Dermaplaning Facial

Dermaplaning is a non-invasive exfoliation treatment that involves using a sterile blade to gently remove dead skin cells and peach fuzz from your skin’s surface, resulting in a smoother and brighter complexion.

Not only will your active facial ingredients be able to work at their best, but your daily skincare routine will visibly absorb better than you’ve ever experienced.

Makeup wearers are also regular dermaplaning facial guests as the velvety-smooth results of dermaplaning creates an unparalleled canvas for foundation.

Dermaplaning is generally safe for all skin types, including sensitive skin. However, we will conduct a thorough, complimentary skin consultation before your treatment to assess your specific needs and ensure that dermaplaning is suitable for you.

For our dermaplaning Winnipeg services, we proudly use DermaplanePro—the global leader in professional dermaplaning with precision-engineered blades and premium skincare products.

Dermaplaning is performed on a clean and makeup-free face. Your skin technician will cleanse your skin to prepare it. After the treatment, you will experience immediate results, such as smoother, more absorbent, and softer skin. Some individuals may notice a slight redness, which typically subsides within a few hours. It is important to follow the personalized post-treatment instructions provided by your skin technician for your unique skin.

At Total Wrapture, we only use DermaplanePro blades that are specially engineered for dermaplaning. Our experienced and highly-qualified skin technicians offer an unparalleled dermaplaning experience in Winnipeg, using the highest-quality dermaplaning supplies in the industry.

The frequency of dermaplaning treatments can vary depending on your skin’s needs and personal preferences. Many of our guests choose to have dermaplaning done monthly, while others may opt for treatments every 3-6 weeks. Your skin technician will recommend a schedule that aligns with your skincare goals. You can add-on a dermaplaning service to any facial or enjoy one of our dermaplaning facial treatments.

Dermaplaning is a non-invasive procedure with no downtime. You may experience some temporary redness or sensitivity immediately after the treatment, but it should subside quickly. It is important to protect your skin from sun exposure, wear an SPF 30 or higher every day, and follow the personalized post-treatment instructions provided by your skin technician for your unique skin.

Dermaplaning is comfortable and soothing. During the treatment, you may feel a light sensation as the safe, expertly-wielded blade glides across your skin. The treatment is painless and our guests find it relaxing, similar to a light facial massage. After dermaplaning, your skin will feel smoother, softer, and refreshed while looking noticeably dewy.

The removal of the outermost layer of dead skin cells allows energy-based treatments such as laser and radiofrequency (RF) to penetrate more deeply and evenly into the skin. 

By eliminating the barrier of dead skin cells and vellus hair, dermaplaning ensures better contact between the laser or RF device and the skin, maximizing the absorption of energy and optimizing the desired outcomes of the treatments. 

This synergy between dermaplaning and energy-based treatments can lead to improved results in addressing various skin concerns such as uneven texture, pigmentation, fine lines, and wrinkles.

Professional exfoliation such as dermaplaning also improves your comfort level during your laser treatment. Dead skin cells can make the skin feel rough or uneven, and laser may cause more discomfort or stinging sensations when applied to these areas. By dermaplaning beforehand, the treatment is more comfortable and tolerable.⁠

The benefits of dermaplaning typically last around 3 to 4 weeks. However, the duration may vary depending on individual factors such as you skin type, lifestyle, and skincare routine. Ask your skin technician to recommend a skincare routine for your unique skin to prolong your results.

Dermaplaning is primarily an exfoliation technique that removes dead skin cells and vellus hairs. While it provides a smoother complexion, diminishes the appearance of scars, and enhances the absorption of skincare products, it does not directly address active acne concerns, nor is it recommended for persons experiencing widespread acne.

However, there are targeted facials or exfoliation treatments such as a Hydrafacial Treatment, needle-free Mesotherapy, or Chemical Peels that visibly help with treating acne. You can explore our treatment guide for acne-prone skin here.

The frequency of dermaplaning is subjective and depends on personal preferences and skincare goals. Many of our guests include dermaplaning as a regular part of their skin care routine, scheduling treatments every 4 to 6 weeks at the same time as their routine facial.

Dermaplaning does not change the growth rate, colour, or texture of your vellus hairs (peach fuzz).

If you wear makeup, you will likely fall in love with dermaplaning after experiencing the velvety-smooth canvas for foundation created through dermaplaning.

Avoid Direct Sun Exposure: UVA/UVB rays are simply not your skin’s friend. Regardless of how you care for your skin, you should always wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen with a high SPF (30 or higher) during the day.  This is also important immediately after dermaplaning. Avoid tanning that day too. 

Gentle Care: Only use a gentle cleanser and moisturizer that night. Avoid using exfoliants, strong active ingredients, or scrubs for at least a week after your dermaplaning treatment. Try not to touch your face with your phone, hair, eyewear, or unwashed hands for a few hours to avoid irritating it.

Moisturize Regularly: Keep your skin well-hydrated by applying a gentle, non-irritating moisturizer. Your skin technician can help you select the right one for your unique skin.

Avoid Makeup for a Few Hours: It is best to avoid applying makeup immediately after dermaplaning, as the skin may be more sensitive. Wait a few hours before applying any cosmetics.

Your skin technician will provide personalized aftercare instructions based on your unique skin type and the specific dermaplaning treatment you had. Follow their recommendations for the best results and consult with them if you have any concerns or questions.

Skin technicians recommend getting professional exfoliation such as dermaplaning treatments every 3 to 6 weeks. To understand why this timeframe is suggested, let’s consider the skin cycle:

The skin cycle refers to the natural process of skin cell turnover, where new cells are generated in the deeper layers of the skin and gradually move up to the surface before shedding off. The complete skin cycle typically takes around 28 days, although it can vary from person to person.

Dermaplaning works by manually exfoliating the outermost layer of the skin, removing dead skin cells and revealing a smoother complexion. However, it’s important to allow enough time for your skin to regenerate and complete its natural skin cycle before undergoing another dermaplaning treatment to avoid sensitivity.

Having dermaplaning treatments every 3 to 6 weeks allows for ample time for the skin to go through its natural cycle that deposits dead skin cells on your skin’s surface. You can then remove them through dermaplaning to unclog your pores and start a new skin cycle with soft, decongested skin.

Our Winnipeg dermaplaning services feature DermaplanePro blades and products formulated to deliver smooth, radiant skin with every treatment.
