Dermaplaning in Westport
Dermaplaning is a highly effective procedure for removing the outermost layer of dead skin cells and the layer of velous hair (‘peach fuzz’). The treatment utilizes a specially-designed tool to gently remove the topmost layers of skin leaving the skin supple and vibrant. Excellent on its own or combined with hydrating facials, chemical peels or rejuvenating treatments.
The immediate result is fresh, bright skin revealed and a smoother look and feel to the skin. Most people notice marked improvements in the texture and appearance of their skin immediately after their first treatment, making it an excellent procedure to have prior to a special event. Dermaplaning is also ideal for our pregnant and nursing clients as it is non-invasive and does not require the use of any chemicals.

Who dermaplaning is suitable for
Dermaplaning is suitable for most skin types and is particularly helpful for dry or flaking texture, for makeup that settles into fine facial hair, and for skin that looks dull before an occasion. Results vary from person to person, and the treatment refines the surface of the skin rather than altering its deeper structure.
It is not recommended while the skin is compromised. Active or cystic acne, an open lesion, a rosacea or eczema flare and sunburn are all reasons to postpone, as are a recent peel or laser treatment. During a consultation with Kataryna, a Licensed Aesthetician and Registered Nurse, you will discuss your skin, your history and your goals, and decide together whether dermaplaning is the right treatment for you.
