Unlock Radiant Skin with Combined Dermaplaning and Chemical Milk Peel Treatments

In our never ending quest for flawless skin, combining skincare treatments can often yield exceptional results. One such duo that has quite a following for some time is the combination of dermaplaning and a chemical milk peel. These two treatments work synergistically to exfoliate, rejuvenate, and illuminate your complexion. Here's why this combination might be the perfect solution for achieving your skincare goals with minimal downtime.


What is Dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning is a manual exfoliation technique that involves using a sterile surgical scalpel to gently remove the top layer of dead skin cells and fine vellus hair (commonly known as peach fuzz) from the face. This process reveals a smoother, brighter skin surface and allows for better absorption of skincare products. Dermaplaning is suitable for most skin types and can improve the appearance of fine lines, acne scars, and hyperpigmentation.


What is a Chemical Milk Peel?

A chemical milk peel is a mild yet effective exfoliating treatment that utilizes lactic acid, derived from milk, to gently exfoliate the skin. Lactic acid is an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) known for its hydrating and brightening properties. This peel helps to improve skin texture, reduce the appearance of fine lines, and promote a more even skin tone. It is suitable for sensitive skin due to its gentle nature.


The benefits of a combined treatment

  • Enhanced Exfoliation: Dermaplaning removes the top layer of dead skin cells, creating an ideal canvas for the chemical milk peel. This allows the lactic acid to penetrate more effectively, resulting in a deeper exfoliation and enhanced overall results.

  • Smoother Skin Texture: The combination of physical and chemical exfoliation leads to an ultra-smooth skin texture. Dermaplaning eliminates surface imperfections, while the milk peel refines the skin’s texture from within.

  • Brighter Complexion: Both treatments work to promote cell turnover and reduce hyperpigmentation. The result is a more radiant, even-toned complexion that glows from within.

  • Improved Product Absorption: After dermaplaning, the skin is primed to absorb skincare products more effectively. This means that any serums or treatments applied post-procedure will penetrate deeper and work more efficiently.

  • Minimal Downtime: Both dermaplaning and chemical milk peels are gentle treatments with minimal downtime. You may experience some redness immediately after the procedure, but this typically subsides quickly, allowing you to resume your normal activities.


What to Expect During the Treatment

During your combined dermaplaning and chemical milk peel treatment, Lisa will first perform the dermaplaning procedure, carefully removing dead skin cells and peach fuzz. Following this, the chemical milk peel will be applied to your freshly exfoliated skin. You may feel a mild tingling sensation as the lactic acid works its magic, but this is generally well-tolerated.
