Stampede Recovery Facial
Rejuvenate After the Rodeo: The Benefits of SkinScience’s Stampede Recovery Facial with Dermaplaning
For Calgarians, our legendary Stampede is a thrilling celebration of western culture, music, and outdoor adventure—but all that excitement can take a toll on your skin. Between long days in the sun, dust from the fairgrounds, and late nights out, your complexion might be crying out for a little TLC. That’s where SkinScience’s Stampede Recovery Facial comes in.
Designed as the ultimate skin reset, this post-Stampede treatment combines three powerhouse techniques—dermaplaning, extractions, and an enzyme peel—to restore glow, smoothness, and clarity. A dermaplaning session involves the use of a sterile exfoliating blade to gently remove buildup and peach fuzz from the skin, providing a professional level of exfoliation and hair removal. Here’s how each element works and why this facial is your skin’s best partner in recovery.
Pre-Treatment Preparation: Get Ready for Radiance
Before you experience the rejuvenating effects of a dermaplaning procedure, a little preparation goes a long way toward achieving healthier skin. Start by limiting sun exposure in the days leading up to your treatment and wear protective clothing to shield your skin from UV rays. This helps prevent irritation and ensures your skin is in the best possible condition for exfoliation. Incorporate a double cleansing routine to thoroughly remove dead skin cells, makeup, and impurities, allowing the dermaplaning process to more effectively remove dead skin and reveal fresh, glowing skin cells beneath.
It’s also important to pause the use of harsh skincare products that could increase your skin’s sensitivity. If you have a history of severe acne or other skin conditions, we can discuss your medical history to ensure dermaplaning is right for your skin type. By taking these simple steps, you’ll minimize risk and set the stage for a treatment that leaves your skin looking and feeling its best.

STEP 1
Dermaplaning: Sweep Away the Dust and Dullness
Dermaplaning is a gentle, painless exfoliation method that removes dead skin cells and fine vellus hair (a.k.a. peach fuzz) using a sterile surgical blade. This treatment is performed on the entire face and specifically targets the top layers of the skin. After days of makeup, sunscreen, and environmental exposure, this step clears away buildup, including dead cells, leaving your skin incredibly smooth and primed for deeper treatments.
Some people may experience a tingling sensation or slight redness immediately after the treatment, but these effects are temporary.
Benefits:
- Instantly softer, brighter skin
- Better product absorption
- Smoother makeup application
- Reduction in the appearance of fine lines
- Can help reduce fine lines
Dermaplaning does not cause hair to grow back thicker or darker, so concerns about hair growth after treatment are unfounded.
STEP 2
Extractions: Clear the Congestion
Outdoor events like the Stampede can lead to clogged pores, especially if you’ve been sweating, wearing hats, or applying layers of SPF. This facial includes professional extractions to safely remove blackheads and impurities without damaging the skin.
Benefits:
- Clearer, healthier pores
- Reduced breakouts
- Decreased inflammation
- Smoother texture
STEP 3
Enzyme Peel: Glow from Within
Unlike harsh chemical peels, an enzyme peel uses fruit-based enzymes to gently dissolve dead skin and reveal a more radiant complexion. This non-irritating step is ideal for all skin types, especially post-Stampede when skin may be more sensitive.
Benefits:
- Boosted cell turnover
- Evened skin tone
- Revitalized glow
- Calming and soothing effects
Benefits for All Skin Types
One of the standout features of dermaplaning is its versatility—it’s suitable for a wide range of skin types and concerns. Whether you’re dealing with dry skin, uneven skin tone, acne scars, or simply want to improve your skin texture, the exfoliating action of dermaplaning can help. By removing the top layer of dead skin cells, this treatment smooths the skin, reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and allows skincare products to penetrate more deeply for enhanced results.
For those with dry skin, dermaplaning can make your complexion feel softer and more hydrated, while individuals with acne scars or uneven skin tone will notice a more even, radiant finish. Dermaplaning can also be paired with other treatments, such as enzymatic peels or salicylic acid, to further target specific concerns and maximize benefits. No matter your skin type, regular dermaplaning treatments can help you achieve a smoother, brighter, and more youthful-looking complexion.
Post-Treatment Care: Keep the Glow Going
After your dermaplaning procedure, a thoughtful post-treatment routine is key to maintaining your new glow and minimizing any risks. Protect your skin by avoiding excessive sun exposure and wearing protective clothing whenever you’re outdoors. Stick to gentle skincare products that won’t irritate the treated area, and consider applying a soothing gel to reduce redness and calm the skin.
It’s also important to keep the treated area clean and avoid touching your face unnecessarily to prevent the spread of bacteria and reduce the risk of scarring or infection. Skip strenuous activities that might cause sweating for the first day or two, as this can irritate freshly exfoliated skin. By following these simple steps, you’ll enjoy the full benefits of your treatment—smoother, more radiant skin with minimal redness or discomfort.
Home Care and Maintenance: Your Stampede Comeback Routine
To keep your skin looking its best between professional treatments, establish a consistent home care routine focused on skin health. Use gentle skincare products and avoid harsh exfoliants that could irritate your skin. Protect your complexion from sun damage by applying SPF daily and wearing protective clothing when outdoors. Regular dermaplaning treatments from SkinScience—ideally every 4-6 weeks—can help maintain your results and address ongoing concerns like fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven skin tone.
Incorporate products with ingredients such as lactic acid, beta hydroxy acid, or salicylic acid to help remove dead skin cells and promote healthy skin cell turnover. Double cleansing at night ensures you’re removing dead skin cells and impurities, while wearing gloves during application can help prevent the spread of bacteria. By combining these at-home steps with regular professional treatments, you’ll enjoy healthier skin, a smoother texture, and a radiant, youthful glow all year long.
