dermaplaning

The dermaplaning facial is a non-invasive skin resurfacing treatment that is gaining popularity among individuals looking for a quick yet effective solution to achieve a smooth, radiant complexion. At Naomi Waite Aesthetics, we offer dermaplaning facial to both men and women who want to rejuvenate their skin and enhance their natural beauty.

During the treatment, one of our experienced therapists will use a specialized surgical-grade scalpel to gently and safely exfoliate the top layer of dead skin cells and vellus hair, also known as peach fuzz. This process not only removes unwanted hair but also stimulates skin cell regeneration and promotes collagen production. The result is a brighter, smoother, and more youthful-looking complexion.

Dermaplaning is a suitable treatment for all skin types, including sensitive skin. It is also a great alternative to harsh chemical peels or microdermabrasion, as it does not require any harsh chemicals or abrasive crystals, and it is relatively painless.

Our dermaplaning facial treatment typically takes between 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the size of the treatment area. After the treatment, clients may experience some mild redness, which should subside within a few hours. Results can be seen immediately, and clients can resume their regular skincare routine right after the treatment.

Dermaplaning is an excellent option for those looking to enhance their skin’s texture, minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and achieve a smoother, glowing complexion. Book an appointment with us today at Naomi Waite Aesthetics and let us help you reveal your best skin yet.
