00:02You have to trust your provider because she's literally holding a knife across
00:07her face. One wrong move and you'll get nicked.
00:20Hi, I'm Nina and I'm getting a Dermaplane facial done today. My skin is
00:26really dry normally. I never go out into the sun and it flakes a lot and I have a
00:31lot of whiteheads. My biggest concern really is the dryness and then the
00:37wrinkles forming around my eyes.
00:41My name is Alexa Yance and I am a medical esthetician at Facile Dermatology
00:46and Boutique. I've been a medical esthetician for almost 30 years now. I
00:51have done more Dermaplane facials than I can probably count. Dermaplane
00:56is really ideal for patients who have very dry dehydrated skin. Patients are
01:01really amazed at how much peach fuzz they have removed from their skin. A lot of
01:07people like the dermaplaning because of the smooth texture it leaves afterwards.
01:12Makeup goes on smoother, your products absorb better, it just gives an all-over
01:17better glow to the skin.
01:20I'm mostly concerned about the blade cutting off essentially the top layer of my skin.
01:42I really try to tell everybody not to talk when I'm doing this because I do have a
01:47straight edge blade in my hand so I don't want to nick you. So no more talking.
01:56Alexa takes the 10 gauge surgical blade and starts scraping all of the dead skin and the
02:03hairs off my face.
02:08I can see from the corner of my eye coming off in these little tufts but it actually feels really
02:12good.
02:24We are going to proceed with the red light which is light stim.
02:32Red light therapy helps with any kind of inflammation. It also helps to stimulate collagen production as well as cut
02:42any redness within the skin. It's a great way to end any treatment.
02:49After the red light therapy, Alexa removes the goggles and then she applies sunscreen to protect my exfoliated skin from
02:55UV rays.
02:56It's like you just took off like so much stress in my life.
03:05After 12 years, dermaplaning has just come very natural to me. I feel very confident treating patients with that surgical
03:11blade in my hand.
03:13One of the biggest questions with dermaplaning is if the hair grows back thicker or darker and it does not.
03:20It typically grows back just as fine as it was within a few weeks.
03:26After dermaplane, I usually recommend that my patients avoid any chemicals to lessen the sensitivity of the skin.
03:35I'm pretty happy with the results of my dermaplane facial. My skin feels smooth. It feels heavily exfoliated.
03:43I was definitely not surprised by how much dead skin I have on my face.
03:46I would recommend dermaplaning to anybody that I know who wants a really good exfoliating procedure.
03:54I wish I could have more cleansing, more exfoliating, more everything. I mean, it's easy to get addicted to getting
04:00a life-changing facial.
