Dermaplaning: The Perfect Pairing with Our Iderm Facial

If you're looking to achieve a smooth, radiant complexion, dermaplaning may be just what you need. At DERMASPACE, we’re passionate about offering advanced treatments that deliver visible results, and one of the best-kept secrets to glowing skin is pairing dermaplaning with our signature Iderm Deep Ionization Facial Treatment.

In this blog post, we’ll dive into what dermaplaning is, why it’s such a great addition to your skincare routine, and how it enhances the benefits of the Iderm Facial for truly transformative results.

What Is Dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning is a non-invasive exfoliation treatment that removes the top layer of dead skin cells and fine vellus hair (also known as peach fuzz) from the face. It involves using a sterile, surgical-grade blade to gently exfoliate the skin, revealing a smoother and brighter complexion underneath. This treatment helps improve skin texture, reduce the appearance of fine lines, and allow better product penetration for maximum results.

Why Dermaplaning Is a Must for Exfoliation

  • Instant Smoothness: One of the standout benefits of dermaplaning is the immediate smoothness it provides. Your skin feels soft and velvety after just one session, making it perfect before a special event or as part of your regular skincare routine.

  • Better Product Absorption: By removing the layer of dead skin cells, dermaplaning allows for deeper penetration of your skincare products, making them more effective. This means your serums and moisturizers will work harder for you post-treatment.

  • Makeup Application Perfection: With the vellus hair removed, makeup glides on effortlessly, giving you a flawless, airbrushed look.

  • Safe and Gentle: Dermaplaning is safe for most skin types, including those with sensitive skin. It’s a great alternative for those who may not be candidates for more aggressive exfoliation treatments like chemical peels.

How Dermaplaning Complements Our Iderm Facial

At DERMASPACE, we specialize in the Iderm Deep Ionization Facial Treatment, also known as The Iderm Facial, a deep-cleansing facial that uses ionization technology to detoxify the skin and infuse it with nutrients. When paired with dermaplaning, the results are even more remarkable.

Here’s why:

  1. Enhanced Penetration of Iderm’s Positive Solution: Dermaplaning preps the skin by removing dead cells and peach fuzz, which allows the Positive Solution used in our Iderm Facial to penetrate deeper into the skin. This ensures your skin receives maximum hydration and nutrient infusion.

  2. Boosted Cellular Turnover: Both treatments encourage skin renewal, but dermaplaning focuses on the surface layer, while the Iderm Facial works at a deeper level to detoxify and balance the skin. Together, they create a powerful boost to cellular turnover, promoting a fresher, more youthful complexion.

  3. Increased Smoothness and Clarity: The Iderm Facial is known for its ability to deeply cleanse the pores and remove impurities, which pairs perfectly with the skin-smoothing benefits of dermaplaning. After this duo treatment, clients often notice significantly clearer and brighter skin with minimized pores.

  4. Non-Irritating Combo: Both treatments are gentle enough to be done in the same session without causing irritation. Dermaplaning removes debris and vellus hair, while the Iderm Facial soothes, hydrates, and restores balance, making this the ideal combination for sensitive or congested skin types.

The Benefits of Dermaplaning and Iderm Together

When combined, dermaplaning and the Iderm Facial can:

  • Brighten dull skin by removing dead cells and increasing circulation.

  • Minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

  • Improve skin texture by smoothing out uneven areas and giving you a more radiant glow.

  • Reduce breakouts by deeply cleansing the skin and removing surface congestion.

  • Enhance overall skin health by infusing vital nutrients and encouraging cellular renewal.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning is safe for most skin types and tones. However, it’s especially beneficial for those who:

  • Have dry, dull, or textured skin.

  • Want to reduce the appearance of fine lines or sun damage.

  • Are looking for a non-invasive way to exfoliate.

  • Want to enhance the results of their facial treatments, like the Iderm Facial.

How to Incorporate Dermaplaning and Iderm Into Your Skincare Routine

At DERMASPACE, we recommend incorporating dermaplaning as part of your monthly skincare routine. When paired with the Iderm Facial, the combination can give your skin the refresh it needs while targeting deep impurities for long-lasting results. Whether you’re preparing for an event or simply want to maintain a smooth, glowing complexion year-round, this duo is the perfect solution.

Hyaluronic Acid......you are what you eat!!

Content written by:Carina Wolff for DermStore

It’s no secret that what you eat can affect your skin. You might already try to eat foods high in antioxidants like vitamin A and vitamin E to help improve your complexion.

However, there’s another nutrient you might not be as familiar with that can do wonders for your skin.

Hyaluronic acid is a compound that occurs naturally in your body, and it is responsible for attracting and retaining moisture. It is thought to improve cell-to-cell interaction and promote collagen synthesis, which can prevent wrinkles and improve your skin’s texture.
Your body does make its own hyaluronic acid, but as you age, your production of it diminishes. Some people choose to inject hyaluronic acid as a dermal filler, which can help add volume to the skin.

Others apply it topically, which won’t produce as dramatic or lasting results—as it can’t reach the deepest layers of the skin—but can still smooth the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
If you want to increase your levels of hyaluronic acid in other ways, you can look to your diet.

There are a number of foods that contain the compound that can help your skin stay supple and smooth. 


Foods like leafy greens contain magnesium, which is a necessary catalyst to help with HA production in the body. Other foods that are high in magnesium include avocado, nuts, fruits and seeds. Salads loaded with all these ingredients are a great way to boost magnesium content while getting your fair share of other nutrients along with it as well.

Here's Why Chemical Peels Are the Secret to Perfect Skin BY JOLENE EDGAR for Allure

I LOVE this article and it's a great explanation of why I love PCA Chemical Peels.....available now at DERMASPACE.

 

Here's Why Chemical Peels Are the Secret to Perfect Skin

BY JOLENE EDGAR

APRIL 27, 2016

A spotless, lineless, flawless complexion is lying just beneath the surface of your skin—and doctors have found that a classic treatment is the fastest way there.

Satin slip dresses slinked down the spring runways. Celebrities are wearing chokers on the red carpet. And here's one more '90s revival for you: the chemical peel. After being eclipsed in the early 2000s by new skin-resurfacing lasers, these classic treatments (like, ancient-Egypt classic) are back on top in dermatologists' offices. More people are getting them now than in 1997 (when peels were the number-one cosmetic procedure in the country), according to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery. "Turns out good old chemical peels can actually deliver certain skin benefits—like reversing melasma and breakouts—better than high-tech devices," says Doris Day, a clinical associate professor of dermatology at NYU Langone Medical Center. By casting off dull surface cells, they improve fine lines, acne, discoloration, and more. And they do it for all skin types and colors—usually for a fraction of the cost of flashier (literally) options. "The minute I switch on a laser, things get expensive," says Vivian Bucay, a San Antonio dermatologist. A superficial fractional-laser treatment can run up to $1,000 a session—and you'll probably need several. A medium-depth chemical peel may cost a third of that and "gives more impressive results in a single treatment," says Bucay (but count on more recovery time).

As with most old-is-new-again ideas, today's peels aren't just total retreads (the new slip dresses are better too, FYI). "When glycolic peels got really popular in the '90s, they hurt like a mother and left skin raw," says Jeannette Graf, an assistant clinical professor of dermatology at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City. But acid formulas have been refined, and so have dermatologists' approaches to using them. "Our goal now isn't so much to cause visible peeling as it is to infuse the skin with ingredients that diminish lines, build collagen, and improve tone," says Jennifer Linder, an assistant clinical professor of dermatology at the University of California, San Francisco, and the chief scientific officer for the clinical line PCA Skin. Still not sold? Here are five more reasons to book a peel—and help your skin make a radical comeback.

Peels can make your skin—and skin-care products—work better. In minutes, acids lift away dead cells and trigger a lovely chain reaction: "As that topmost layer is shed, signals are sent to the living cells below to multiply and move up, to increase collagen production, to make more hyaluronic acid—to act younger," says David Bank, an assistant clinical professor of dermatology at Columbia University/Presbyterian Hospital in New York City. A thorough sloughing also offers one very immediate upshot: smoother skin that's both more radiant and more receptive. "Your skin-care products perform better after a peel because there are no dead cells impeding their penetration," says New York City dermatologist Neal Schultz, who averages at least 50 peels a week in his Park Avenue office.

They're low-risk, and you can go custom. There are chemical peels that are safe to use on every skin color without risk of hyperpigmentation (usually a worry with darker complexions). "We now know that using low percentages of multiple acids gives a better outcome with less irritation than a single acid at a higher strength," Linder says. Doctors have plenty of premixed cocktails to choose from, like PCA Skin Sensi Peel, which mixes trichloroacetic acid (TCA) and lactic acid to rev up collagen synthesis deep down and dissolve the drab skin on top. But a lot of doctors also cook up their own recipes to address very specific concerns. For tenacious brown spots, Bucay adds a pinch of brightening vitamin C or a smidgen of bleaching hydroquinone to her acids of choice. And when treating those same spots on sensitive skin, she offsets the potent lighteners with soothing polyphenols.

The right peel can end acne and soften the scars that come with it. Salicylic acid peels and Jessner's peels (equal parts salicylic acid, lactic acid, and resorcinol, an antiseptic exfoliant) dive deep into skin to unclog pores while also skimming the surface to erode blackheads and fade post-pimple marks. Another advantage of salicylic acid: It lingers in the pores, where it continues to keep them clear over time. To improve pitted acne scars, Harold J. Brody, a clinical professor of dermatology at Emory University in Atlanta, targets individual divots with a high percentage of TCA before applying a weaker acid to the rest of the face to even things out. "I think this method beats most resurfacing lasers, plus there's little to no downtime and it's safe for all skin colors," he says. Bucay prefers treating acne scars with peels to skirt this surprising laser pitfall: "There's roughly a 30 percent chance of an acne eruption following Fraxel," she says. "It's really disheartening when someone gets a flare-up of the very thing that left her with scars in the first place."

Nothing controls melasma better. There isn't a permanent cure for the recurring sun-triggered dark patches brought on by hormonal surges (like those caused by pregnancy and the Pill), but chemical peels (paired with at-home bleaching creams, high-SPF sunscreen, and strict sun avoidance) offer the best fighting chance. Lasers may make lofty claims, yet "they're essentially trying to treat a light- and heat-sensitive condition with light and heat," says Cheryl Burgess, an assistant clinical professor of dermatology at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C. Even when a laser does eviscerate splotches initially, pigment often reappears weeks later, making lasers seem like a major investment for a short-term reprieve.

A peel will let you (maybe) toss your undereye concealer. We don't even like opening our eyes in the pool, so we'll be the first to admit that acid near our eyeballs sounds dicey. But doctors say Glytone's new Enerpeel Technology Brightening Peel System works beautifully and safely on the hereditary dark circles created by piled-up pigment. They credit the form of the acid—3.75 percent TCA and 15 percent lactic acid in a nondrippy gel carefully dispensed via a pen applicator—and the delivery system, which "drives the acid in deep, bypassing the epidermis to lessen irritation," explains Graf. A series of treatments may be needed, but some people see a profound improvement after just one.

THE BEST ANTI-AGING CREAM YOU COULD EVER BUY!!!

I tell my clients all the time that the best anti-aging cream isn't found in a $400 jar of *insert expensive brand name here* but in a simple container of a GOOD SPF.  

At least an SPF30.  Daily.  Every day.  Even when the clouds are out because if that sun is in the sky, hidden or not, then you are at risk of sun damage and pre-mature aging.  Period. End of story.  

I could go on and on about how toxic sunbathing is and how at this point if you don't already know that then you have far worse things to worry about.

I say this because if you don't know how bad sunbathing is for you (and this most certainly includes indoor tanning beds) then clearly you have been sheltered your whole life either under a rock or hidden away in a bunker somewhere.  

Hopefully neither of these are true.  

Yes the sun feels nice and warm on our skin and we can still enjoy that.....WITH PROTECTION. That said, this protection does not last all day....it needs to be reapplied about every 90 minutes or so.  Especially if you are in the water.  

So please do yourself and your skin a favor and just protect it - it's the only one you get and although that golden glow might look pretty in your 20's......the damage it causes won't look so cute when you hit your 40's and beyond. 

Check out this great video to see what I mean.....

Cheers and enjoy the weather, just be smart about it. (Check out our sunscreen recommendations below the video)
