Microneedling is a minimally invasive skincare treatment designed to stimulate your skin’s natural healing process and boost collagen and elastin production. Using a device with fine, sterile needles, tiny micro-channels are created in the skin, which triggers the body’s repair mechanisms. This process helps improve skin texture, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, fade acne scars, minimize enlarged pores, and enhance overall radiance. When paired with serums or growth factors, such as salmon DNA (PDRN), microneedling can further promote skin rejuvenation, hydration, and firmness. Ideal for most skin types, it is a safe and effective way to achieve smoother, firmer, and younger-looking skin with lasting results.

1. Mild to moderate acne scarring
2. Uneven skin texture or enlarged pores
3. Fine lines and wrinkles
4. Overall skin rejuvenation and glow

Dermaplaning is a gentle, non-invasive exfoliation treatment that removes dead skin cells and fine facial hair (“peach fuzz”) using a sterile, surgical-grade blade. This process leaves the skin smoother, brighter, and more radiant. By clearing away the surface layer, dermaplaning enhances skincare absorption and creates a flawless canvas for makeup. It can help reduce fine lines, improve skin texture, and promote an even complexion. Safe for most skin types, dermaplaning provides instant results with no downtime.

Pre-Treatment:

1. Do not use topical agents that may increase the sensitivity of your skin such as retinoids, exfoliants, topical antibiotics or acids 3-5 days prior to your treatment.
2. No waxing, laser, or electrolysis to the area being treated for 1 week prior.
3. Do not experiment with new products before the treatment.
4. Avoid alcohol and caffeine 24 hours before the treatment.
5. Avoid excessive sun exposure before the treatment.

Post-Treatment:

1. Use a gentle cleanser, serum and hydrating moisturizer and sunscreen after the treatment based upon your therapists recommendations.
2. Wait 7 days after dermaplaning for any facial hair removal services.
3. Avoid excessive sun exposure, wear a daily SPF 30 +.
4. Avoid applying makeup immediately after dermaplaning.
5. Avoid excessive heat, heavy workouts, swimming, and saunas for 24-48 hours after the treatment.
