Vellus hair, commonly referred to as “peach fuzz,” is the fine, thin hair that covers most of the human body. These soft, translucent hairs typically develop during childhood and are present throughout life. Vellus hair is most noticeable on the face, particularly around the hairline, cheeks, and jawline, but it can also be found on other parts of the body.
While Vellus hair serves a functional purpose—helping to regulate body temperature by providing insulation and aiding in the cooling process through perspiration—it is completely normal for some individuals to seek its removal for cosmetic reasons. The presence of Vellus hair can sometimes interfere with the smooth application of makeup or give the skin a slightly uneven texture, prompting many to look for effective ways to manage or remove it.
Although Vellus hair is natural and harmless, some people choose to remove it for various reasons:
Smoother Skin Texture: Removing Vellus hair can result in smoother skin, which is particularly beneficial for those who wear makeup. Foundation and other products can glide on more evenly, creating a flawless finish.
Enhanced Skincare Penetration: Without the barrier of Vellus hair, skincare products can better penetrate the skin, making them more effective.
Improved Appearance: Some individuals prefer the aesthetic of hair-free skin, especially if their Vellus hair is more noticeable due to darker pigmentation or higher density.
At Skintec, we offer a safe and effective treatment for removing Vellus hair, helping you achieve smoother, clearer skin:
Dermaplaning: Dermaplaning is a non-invasive exfoliation treatment that gently removes Vellus hair along with dead skin cells from the surface of the skin. Using a sterile surgical blade, our skilled practitioners carefully exfoliate the top layer of the skin, leaving it smooth and hair-free. Dermaplaning not only eliminates peach fuzz but also enhances the overall texture and radiance of the skin, making it an ideal choice for those looking to improve the appearance of their complexion.
Dermaplaning offers several benefits beyond just hair removal:
Instant Results: You’ll notice an immediate improvement in the smoothness and brightness of your skin following the treatment.
Non-Invasive: Dermaplaning is a gentle procedure with no downtime, making it a convenient option for those with busy schedules.
Exfoliation: By removing dead skin cells, dermaplaning promotes cell turnover and helps to reveal fresher, healthier skin.
Safe for All Skin Types: This treatment is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin, and can be performed regularly to maintain results.
To maintain the results of your dermaplaning treatment and keep your skin looking its best, it’s important to follow a good skincare routine at home:
Hydration: After dermaplaning, your skin may be more sensitive, so it’s essential to keep it well-hydrated. Use a gentle, hydrating moisturiser to nourish and protect your skin.
Sun Protection: Your skin will be more sensitive to UV rays after treatment, so wearing a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 is crucial to prevent sun damage.
Avoid Harsh Products: In the days following dermaplaning, avoid using exfoliants, retinoids, or other harsh skincare products that could irritate your freshly exfoliated skin.
