Why I Love & Recommend Dermaplaning + Dermalogica

Sacred Skin Rituals for Radiant, Healthy Glow

What Is Dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning is a gentle, non-invasive exfoliation treatment that removes dead skin cells and fine vellus hair (often called “peach fuzz”) from the skin's surface using a sterile surgical blade.

It immediately:

  • Smooths texture

  • Brightens dull skin

  • Softens the appearance of fine lines

  • Allows skincare products to penetrate more deeply

  • Creates flawless makeup application

But for me, it’s more than a surface treatment.

Dermaplaning is about revealing what’s already there.
It’s about removing what no longer serves.
It’s about letting your natural radiance rise to the surface.

And when paired with the right skincare? That’s where the magic deepens.

Why I Pair Dermaplaning with Dermalogica

After dermaplaning, your skin is beautifully receptive. It’s open. It’s ready.

This is why I exclusively use Dermalogica in my studio.

Here’s why I trust it:

1. Professional-Grade + Skin Health Focused

Dermalogica is formulated by skin therapists, not trend-driven marketing teams. The ingredients are active, effective, and focused on long-term skin health, not quick fixes.

2. Clean, Results-Driven Formulations

No artificial fragrances. No unnecessary fillers. Just targeted, high-performance ingredients that support the skin barrier (which is especially important post-dermaplaning).

3. Customizable for Every Season of Life

Whether you’re:

  • Navigating hormonal shifts

  • Supporting aging skin

  • Healing breakouts

  • Restoring barrier function

  • Or simply wanting glow

Dermalogica allows me to fully customize your treatment.

Why This Combination Works So Beautifully

Dermaplaning removes the barrier of dead skin cells.

Dermalogica infuses the skin with nourishment, hydration, and active ingredients.

Together, they:

  • Enhance product absorption

  • Improve skin tone and clarity

  • Support collagen health

  • Create a luminous, lit-from-within glow

It’s not harsh.
It’s not aggressive.
It’s intentional.

This is not a “quick beauty fix.”
It’s a sacred skin ritual.

Is Dermaplaning Safe?

Yes, when performed by a licensed professional.

In my South Portland studio, dermaplaning is done with precision, care, and deep respect for your skin’s integrity. I assess your skin first to ensure you’re a good candidate and adjust your treatment if needed.

Dermaplaning is ideal for most skin types, but we may modify or avoid it if you have:

  • Active acne

  • Certain inflammatory conditions

  • Extremely sensitized skin

Your skin is unique. Your treatment should be too.

What It Feels Like

Clients often say:

  • “My skin has never felt this soft.”

  • “My makeup goes on like silk.”

  • “I didn’t realize how dull my skin was until now.”

But what I love most?

The moment someone looks in the mirror afterward.

It’s not just glow.
It’s recognition, a remembering of who they truly are.

My Philosophy on Skin

I am not here to “fix” you or change you.

I am here to:

  • Support it

  • Strengthen it

  • Help you understand it

  • Guide you back to caring for it

Dermaplaning + Dermalogica is one of my favorite ways to do that.

Because when we gently remove what’s built up and nourish what remains…

Your skin remembers how to thrive.
