What it does

Where it lands

Dead skin cells and fine hairs are removed with a surgical blade, at an angle of 45 degrees. No acids are involved, which means it is also possible on sensitive, dry or allergic skin and during pregnancy. It is painless and the result is visible straight away.

The proportions are schematic; the depths beside them are not. Usual values for facial skin. The thickness differs per place on the body; on the back the dermis is a multiple of this. How deep we work in your case depends on the setting the therapist chooses.

What happens

Acts on

The stratum corneum

The treatment works on the outer layer of dead skin cells; the deeper layers are not treated in the same way.

EpidermisWhere your pigment sits and where new skin cells come from.Does not reach here
Upper dermisThis is where the connective tissue starts. What you reach here heals by building.Does not reach here
Deep dermisHair roots, vessels and the firmness of your skin. Working this deep needs a reason.Does not reach here

In the appointment

Every treatment starts with cleansing, and that is done by hand. Make-up and sebum come off and the therapist checks that everything is gone, because a device or an active ingredient that works on a layer never reaches your skin.

How it feels

What you notice in the chair

Your skin is pulled taut and the blade passes over it at a fixed angle, in short strokes. The sound is the oddest part: a soft scraping you feel in your jaw more than on your skin. It does not hurt.

Just afterwards your face is strikingly smooth and takes up cream more easily. The fine hairs come back as they were, so anyone who likes it comes back roughly monthly.
