When it comes to achieving glowing, smooth, and radiant skin, few treatment combinations can rival the powerful duo of dermaplaning and a Level One Chemical Peel. Together, these treatments work to exfoliate away dull skin, remove peach fuzz, and unveil a brighter, more even complexion. If you’ve been searching for a gentle yet effective way to refresh your skin, this treatment combo could be precisely what you need.
At Charette Cosmetics, we’re committed to offering treatments that deliver actual results. In this article, we’ll explore how dermaplaning and chemical peels work, why they’re so effective when combined, and what you can expect before, during, and after your treatment.
What Is Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is a non-invasive exfoliation treatment that gently removes dead skin cells and fine vellus hair (commonly known as peach fuzz) from the surface of your skin. Using a sterile, medical-grade blade, a trained practitioner carefully scrapes away the outermost layer of skin to reveal a smoother, brighter complexion.
Key Benefits of Dermaplaning
- Instant Radiance: Your skin immediately appears brighter and more even.
- Better Product Absorption: By removing the barrier of dead skin cells, your skincare products penetrate deeper and work more effectively.
- Smooth Makeup Application: With peach fuzz gone, makeup glides on effortlessly, creating a flawless finish.
- Non-Invasive and Painless: Dermaplaning is gentle, making it suitable for most skin types, including sensitive skin.
What Is a Level One Chemical Peel?
A Level One Chemical Peel is a mild, superficial peel designed to improve skin texture, tone, and radiance. It uses a combination of gentle acids to exfoliate the top layer of skin, promoting cell turnover and addressing common concerns like dullness, fine lines, and uneven pigmentation.
At Charette Cosmetics, we also offer a specialized chemical peel for the lips, which targets dryness and discoloration to leave lips smoother, softer, and more hydrated.
Key Benefits of a Level One Chemical Peel
- Improved Skin Tone and Texture: The peel brightens dull skin and smooths uneven texture.
- Reduced Fine Lines: By stimulating collagen production, the peel can soften the appearance of fine lines.
- Fewer Blemishes: The gentle exfoliation unclogs pores, helping to reduce acne and prevent future breakouts.
- Hydrated Lips: The lip peel provides an extra layer of hydration and smoothness to delicate lip skin.
The Power of Combining Dermaplaning with a Chemical Peel
While dermaplaning and chemical peels are effective on their own, combining them creates a synergistic effect that enhances their benefits. Here’s why this duo is a match made in skincare heaven:
Enhanced Exfoliation
Dermaplaning removes the top layer of dead skin cells, allowing the chemical peel to penetrate more evenly and deeply. This makes the peel more effective at addressing issues like discoloration, fine lines, and texture.
Brighter, Smoother Results
The immediate smoothness achieved through dermaplaning is complemented by the long-term brightening effects of the chemical peel. Together, they deliver a luminous, even-toned complexion.
Gentle Yet Effective
This combination is powerful but gentle, making it suitable for most skin types, even those with sensitivities. A Level One Chemical Peel is mild enough to complement dermaplaning without irritating.
Comprehensive Treatment
By addressing both surface-level concerns (peach fuzz and dead skin) and deeper issues (pigmentation and fine lines), this treatment provides an all-in-one refresh for your face and lips.
What to Expect During Your Treatment
Step 1: Consultation
Your journey begins with a consultation. During this session, your practitioner will evaluate your skin and discuss your goals to ensure the treatment is customized to your needs.
Step 2: Dermaplaning
The dermaplaning procedure is performed first to create a clean, smooth canvas for the chemical peel. Your practitioner gently removes dead skin cells and peach fuzz using a sterile blade. This process is painless and relaxing, leaving your skin instantly smoother.
Step 3: Level One Chemical Peel
Once your skin is prepped, the Level One Chemical Peel is applied. The solution is left on your skin for a specific amount of time, depending on your skin type and concerns. You may feel a slight tingling sensation, which is normal and indicates that the peel is working.
Step 4: Lip Peel (Optional)
For those opting to include the lip peel, a specialized formula is applied to exfoliate and hydrate the delicate skin on your lips.
Step 5: Post-Treatment Care
Your practitioner will apply soothing products to calm your skin and provide aftercare instructions to ensure optimal results.
Aftercare Tips for Glowing Skin
After your treatment, it’s essential to care for your skin properly to maintain and enhance your results. Here’s what to keep in mind:
- Hydrate: Keep your skin well-moisturized to support the healing process.
- Avoid Sun Exposure: Your skin will be more sensitive to the sun, so wear broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher and avoid direct sunlight.
- Skip Harsh Products: Avoid using exfoliating scrubs, retinoids, or strong acids for at least a week after your treatment.
- Follow Your Practitioner’s Advice: Stick to the recommended skincare routine provided by your practitioner.
