Enhance your facial treatment, chemical peel or enzyme retexturing treatment with dermaplaning!
Dermaplaning is a gentle yet highly effective safe exfoliation procedure that smooths, exfoliates & removes Vellus hair (peach fuzz). It uses a sterile surgical scalpel, moving along the surface of the skin which removes 2-3 layers of dead skin and vellus hairs. The skin instantly has a healthy glow with a soft, smooth texture! The procedure reduces the appearance of acne scarring, fine lines, wrinkles, and assists in deeper product penetration. Dermaplaning can prime skin for other professional services such as chemical peels and facials.
As we age, skin cells don’t slough off on their own as quickly. Dermaplaning helps to remove the outer layer of dead skin cells promoting faster cell turnover. This results in instantly brighter, smoother, and healthier skin. In addition to a dewier and more radiant complexion, regular Dermaplaning can also reduce the appearance of fine lines, enlarged pores and uneven texture of the skin.

Treatment Duration
30 minutes
The process of Dermaplaning is quick and easy.
After dermaplaning, the skin may feel slightly sensitive for the first 24-48 hours. The new skin will be more sensitive, it is very important to minimize sun exposure and use a SPF 30+.
There is no need to worry about the hair on your face getting any darker. Since dermaplaning only targets the vellus hair (peach fuzz) the hair will grow back the same size and color.
