part? Your skin looks smoother, your pores are smaller, and your face is brighter—giving it a complete reset!

Who is it suitable for?

Laser Carbon Facials can treat:

• Acne
• Pigmentation/ Dark Spots
• Signs of premature aging
• Dull complexion, tone, and texture
• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Blackheads and whiteheads
• Enlarged and clogged pores

Is Carbon Peel more beneficial than the Chemical Peel?

Although chemical peels can treat the above-mentioned skin conditions, laser carbon facials are beneficial for the reasons below,

• Laser Carbon Peels, use only heat in the procedure
• Chemical peels require downtime for the skin to recover from swelling and redness while laser carbon peels don’t require any downtime
• Carbon peels are kinder to people with sensitive skin causing mild redness that goes away within a few hours after the treatment, than chemical peels.

What are the benefits of Laser Carbon Facials?

• Reduces fine lines and wrinkles

If your skin has all those fine lines and wrinkles, carbon laser facials can smooth things out like an eraser for those little creases that pop up over time. The laser's energy helps to stimulate the deeper layers of your skin, helps to break down old skin cells, and promotes regeneration thus reducing the appearance of wrinkles

• Treats Pigmentation and gives an even tone

This deep cleansing process helps reduce dark spots and hyperpigmentation, promoting an even skin tone. Additionally, carbon facials can minimize pores and control oil production, resulting in a smoother, more balanced appearance. Regular sessions can lead to smoother, healthier-looking skin with a balanced tone.

• Collagen Booster

Collagen is like the scaffolding of your skin. It keeps everything tight, firm, and bouncy. But as you age, the scaffolding can get a bit wobbly. The laser stimulates collagen production, reinforcing your skin’s structure. Your skin becomes firmer, more resilient, and less prone to sagging.

• Instantly Visible Results

After the first session itself, you can experience visible results - your skin will look brighter and radiant. The carbon cream and laser combo work to remove all that gunk and dead skin cells, revealing the radiant skin underneath. Your skin gets a fresh new start. 

• No Downtime

One of the best things about carbon laser facials is that they're quick and relatively painless. You don't have to block out your entire day or prepare for major downtime. You’ll be in and out fast with your skin that feels refreshed and rejuvenated. Now that's what we call efficient pampering!

• Safe on all Skin Types

These facials play nice to everyone. No matter your skin type or tone, this treatment is generally safe and effective. If you’ve got sensitive skin, you can still get carbon laser treatment without stressing about side effects.

• Bye Bye Dull Skin

Dull skin? Not after this treatment. When the laser hits the carbon, it explodes in tiny blasts that remove the dead skin cells with it, promoting radiant skin. Also, the laser zaps away the bacteria causing breakouts and reduces the appearance of acne scars.

How To Look After The Skin Post-Treatment?

Post the procedure, here are some do’s and don’ts to consider.

What to do?

• Moisturize. Keep your skin hydrated by using a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer. This helps to soothe the skin and maintain its elasticity.
• Big yes to Sunscreen. Apply sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30. Protecting your skin after laser treatments is necessary to prevent hyperpigmentation and other damage.
• Stay Hydrated. Drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated from the inside out.
• Stay Cool. Avoid hot showers, hot tubs, and hot saunas, as they may irritate your skin after the treatment.

What not to do?

• No Sunbathing. Minimize sun exposure for at least a week after treatment.
• No Exfoliation. Refrain from using abrasive scrubs, exfoliants, or any other invasive skin treatments for at least a week. The skin might be sensitive, and scrubbing can irritate.
• Avoid Heavy Makeup. Allow your skin to breathe, so avoid makeup for at least a day or two.
• Hands Off. It’s tempting, but still, don’t touch your face excessively as it may create irritation and a risk of infection.

Addressing Common Concerns

1. How long does the treatment take?
You can easily fix an appointment even after your workday! That’s because the entire treatment, including the consultation, application, and procedure takes only a maximum of 45 minutes! 

2. Is it painful?
No! It is a gentle, painless, and non-invasive treatment, with no painful side effects. Some people might slightly feel a mild stinging sensation or slight redness during the treatment, which immediately settles down post-treatment. 

3. How long do the results last?
You can see your skin glowing, radiant, and reduced acne and pore size, just after the first session. You can also experience a more smoother and softer skin than before the treatment. A course of 4 to 5 sessions, spaced 1 to 4 weeks apart can give you progressive long-term results.

4. Can it be combined with other skin treatments?
Yes. Carbon Laser treatments can be combined with microdermabrasion, LED light therapy, hydrating masks, and active ingredient ampules.
