Dermaplaning 

Dermaplaning smooths the skin, removes impurities, improves skin texture, evens pigmentation, removes fine facial hair, and leaves the skin with a refreshed glow. This procedure is performed by gently moving a scalpel over surface layers of the face for maximum exfoliation. It's a non-invasive treatment, and can be performed on its own, or prior to other skin care treatments in order to enhance their effectiveness. The procedure is also a great treatment for the reduction of acne scarring and small lines. By skimming off 'peach fuzz' and with the extra exfoliation it provides, dermaplaning enhances the effectiveness of other skin care treatments, helps with product penetration, and allows for a more flawless make-up application.

 IPL Permanent Hair Reduction

Intense pulsed light (IPL), is a technology aimed at producing light of high intensity during a very short period of time.

It is a method of hair removal from the body most commonly employed by medical practitioners and Master  Estheticians.

Cheaper and faster than laser hair removal, the IPL removal procedure has become very popular.  IPL can also be used as a skin treatment in a process known as photo-rejuvenation.

The focused, broad-spectrum light is applied to the surface of the skin by way of a hand-held wand.  This light travels through the skin until it strikes the hair shafts or the bulb (root) of the hair. The bulb is usually where the highest concentration of melanin is located, as opposed to the rest of the hair shaft. As the light is converted to heat energy, the bulb and most of the hair shaft are instantly vaporized. The intense heat radiated by the hair also destroys the hair-producing papilla or the entire hair follicle.  It is also claimed that direct light-heat conversion occurs directly in the darker colored capillaries that bring nourishing blood vessels to the follicle. Photoepilation is a permanent hair reduction method.

IPL technology is also employed in the treatment of medical disorders of the skin including:

• Sun damage induced dyspigmentation and vascular changes
• Poikiloderma of Civatte
• Acne and Rosacea
  
• Broken capillaries/telangiectasia
• Vascular and pigmented birth marks
