***News*** Dermaplaning has come to Tough as Nails and we are a fully trained and insured to carry out this fabulous new facial treatment!
So, what is Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is simply a facial treatment that improves skin health and appearance. Although it sounds similar to (micro) dermabrasion, dermaplaning is a completely different procedure—one that’s much easier on your skin. In fact, you can probably apply make-up to your skin more or less immediately, although your skin will be so glowing you may not want to!
There are practically no downsides to a dermaplaning treatment
Dermaplaning is safe even for the most sensitive skins, It doesn’t hurt, and unlike other treatments, such as microdermabrasion and peels, there is no downtime, no need to avoid the sun, wait to put on makeup, or worry about whether your skin will react before a big event. You can have a dermaplane facial over lunch and colleagues will notice nothing but a glowing, fabulous complexion! Dermaplaning is also safe for pregnant women and nursing mothers, as it does not use chemicals that can be absorbed into the bloodstream and transferred to a growing baby.

The Myths!
Dermaplaning doesn’t cause your hair to return thicker or darker….cutting a hair simply can’t affect the root structure or colour, or we’d all get thicker hair every time we visit the hairdresser! As your hair regrows, you may temporarily feel a few stubbly bits as it breaks the surface with re-growth, but this will return to soft, fine hair as soon as a little length appears…that is if you haven’t already got hooked on dermaplaning
