SKIN Vision

In my book Meno-Esthetics, I talk about unwanted hair that tends to appear more frequently during the menopausal transition. I like to call them “witch hairs”… lol! A nuisance we could definitely do without.
The main culprits? Hormonal fluctuations.
The decline in estrogen and progesterone, combined with a higher presence of androgens and testosterone, can stimulate the growth of darker, thicker, and coarser hair in certain areas, particularly on the face (chin, upper lip, cheeks, corners of the mouth) and on the body (abdomen, chest, back, around the areolas).
There are good ways to get rid of these unwanted hairs. Laser treatments and electrolysis (especially when the hair is white) are options that can provide permanent or long-term results.
Of course, other methods such as waxing, sugaring, and tweezing can do the job, but they are not permanent solutions.

Dans mon livre La Méno-Esthétique, je parle des poils superflus qui apparaissent de plus en plus durant la période ménopausale. Je les appelle les « poils de sorcière »… lol ! Une nuisance dont on se passerait bien.
Les coupables ? Les fluctuations hormonales !
La baisse d’œstrogènes et de progestérone, combinée à une présence plus élevée d’androgènes et de testostérone, peut stimuler la pousse de poils plus foncés, plus épais et plus drus dans certaines zones, notamment sur le visage (menton, lèvre supérieure, joues, commissures des lèvres) et sur le corps (abdomen, poitrine, dos, autour des aréoles).
Il existe de bons moyens de se débarrasser de ces poils indésirables. Les traitements au laser et l’électrolyse (surtout lorsque le poil est blanc) sont des solutions permettant d’obtenir des résultats permanents ou à long terme.
Bien entendu, les autres méthodes telles que l’épilation à la cire, au sucre, la pince à épiler, etc., font l’affaire, mais elles ne constituent pas des solutions permanentes.

I think my rasberries need a Dermaplaning treatment… lol!
What is Dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning is a professional skincare treatment that gently exfoliates the skin using a specialized facial blade. It removes dead skin cells from the surface of the skin as well as the very fine facial hair known as vellus hair (peach fuzz).

Benefits of Dermaplaning

Instantly smoother, brighter skin
More even skin tone
Better absorption of skincare products
Flawless makeup application
Helps keep pores clearer on the surface

Important to know about facial hair
The hair removed during dermaplaning does NOT grow back thicker, darker, or coarser. Vellus hair is soft and fine and is very different from terminal hair (like eyebrows or leg hair). The regrowth is exactly the same as before.

Who can benefit from dermaplaning?
✔ Dull or rough skin
✔ Dry or dehydrated skin
✔ Makeup wearers
✔ Mature skin (great for restoring glow)
✔ Anyone wanting gentle exfoliation without chemicals

Not recommended for active inflammatory acne or open lesions.

The result: instantly smooth, radiant, healthy-looking skin.
