LOCATION
I am located at 40 North Ave, in Webster NY. I am in The Beauty Loft, which is the same building as Joe's Upscale Barbershop and Reflections Salon. The entrance is on the side of the building, near the Waffle Factory. The door has signs for both "Joe's Upscale Barbering & Beauty Loft" and Green Tea Esthetics. When you open the door, take the stairs, and The Beauty Loft is on the right side. You'll see the salon chairs and waiting area. If my spa room is open you can come on in. If my door is closed you can have a seat in the waiting area.

DERMaplaning faq
What are contraindications for dermaplaning?
You are not a candidate for a dermaplane treatment if:
- You used Acutane in the last year
- You received botox in the in the last week
- You are a diabetic
- You have a viral infection
- You are on a blood thinner (Ex. Aspirin)
- You are prone to keloids or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation
- You have a sunburn or windburn
- You have Grade 3 Acne or above
- You are undergoing treatment for cancer
- You are using retinol/Retin-A (stop at least a week before your dermaplane)
Once the vellus hair is removed will it grow back thicker?
No, this is physiologically impossible. The soft, fine vellus hair will grow back slowly – usually in about 4 weeks.
(There are two types of hair that grow on our bodies: Vellus hair is the thin, fine, soft hair that typically covers the entire body. Terminal hair is the course hair that grows on the head, face in men, underarms, legs and pubic areas.)
Dermaplaning, waxing, tweezing or any other depilatory form of hair removal cannot alter the type of hair grown in any given area.
How often can I get dermaplaned?
Every 3-4 weeks
Is there any downtime afterwards?
No, that’s one of the benefits. The skin instantly has a healthier glow and feels amazingly soft, plus makeup glides on effortlessly for a flawless finish. This is a must have procedure before an important social event or television appearance.
Can men get dermaplaned?
Yes they can, but only non-bearded areas can be dermaplaned.
How do I take care of my skin after dermaplaning?
- Avoid sun exposure as much as possible
- Hydrate more often than normal
- Do not use retinol one week pre and post dermaplaning
- Makeup can be irritating right after dermaplaning
- Use a gentle cleanser. Don't use abrasive cleanser, Clarisonic, or hot shower water for 48 hours afterwards
- Do not use cleansers, serums, or spot treatments containing retinol, salicylic acid, or benzoyl peroxide for 5 days following treatment
- No exfoliating products for a few days
- Avoid excessive heat (steamy showers, sauna) for 24-48 hours afterwards
