iThe TCM view
Healthy skin in TCM is moist and radiant, reflecting good nourishment.
The hydrating steps focus on restoring moisture after exfoliation.

Is it right for you
Who it’s for
People who want smooth, bright skin and a flawless makeup base: dull or dry skin, or vellus hair ("peach fuzz") that catches makeup. It's a common pre-event facial.
Two ways to see it
How it works
iiThe modern view
A sterile surgical blade is held at a shallow angle and drawn across the skin in short strokes.
This lifts the top layer of dead cells and the fine vellus hair. With that layer gone, the hydrating serums and mask that follow can absorb more easily.
Your visit
60 minWhat a session feels like
- 1Cleanse and dry the skin.
- 2Dermaplaning: short, light strokes that most people find comfortable, a little like gentle scraping.
- 3Hydrating serum and mask.
- 4Moisturiser and SPF.
Aftercare
Use SPF daily, as fresh skin is more sun-sensitive. Skip exfoliants and retinoids for 2–3 days. Planning cosmetic injections? Please wait at least 24 hours after this facial.
How many sessions people typically book
Results are immediate. Dead skin and fine hair return naturally, so people who love it often rebook every 4–6 weeks.

Still unsure? Call 778-654-6693 or message us on WhatsApp. We reply the same day during opening hours.
Will my facial hair grow back thicker or darker?
No. Dermaplaning removes vellus hair at the surface and doesn't change its thickness, colour or growth rate.
Does dermaplaning hurt?
Most people find it comfortable. It feels like light scraping.
Is it good before an event?
Yes. There's no downtime, and makeup goes on smoothly afterwards.
Can I have it with acne?
Not over active breakouts. Mehri can suggest a better option for your skin.
How often can I repeat it?
Every 4–6 weeks is common.
