Dermaplaning

Dermaplaning is a standard exfoliation skin treatment that diminishes dull skin cells and peach fuzz. It gently scrapes other pore-clogging debris from the surface of the skin. This results in a radiant, revived complexion. The procedure allows for maximum penetration of skincare products and produces a flawless canvas for makeup to glide on seamlessly. It’s a fantastic method to ensure the production of healthy skin cells and the purification of pores.

Treatment

Dermaplaning is a method of exfoliation that uses a ten gauge scalpel to gently scrape off the top layer of dulling skin cells to reveal a smoother, brighter complexion. We gently glide a sterile blade at a forty-five-degree angle across the targeted area in slow strokes during the procedure. It can be performed every three to four weeks or after the skin has completed the rejuvenation cycle. Dermaplaning safely scrapes off the top layer of skin, so it’s well suited for drier skin types and anyone who wants to reduce peach fuzz. If you have deep cystic acne, wait until breakouts are clear before trying this treatment. It has little to no downtime and is a quick, same-day procedure.
