For many of us, summer is a time of sun, sand, and salt. Unfortunately, all of that summer fun can take a toll on your skin, so as the summer season draws to an end, now is the perfect time to think about ways to rejuvenate your skin this fall. 

One procedure to consider is dermaplaning at Vita Nova. As an added bonus, we love pairing our dermaplaning service with a chemical peel for enhanced results!

What is Dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning is an exfoliating procedure in which we use a special razor called a dermatome to remove the top layer of skin. 

A single session can leave your face looking brighter and feeling smoother by unveiling a new, undamaged layer of skin. 

The procedure takes less time than your lunch hour and typically requires little to no downtime for healing, so you can get on with your day.

It is a simple, safe, and effective treatment for a variety of skin issues and concerns.

Benefits of Dermaplaning

As the top layer of skin is removed, minor imperfections such as acne scarring, fine lines and wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation can become less prevalent. Dermaplaning can also remove unwanted facial hair between sessions.

Dermaplaning may help your skin appear younger and more vibrant and has been successfully used to treat a variety of skin conditions, including:

• Acne scarring
• Fine lines and wrinkles
• “Peach fuzz” (soft, fine facial hair)
• Sun damage
• Dull, dry skin
• Actinic keratosis (scaly, red patches that can lead to skin cancer)

How Can a Chemical Peel Enhance Results?

Chemical peels are a great addition to your dermaplaning service. Once the layer of deaddull skin and facial hair is removed, the chemical solution can easily penetrate a fresh layer of skin, improving overall results.

Combining these two services creates a new, glowing surface for the skin. As a result, your skin will look brighter, absorb your skincare products more easily and evenly, and minimize skin imperfections. 

Dermaplaning and chemical peels can work together to bring back your skin’s natural, healthy glow!

Is Dermaplaning Right for Me?

Dermaplaning is a minimally invasive way to rejuvenate your skin and lessen the effects of damage caused by the environment and acne. 

In addition, the procedure can help treat and correct these imperfections without surgery or more invasive procedures. 

The estheticians at Vita Nova are happy to discuss your skin rejuvenation needs and can you help you decide if dermaplaning is the right treatment for you.

The procedure at Vita Nova typically lasts approximately 60 minutes, and you can resume your regular activity immediately after the procedure. 

You may experience minor redness, but it typically subsides within a few hours. Results can last for three to four weeks.
