There can be some discomfort during the procedure, particularly in sensitive areas such as the bikini line and underarms. However, patients can elect to have topical anesthetic cream applied before treatment. Most patients do not require anesthetic cream.

You might start to see some shedding within days of your first treatment session. Due to the growth cycle of hair, patients require a series of appointments to achieve a full outcome. Those results will become evident within a few days after your last session. Stubble, representing dead hair being shed from the hair follicle, will appear within 5-30 days from the treatment date. that is normal & they will fall out quickly.

Once the results are achieved, the hair reduction is long-lasting and even permanent for some patients. Others may find that a touch-up session every year or two will keep them silky smooth.

Conditions are different for everyone, therefore how many sessions you require will depend on the amount of hair, hair color, your genetic background and how closely you follow the schedule set by your technician. Most clients at Alfa Spa requires 5 to 6 sessions, and annual touch-ups.

• It is imperative that you avoid sun exposure and tanning beds for at least 4 weeks prior to your treatment. This is a must and no exceptions will be made.
• Tanning creams (self-tanner) should be avoided for at least 2 weeks.
• Do not tweeze, wax or epilate the area being treated for approximately 6 weeks prior to treatment.
• The night before treatment thoroughly shave all areas to be treated; skin must be clean and free of all hair.

• No other epilation technique to remove hair on the area that was treated. By doing so, you may lead to potential stimulation of the hair follicle, in other words, you could potentially spark regrowth.
• Avoid direct sunlight at least 2 weeks after the treatment. Using a broad spectrum UVA/UVB SPF 30 or higher is critical when receiving laser treatments and 
is recommended ongoing for maintenance.
• Right after your treatment, redness & bumps at the treatment area are common; these may last up to 2 hours to 1 week longer. It is normal for the treated area to feel like a sunburn for a few hours. Some skin smoothening like Aloe vera application could be ease discomfort of treated area.
• Avoid applying deodorants, makeup, moisturizers and lotions that contain artificial fragrance at least 48 hours to avoid trigger irritation.
• Try to avoid  excessive exercise, the gym or the sauna for 24-48 hours because that cause excessive sweeting which leads to irritation on the treated area.

The ideal candidate for Dermaplaning has aging, dry, rough, or  uneven skin tone. Dermaplaning can also help reduce the appearance of shallow acne scars, fine lines and superficial hyperpigmentation.

Vellus hair is found on most areas of the body except palms, soles, lips and genital areas, whereas terminal hairs are found on the scalp, underarms and pubic region. The soft and fine vellus hair grows back at the same rate and texture.

Dermaplaning can be performed every 3-4 weeks.

Both options are a form of physical exfoliation. Dermaplaning removes vellus hair (peach fuzz) and dead skin cells from the skin, microdermabrasion also exfoliates the surface of the skin, but not as thoroughly or deeply as dermaplaning does.
