Million Dollar Aesthetics Systems

Dermaplane treatments take approximately 30 minutes. The area to be treated will be cleaned, and then a sterile blade will be used to gently exfoliate your skin. The removed skin cells and “peach fuzz” will be gently wiped away at the end of the procedure – revealing a fresh, vibrant skin surface.  ​    

 How soon will I see the results?  ​  

Initial benefits from Dermaplane treatments are immediately apparent. However, optimal results require regular maintenance treatments. It took many years for your skin to lose its vitality, and it takes time to regenerate new cells.  ​  

Does it hurt?  ​ Not at all. The process does not require any topical anaesthesia or painkillers.  ​  

What can I expect after my Dermaplane?  ​  

Dermaplaning is a non-invasive treatment with low risk of complications and is one of the safest skin rejuvenation procedures available. Some patients report redness or dry feeling in their skin after a treatment, but this is temporary. Very rarely the skin can be nicked. This typically heals almost on the spot – remember – most men use a blade on their faces almost every day and nick themselves regularly with no long-term effects! Typical care following your treatment includes the use of moisturizers and sunscreen and avoiding sun exposure for a few days.  ​  

When can I resume normal activities / wear make-up?  ​  

Straight away! This is the ultimate “lunch hour” procedure, and most people return to their normal activities immediately. Lipstick & eye makeup can be applied straight after the treatment, however we recommend that foundation, blusher, bronzer or anything that is applied directly onto the treated area is not used for 12-24 hours.  ​    

What are the benefits of regular Dermaplane treatments?  ​  

Regular use of Dermaplane treatments can improve or eliminate superficial skin problems. It works on all skin types and colours to produce subtle changes, creating a more even skin tone. However, it is not effective for problems such as stretch marks, keloids (an overgrowth of scar tissue at the site of a healed skin injury) reducing wrinkles, or deep acne scarring. 

Can I combine my Dermaplane with other treatments?    

Absolutely! In fact, Dermaplaning is a key component of our multi-process Million Dollar Facials. Not only can you combine a Dermaplane with other treatments, you will gain maximum benefit from any additional treatments as a result of the Dermaplaning. By removing the outermost layer of the epidermis, a Dermaplane treatment then allows whatever rejuvenating treatment that follows it to have a deeper and more long-lasting effect, we highly recommend that every skin rejuvenation or wrinkle reduction treatment be preceded by a Dermaplane treatment for maximum effect.    

Schedule your next appointment for 4-6 weeks.  ​  

You can safely repeat the procedure every 4-6 weeks and the benefits of your treatment will be enhanced by regular sessions. Charmaine or Collette will discuss with you what’s best for your skin and recommend a skincare plan. 

Avoid facial waxing for 7 days.  ​   

No scrubs, peels, or aggressive brushes for 7 days.  ​  

No swimming for 7 days No excessive exercise, heat treatments or makeup for 48 hours No other facial/body treatments for 2 weeks Avoid products such as retinol for 7 days before/after Do apply serums as absorption levels will be elevated.  ​   

Be sparing with self-tan, remember absorption levels are elevated.  ​   

Your skin will be pink after Microneedling.  If you look in the mirror after your treatment and find that your face is pink, don’t panic. It’s normal for your skin to be pink following a Microneedling treatment. Using a good moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated will help minimize the pinkness.  ​  

Bruising and swelling.  ​  

Be aware that the roller your clinician will use around your eyes may cause some slight bruising. It’s nothing to be worried about, and the bruising is usually faint enough to be covered up with makeup. Some people may also experience some mild swelling after Microneedling.  ​Rough skin and visible marks.  ​You may get a few lumps and bumps but this is totally normal as your skin has been through an elective trauma. After your procedure, your skin will feel and look different. It might feel rough to the touch for a few days, and you may notice some slight visible marks on your skin. Both of these effects are caused by the micro injuries created by the punctures. As your skin heals, these marks will soon fade and your skin will become smoother than it was before.  ​  

Minimal Microneedling downtime.  ​ 

 The inflammatory effect of Microneedling is short. Within just 12-24 hours, your skin should fade and the swelling should go down, though you may experience some sensitivity for up to 48 hours. Wash skin with a gentle cleanser and cool water, and pat dry with your hands. If you received a more aggressive treatment, the pinkness may linger a bit longer.  ​  

Stay away from Ibuprofen.  ​  

Microneedling relies on your body’s natural inflammatory process to stimulate cell regeneration, so it is highly recommended that you stay away from anti-inflammatory medications such as Ibuprofen. These medications will interfere with your body’s recovery process and affect your results. Use a cool compress to soothe any discomfort or swelling.  ​  Peeling will start 3-5 days after treatment.  ​ 

Peeling is a normal and important part of the Microneedling healing process, caused by the increased cell turnover. You can expect peeling to start within 3-5 days after your appointment. It is very important that you moisturise at least twice a day and don’t pick at or scratch your skin. Keep it well moisturised to minimize itching that might encourage scratching.  ​  Schedule your next appointment for 4-6 weeks.  ​  

While the downtime after Microneedling is just a day or two at most, you should wait a few weeks to repeat the treatment. You can safely repeat the procedure every 4-6 weeks until you achieve your desired results. Charmaine or Collette (Million Dollar Platinum Technician), will advise you what’s best for your skin.
