Meet our *Favorite* Facial Add-On: Dermablading!

Let's talk about dermablading (also called dermaplaning), one of my absolute favorite add-ons to any facial.

So what is dermablading?

It's using a surgical blade to gently remove vellus hair (that's the peach fuzz we all have) and dead skin from your face. I know "surgical blade" might sound intense, but I promise it's such a relaxing, satisfying treatment!

Dermablading can be done "wet or dry" - dry means we're working on clean skin with no product, while wet uses an oil as a "slip" to glide the blade smoothly across your skin.

Why do I love it so much?

Here's what happens when we remove that layer of dead skin and peach fuzz:

• Your products penetrate SO much better. Those active ingredients we all love? They go deeper into your skin where they can actually work their magic

• Your makeup goes on like a dream (no hair for it to catch on!). Seriously, this is one of the most satisfying parts

• Fine lines look softer thanks to the exfoliation

• Your skin looks smooth and glowy. You want "glass skin"? This is where we start.
  

The results typically last a few weeks before your vellus hair grows back and your skin naturally sheds more dead skin cells (because that's just what skin does!).

Wait - does the hair grow back thicker or darker?

Nope! This is a total myth. Your vellus hair grows back exactly the same texture and color it was before. Promise!

What does it actually feel like?

It's a gentle scraping sensation - totally painless and actually pretty relaxing! Most people find it really satisfying.

How often should you get it done?

I typically recommend every 4-ish weeks. This gives your skin time to go through its natural cell turnover cycle and for that peach fuzz to grow back.

Can I just do this at home?

Here's my professional take. No, not really. What you're doing at home with those little razors is more like shaving - it removes the fuzz but not the dead skin cells. True professional dermablading is removing that top layer of dead skin cells along with the hair. It's a treatment, not just a quick fix to remove hair. There's a technique to it that takes training to do safely and effectively.

Who shouldn't get dermablading?

If you have severe active breakouts, extremely sensitive skin, or very thin skin, this treatment isn't for you. But other than those contraindications, pretty much anyone can and should try it!
