Dermaplanning - Exclusive treatment in Singapore

"Dr. Stafford R. Broumand, a plastic surgeon whose Manhattan practice includes spa services, said that facials including dermaplaning, which cost $185, increased threefold in 2014 over the previous year. He said that the procedure is advocated for its efficacy in exfoliation (scraping away dead skin cells, pollution and small imperfections) rather than for hair removal."


So what exactly is Dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning is a skin procedure that involves using a sharp tool to exfoliate the surface of your skin, while also removing small, fine hairs. Basically, an esthetician or dermatologist will take a small scalpel and very gently scrape the surface of your skin using light, feathering strokes

So what exactly does lightly scraping your skin with a scalpel accomplish?

A lot, apparently. Dermaplaning’s purpose is to give your skin an immediate exfoliation for a luminous glow, allowing the skin to look more radiant. The benefits are dewy skin, faster cell turnover, and a smoother texture. Doctors in the US usually recommend dermaplaning to anyone who is about to undergo a Q-switch laser treatment or chemical peel. This allows the products or laser energy to penetrate more deeply into the skin. Plus, the light “shaving” motion gets rid of light facial hairs while it exfoliates.

Who is suitable for this treatment?Anyone who has unwanted facial hair and anyone who wants exfoliation can benefit. This procedure is especially good for anyone who has sensitive skin or is unable to use certain products or exfoliation treatments such as those who are pregnant. It’s an alternative way to lightly resurface the skin.

Is it painful?Dermaplaning is absolutely painless.

So there you have it, treatments from Hollywood. Try it to believe it.

Adult Acne Permanent Cure

More updates with regards to how Adult Acne is treated. Pictures on 10th September 2015. Acne is more stable. Reduction in post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation or acne marks.
 





PIH is primarily causaed by 2 main causes. The first is caused after the basal cell layer in the inflamed skin is destroyed leading to the accumulation of melanopahges containing a large amount of melanin in the upper dermins. The second is caused by an epidermal inflammatory response, leading to an accumulation of chemical mediators that stimulate the syntheses of melanin in the melanocytes that then transfer this pigment to the surrounding cells.

Q-switch laser is used in the treatment of her PIH. We have devised a fixed protocol using this laser to remove PIH without causing any complications. There was no rebound hyperpigmentation and no areas of hypopigmentation.

The next series of update will be the last set of pictures to conclude this series of adult acne treatment using AGNES and Q-switch laser.
