Why dermaplaning at Kozmetika feels different benefits for texture peach fuzz and product absorption
Our signature touch is all about precision and comfort-think meticulous skin mapping, a gentle enzyme pre-soften, and sterile, single-use blades handled with featherlight strokes. This combo refines uneven patches without tugging, so you feel polished, not over-exfoliated. By lifting dull surface cells with care, we reveal a velvety finish and that soft-focus glow you can see and feel. We seal it with barrier-loving hydration and SPF, so you leave soothed, smooth, and camera-ready.
- Instantly refined texture with a silky glide you notice the moment you touch your skin
- Makeup sits flawlessly-no cling to dry spots, no patchiness
- Lit-from-within radiance without downtime or redness
- Comfort-first technique designed for even sensitive or combination skin
Bye, peach fuzz-hello, cloud-soft skin. Removing vellus hair enhances clarity and boosts that soft-focus finish, while the ultra-smooth canvas helps serums spread evenly and sink in more efficiently. Because we pair the treatment with barrier-friendly actives (never heavy occlusives right after), your skincare isn’t wasted sitting on top-it works smarter. And no, the hair doesn’t grow back darker or thicker; it returns just as fine as before.
- A true blur effect as fine hairs lift away for a brighter, cleaner look
- Better product absorption so actives like vitamin C and peptides perform at their best
- No pilling-lightweight layers glide on and stay even
- Longer wear for complexion products with less texture showing through
What to expect in your visit consultation safety checks customized blade passes and instant glow
Settle in and breathe-your esthetician will start with a friendly skin chat to learn about your goals, current routine, sensitivities, and timeline. We’ll perform essential safety steps before anything touches your skin: a quick visual assessment, a review of recent treatments or actives, and strict tool prep with a fresh, single-use blade and hospital-grade sanitation. After a gentle cleanse and degrease, we map areas of focus and any spots to avoid, so every stroke is intentional and your complexion is treated with precision.
- Consultation: goals, texture concerns, and lifestyle habits
- Skin check: sensitivities, breakouts, or healing areas
- Protocol prep: sterile tools, fresh gloves, clean surface
- Pre-care cleanse: remove oil and residue for smooth glide
Then comes the artistry: customized blade passes designed for your skin’s unique landscape. Expect feather-light, controlled strokes that follow the direction of hair growth, with fewer passes on delicate zones and more on areas that can benefit from extra polishing. You’ll feel a soft brush-like sensation-no tugging, just whisper-light refinement. We finish with a cocoon of hydrating and soothing care-think hyaluronic layers, barrier-loving botanicals, and broad-spectrum SPF-so you leave with that fresh, instant glow and makeup-ready smoothness.
- Post-care perks: enhanced product absorption and a velvety finish
- Aftercare: hydrate generously, skip strong actives for 48-72 hours, wear SPF daily
- Rhythm: ideal maintenance every 4-6 weeks for consistent brightness
Prep and aftercare made easy gentle cleanse skip retinoids and scrubs wear broad spectrum sunscreen and book monthly maintenance
For your smoothest, glowiest result at Kozmetika, keep your skin calm and uncomplicated before your appointment. Think gentle, hydrating steps and a short break from anything that could over‑stimulate your skin. Arrive with clean, makeup‑free skin and let us handle the rest.
- Cleanse softly: use a mild, non‑foaming or creamy cleanser the night before and morning of your visit.
- Pause actives: stop retinoids, AHAs/BHAs, benzoyl peroxide, and exfoliating scrubs for 3-5 days pre‑service.
- Avoid irritation: no waxing, threading, or laser on the treatment area for at least 7 days.
- Keep it simple: skip self‑tanner and heavy fragrances; moisturize and hydrate as usual.
After your glow-up, treat your fresh canvas with TLC to lock in radiance and keep your barrier happy. The golden rules: be gentle, stay moisturized, and make sun protection non‑negotiable-then plan a regular rhythm to keep results consistent.
- Gentle cleanse only: use a soothing cleanser; avoid hot water and cleansing devices for 24-48 hours.
- Skip actives: hold off on retinoids, acids, and exfoliating scrubs for 48-72 hours.
- Shield daily: wear a broad‑spectrum sunscreen SPF 30+ and reapply every 2 hours when outdoors.
- Hydrate + calm: layer a ceramide or hyaluronic serum and a nourishing moisturizer; avoid saunas and intense workouts for 24 hours.
- Book your rhythm: schedule monthly maintenance (every 4-6 weeks) to keep your complexion smooth and makeup‑ready.
Who should and should not get dermaplaning contraindications and kinder alternatives we offer
This treatment shines for clients seeking instant luminosity and fuzz-free makeup glide, especially those with normal to dry, resilient skin and mild congestion. It can be a beautiful refresh before photos or events, and it’s a smart choice if you prefer a no-acid, no-downtime polish. That said, skin safety comes first. Please postpone or choose another service if you’re experiencing the following:
- Active acne (papules, pustules, or cysts) or frequent breakouts
- Recent use of isotretinoin (Accutane) within the past 6-12 months
- Fresh sunburn, open cuts, or active skin infections (including cold sores)
- Inflamed eczema, psoriasis, seborrheic dermatitis, or a rosacea flare
- Recent chemical peels, microneedling, or laser (allow adequate healing time)
- Topical retinoids or strong exfoliants used in the last few days
- Bleeding disorders, blood thinners, uncontrolled diabetes, or a history of keloid scarring
- Recent injectables (Botox/fillers) within 1-2 weeks

- Ultrasonic Skin Scrubber for whisper-soft exfoliation and refined pores
