PREGNANCY treatments

Dermaplaning is not suitable for you if you have any of the following: Active acne Bleeding disorders or difficulty clotting Diabetes that is not under the control of medication or diet Skin cancers, cold sores/herpes, keloid scarring or eczema Cancer that is undergoing treatment, including chemotherapy or radiation

A dermaplaning treatment takes approximately 30 minutes, including skin prep and blading. Additional services are recommended to complete the service. The treatment can be repeated every 4-8 weeks.

Do not exfoliate for 5 days Avoid products containing retinol for 5 days Keep skin hydrated and apply sunscreen daily

Your hair will grow back exactly the same colour and structure as it was prior to Dermaplaning; this is because the actual hair follicles are not being impacted.

Significantly reduced hair growth after each treatment. Hair that does grow back is finer than the original hair. Multiple laser sessions are required at 4-8 week intervals. Typically 6-10 sessions may be required

Stay out of the sun for at least two weeks. Avoid using any spray tan or self-tanning lotion at least a week before treatment. Shave the area the night before or the day of treatment.

The area may feel like you have a mild sunburn for up to two hours. Application of cool towel or ice pack is advised. Always use SPF 50 on treated areas and avoid sun exposure. Do not wax between laser sessions; only shave if necessary.

People experiencing: pregnancy and breast feeding, roaccutane, papulopustular rosacea, active acne, cancer or radiation therapy, keloid scarring or abnormal wound healing, permanent fillers, recent fillers (within last 2 weeks), waxing (within 1 week), warfarin, herpes simplex, sunburn, open wounds of any kind, eczema, dermatitis, infections, recent facial surgery, warts, bacterial fungal infections, solar keratosis, haemophilia, should NOT get this treatment. Consult with a medical professional if you're unsure.

Rejuvenation: 4-6 treatments 4 weeks apart Acne Scarring: 6 treatments 6 weeks apart Stretch marks: 4-8 treatments 4-6 weeks apart

Patient After Care for the next 2-5 days following treatment Skin is to be kept as clean as possible to reduce infection. Avoid the use of moisturisers or lotions containing active ingredients such as retinol, glycolic acids, perfumes and colours. Do not exfoliate the skin or pick as this may cause infection or scaring Do not expose the skin to the sun as your skin will be a little more sensitive. Wear a hat and sunscreen daily Avoid vigorous exercise, saunas, chlorinated and salt water pools, steam baths and hot showers for 48 hours Do not wax, IPL, laser or depilatory creams for 2 weeks following your treatment Apply moisturiser as required. Contact the salon on 0437 207 756 if you have any further queries

Skin Preparation Healthy skin will respond far better to treatment than a weak skin therefore a skin care regime using active ingredients prior is always recommended. We can help you with this. Applying a numbing cream (purchased from a chemist) 45 minutes prior to a cleansed skin is optional for comfort.

Smoking reduces the capacity for skin to make collagen, as it is harder to stimulate growth factors. Therefore it also reduces the skins natural ability to heal. More bruising may occur following the needling process and therefore result may be limited

Each person experiences pain differently and needle lengths will vary over different areas of the face. You may feel a warmth or scratching sensation once the procedure starts. If you have opted to apply a numbing cream prior to your procedure you won’t feel much pain. Pin point bleeding is to be expected with some peoples treatments depending on the condition being treated however skin will not continue to bleed following the treatment.

You may experience facial redness, sensitivity and inflammation for 12-48 hours after the treatment. The skin can become tight and slightly uncomfortable. Bruising, crusting and light flaking may occur on the days following the procedure. Grazing and pustules may also occur but are not common. Application of a breathable camouflage will seal the skin and cover any redness for an immediate return to work. The wound healing response is the biological repair action that cascades within the skin after micro trauma. The microscopic puncture channels created by Dermapen™ create controlled regeneration. 3 Stages of wound healing The inflammation phase – first 48 hours to 5 days post treatment. Redness occurs, bacteria and debris are phagocytosed or removed. Platelets form to prevent further bleeding and release growth factors. Proliferation phase – day 2 – 21 post treatment. Angiogenesis, fibroblasts grow and form a new extra cellular matrix, by excreting collagen and fibronectin. Re-epithelisation of the epidermis occurs and epithelial cells proliferate and migrate to the wound providing protection for new tissue. Maturation – 20 days to 24 months. Collagen is remodelled and realigned. Type III collagen is replaced by type I. Scar tissue is flattened. Cells that are no longer needed are removed. ​ We highly recommend a hydrafacial or enzyme treatment 7-14 days following your treatment for elevated results to the skin!

Typically, you will see results after the first treatment. Lasting and more significant results will occur after 4 to 6 treatments (spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. Your skin will continue to improve over the next 6-12 months after a course of treatments and when combined with the recommended post treatment care.

Expected changes over the next 7 days apart from healthy, hydrated glowing skin include: Day 1 to 3 – Possible tight, dry skin with moderated redness and sensitivity Day 3 to 7 – Possible peeling or slight flaking lasting 2 to 5 days

Redness and sensitivity (similar to a mild sunburn) lasting 24 to 48 hours may occur. With the lymphatic system being stimulated your skin may purge for a few days following.

Avoid the use of moisturisers or lotions containing active ingredients such as retinol, glycolic acids, perfumes and colours for 3 days Your skin will be a little more sensitive to the sun so keep sun exposure to a minimum. Please wear a hat and sunscreen daily. This should be a regular routine for you anyway! Apply foundation as you wish Slight crusting may develop in some areas. If so please do not rub or pick the skin as this may lead to a scar.

The degree of peeling depends on the intensity of the facial massage and the pre-condition of skin (other treatments & products used prior) The peeling part indicates skin that is regenerating faster or dead cells that have accumilated over time. If peeling hasn't occured it does not mean the client will not see results. If erythema was induced then the collagen synthesis has been ingnited.

The sebaceous glands in the skin produce sebum, an oily substance that helps to lubricate and protect the skin. When the sebaceous glands produce too much sebum, which can be influenced by: Hormonal imbalances Gut health/Diet Genetics Certain Medications and Certain Medical Conditions such as Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) the sebum then mixes with dead skin cells and plugs up the hair follicles, leading to the development of acne.

WHITEHEADS Occurs when a pore becomes clogged with a mix of dead skin cells and sebum. BLACKHEADS Blackheads get their name because they appear as dark spots in your skin. Like whiteheads, blackheads are caused by clogged pores that change colour when exposed to oxygen. PAPULES Swollen red bumps that so many of us imagine as “typical” breakouts. PUSTULES Essentially papules that fill with pus when your immune system kicks in. NODULES Appear similar to papules but start deeper within the layers of your skin CYSTS Like nodules, cysts resemble deep, red lumps. But unlike nodules, cysts are filled with pus or other liquids.

Pigmentation refers to an uneven distribution of melanin in the skin, resulting in dark or light patches, spots, or areas. This condition can be caused by a range of factors, including genetics, sun exposure, hormonal changes, and skin inflammation or injury. Common types of pigmentation include melasma, age spots, freckles, and post- inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Can be cause by: Skin inflammation (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation) Use of certain drugs (such as minocycline, certain cancer chemotherapies, and birth control pills) Hormone system diseases such as Addison Disease. Hemochromatosis (iron overload) Sun exposure. Pregnancy (melasma, or mask of pregnancy) Trauma (physical and heat)

Freckles​ These develop after repeated exposure to sunlight. Heredity also influences freckling Melasma​ ​Sits deeper in the skin’s dermis. Appears on the face as larger brown patches with a non-distinct border. Often stimulated by hormones. The condition is made worse with UV exposure, some medications, pregnancy and stress. Solar Lentigines​ ​Also referred to as liver spots or sun spots, these are pigmented spots with a clearly defined edge. They may occur anywhere on the body and vary in colour from light brown to black. These spots are caused by UV sun exposure and the degree depends on how much UV light these melanin pigments are exposed to. These must be monitored as they may develop into skin cancer and melanoma. Post Inflammatory Hyper-pigmentation​ ​This is a response to injury of the skin and can be the result of acne, burns, friction or aggressive clinical treatments such as chemical peels, dermabrasion, laser and IPL. This condition often resolves with time and generally responds to topical products, although it can recur.
