Dermaplaning
Did you know, during childhood, you begin to grow these soft, translucent hairs that we call peach fuzz or vellus hair. Its purpose is to thermally protect the body by providing insulation and cooling through perspiration. We all have the case of the fuzzies, however on some, it is more prominent than others.
Is it okay for you to remove these facial hairs? Yes. As long as you do it the right way.
You won’t believe the amount of buildup sitting on your face right now! The hair follicle is vulnerable to getting clogged from residue of skin products, makeup, dirt, oil, environmental pollutants… You name it! Daily washing alone is not enough to give you the deep clean that your skin is needing.
To improve the quality of your skin, at Onyx we recommend our Dermaplaning service. It is an exfoliating treatment performed by a medical aesthetician. A disposable surgical scalpel is used. During this process, the blade is gently applied in a gliding, stroking motion on the facial surface only. No penetration or abrasions. It is gentle, quick, and effective.
Skin is noticeably clearer, softer and smoother. All your skin products are able to penetrate deeper, so you’re able to receive the full benefits of the products you use. If you wear makeup, your complexion products will have a smoother surface to melt into, leaving a flawless finish. There’s no pain and no downtime for this treatment!
We will be pairing this service with products such as the OsmosisMD Cleanse, OsmosisMD Protect (with SPF 35), followed by a few drops of our favourite PAI Rosehip BioRegenerate Oil. We recommend for you to take home our Aria Beauty Satin Pillowcase to add on to your homecare. All of these products are sold at Onyx.
As often as we want to do this service (because of how good our skin looks and feels afterwards), we recommend to book in for 6-8 weeks prior to your appointment date (no less than 6 weeks). Your skin and hair need that time in between to regenerate.
Trust us. Try it once. We will see you again! That is how much we love Dermaplaning.
