Spa Girl Morgan is up for about anything so we sent her to Advanced Medical Aesthetics to get the goods on the popular skin treatment called dermaplaning. Dermaplaning is a process in which a skilled skincare professional uses a sharp scalpel to exfoliate the skin. Yes, it's a glorified close shave. But did it leave her skin smooth and glowing? And does it hurt? Here's the scoop!
With the fond memories of summer lovin' now just a mere album on Facebook, time to face fall with some serious post summer skincare repair and luckily I know just the face (ur, I mean place!). Time to visit Advanced Medical Aesthetics for the works -- dermaplaning and medical grade peel.
I arrived early for my appointment to the large medical building where Advanced Medical Aesthetics is quietly tucked inside. After completing a brief new client questionnaire, I sat tight and took in the large and open waiting lounge that is shared among clients of the medical building. The room boasts a sunny yellow wall, where just behind lies medical rooms as well as the charming hideaway where Heather Madden, raved and reviewed aesthetician works her magic. Before I could settle in too much, I was greeted by the bubbly and flawless-faced Heather. She quietly escorted me past the medical rooms and into the doors of Advanced Medical Aesthetics, a clean and simple studio with a charming touch of urban flair. Before changing and getting too comfy, we thoroughly discussed my skin, medical history and skin treatment history (as a self proclaimed product junkie, this took some time!). Heather concluded that I was the perfect client for dermaplaning and explained how the procedure was especially beneficial in the removal of the outer layer of dead skin cells and fine hair. It helps to unclog pores while enhancing the absorption of product (the way it's intended to work). She was very thorough and knowledgeable and put me right to ease. After quickly explaining the process from the prep to the manual dermaplane exfoliation to the light peel that completes the service, we were ready to get my skin back into working order! I lied back and got comfy as Heather worked though her skin-perfecting steps. A thorough cleanse then on to the fun part! Dermaplaning uses a surgical blade to gently remove the thin top layer of skin and the peach fuzz that traps the icky bacteria on the dermis level. While sharp enough to scrape away hair and dead skin, the blade gently avoids nicks and cuts. The sensation compares to a gentle scrape and tickle (seriously, no harm here!). Heather then applied a light peel (she'll decide which one is best for you), to draw out more oil from the pores and to enhance exfoliation. Finally, the service is complete with a light hand massage and moisturizing balm for your lips.
I noticed right away my face was ultra smooth and soft! And when I went to apply makeup the next morning, foundation just slipped right on -- like butta! Overall a terrific experience, I give it two thumbs up!
