Dermaplaning

Service Description

Dermaplaning is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that removes the top layer of dead skin cells and vellus hair (peach fuzz) from the face. It is done using a sterile surgical blade that is gently scraped across the skin at a 45-degree angle. Dermaplaning exfoliates the skin and is less invasive than dermabrasion. If you have delicate skin or a darker skin tone, you may be more at risk of scarring from dermabrasion and dermaplaning may be a better option. Benefits - Brighter, more youthful skin tone.
