Your Calgary Choice for Medical Aesthetics!

Elanté Rejuvenation is pleased to provide a range of medical aesthetic services to meet all your aesthetic needs. In the simplest terms, medical aesthetics deals with treatments aimed at improving the cosmetic appearance of people. It is a broad term for specialties that focus on changing or correcting the cosmetic appearance through the treatment of conditions like scars, wrinkles, skin laxity, liver spots, pigmentation and/or sun damage, moles and skin rashes, acute acne, cellulite, excess fat, loss of collagen, unwanted hair, and spider veins. It lies between the regular beauty treatments provided at salons but is not as harsh and intrusive as cosmetic surgeries. At Elanté Rejuvenation, our experienced team of aestheticians can provide chemical peels, HydraFacials, microdermabrasion, and light Stem LED therapy.

Dermaplaning

Dermaplaning is a cosmetic treatment in which dead skin cells and peach fuzz are scraped off with a scalpel by a professional. While dermaplaning removes fine facial hairs, the procedure differs from shaving in terms of the tools used, the amount of skin removed, and the person performing the procedure.

Benefits of Dermaplaning

The benefits of dermaplaning depend on your skin type, tone, medical history, and the experience of the professional performing your dermaplaning.

The benefits of dermaplaning are cosmetic and may include:

Brighter, more youthful skin tone
Removing small hairs or peach fuzz
Reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
Smoother and softer skin
Ease hyperpigmentation.
Evening of skin tone
Removing bacteria and clearing pores to limit breakouts.

For maximum benefits of dermaplaning, seek out an appointment with a well-reviewed practitioner in your area.

FAQs

Dermaplaning vs. dermabrasion

Both dermaplaning and dermabrasion are skin procedures done to improve the overall appearance of your skin. While both may help reduce fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven skin tone, some differences exist.

In dermabrasion, your skin goes through an abrasion or sanding of skin, as its name implies. It’s often used for more prominent skin concerns such as acne and pox scars, skin growths, stretch marks, or removing tattoos. Dermaplaning is less invasive and often used to remove fine facial hairs. If you have delicate skin or a darker skin tone, you may be more at risk of scarring from dermabrasion and dermaplaning may be a better option.

Dermaplaning vs. shaving

Dermaplaning and shaving can both be used to remove unwanted hair growth. If removing hair is your singular concern, shaving is an option. But shaving only cuts hair at the skin level and should not remove any layers of skin. If you’re hoping to improve the overall appearance of your skin, dermaplaning will also exfoliate your skin, removing dead skin cells.

Dermaplaning Side Effects:

Most people have little to no irritation or reaction. Short-term side effects may include:

Red and swollen skin from the scraping
Soreness
A burning or tingling sensation for about 48 hours after the procedure

It’s a myth that your hair will grow back thicker or darker after dermaplaning. While hair that grows back may feel courser at first, it will get softer over time.

Is there anyone who should not do dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning isn’t recommended if you have inflammatory skin conditions such as:

Acne
Rosacea
Psoriasis
Eczema
Sunburn

If you’re taking Accutane, isotretinoin, a prescription medication used to treat severe acne, you should wait 6 months after you stop taking it to try dermaplaning.

Why do I break out after dermaplaning?

Everyone’s results will vary depending on your skin type. If done with incorrect techniques or tools, you may experience side effects like a breakout. You may want to avoid dermaplaning if you currently have acne or are in the middle of a breakout. Bacteria from a current breakout can spread to other areas of the skin, making it worse. It’s best to avoid dermaplaning until your skin clears up.

When done correctly, dermaplaning may help reduce future breakouts by removing the buildup of dead skin cells.

Where Can You Get the Dermaplaning Procedure Done?

It’s best to go to a licensed aesthetician or certified professional if you’re thinking about trying dermaplaning.

Chemical Peels

Peel away imperfections and concerns. AlumierMD chemical peels are medical grade peels, each with a unique complex of ingredients that can be customized for you and your specific skin concerns. They are used to improve skin tone and texture through the use of applied acid that intentionally damages the epidermis and/or dermis of the skin, with the aim of stimulating new tissue to help improve skin texture and tone. Chemical peels can be superficial, medium, or deep, depending on how deep they penetrate. The strength of the peel is determined by the ingredients used, their concentration and the pH of the formulation. They work to resurface and improve overall skin tone, improve texture, treat fine lines and inflamed acne, reduce brown spots, brighten skin, and reduce wrinkles.

FAQs

What happens after an alumier peel?

Alumier MD skin treatments result in minimal to no downtime but create dramatic and visible results. Treatments can cause slight redness, tightness, peeling, flaking or temporary dryness. Most patients do not find it necessary to apply makeup, as the skin with be smooth, dewy and radiant following your treatment.

Q: What are the side effects of alumier glow peel?

The main side effects are usually tenderness and increased sensitivity to the sun. If you have sensitive skin, you may experience residual redness, which can last 1 to 12 hours, or you might have light to moderate flaking in a few localized areas for 3 to 7 days.

Can you see results after 1 peel?

It usually takes several treatment sessions to see the desired outcomes. Most people notice some improvement after their first chemical peel, but with multiple treatments over the span of several months, patients will be astonished by how much better their skin looks.

How long does it take to recover from alumier glow peel?

Usually 3-5 days after the treatment, fresh new skin will develop after the peeling has run its course. Your new skin may feel tight and warm or may look somewhat red immediately after a treatment. Recovery time varies slightly, and skin might be temporarily lighter or darker than normal, depending on the patient.

Who should avoid chemical peels?

Who should avoid getting a chemical peel? Peels are not recommended for anyone who is pregnant or nursing, has inflamed acne or sunburn or is taking Accutane. People who use retinoids can get a chemical peel but must stop using the product three to four days before treatment.

What happens if you wear makeup after chemical peel?

It needs some time to heal after your procedure. Also, new skin revealed by the peel is susceptible to irritation, and makeup could clog your pores. Note, if you do choose to wear makeup after your peel, you may find it flakes or peels off because your topmost layer of skin is peeling away.
