Dermaplaning
An exfoliating treatment that removes dead skin cells and fine facial hair using a specialized blade.
What is Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is a manual exfoliation treatment where your practitioner uses a specialized surgical blade to gently scrape away the outermost layer of dead skin cells and fine, vellus facial hair (sometimes called 'peach fuzz'). This immediately reveals smoother, brighter skin underneath and creates a smooth canvas that allows skincare products to penetrate more effectively. The treatment is completely painless, involves no downtime, and typically takes about thirty minutes.
Why is this procedure performed?
- Dull or rough skin texture
- Visible fine facial hair
- A desire for smoother makeup application
- Preparing skin for better product absorption
- A gentle, immediate skin refresh with no downtime
How does this procedure help?
Dermaplaning leaves skin immediately smoother and brighter, with many patients noting how much better makeup applies afterward due to the smooth, hair-free surface created. Because there's no downtime or discomfort, it's an easy treatment to fit into your schedule, including right before a special event. Many patients enjoy this treatment monthly as part of their ongoing skincare routine.
