DERMAPLANING OVERVIEW

Dermaplaning is a non-invasive exfoliation treatment that gently removes dead skin cells and fine vellus hair (commonly known as “peach fuzz”) from the skin's surface. This safe and effective procedure leaves your skin feeling incredibly smooth, soft, and radiant, making it a popular choice for anyone looking to enhance their natural glow.

How Does Dermaplaning Work?
During a dermaplaning treatment, our skilled aestheticians uses a sterile, surgical scalpel to gently exfoliate the outermost layer of dead skin and hair. This process encourages cell turnover and reveals the fresh, healthy skin beneath. The procedure is painless and suitable for most skin types

  • How It Works

    • How It Works

    This exfoliating treatment uses a surgical-grade blade to gently scrape away the top layers of dead skin cells and fine facial hair. By removing the outermost layers, dermaplaning reveals brighter, healthier skin and enhances the penetration of skincare products for maximum results.

    The process also prepares your skin for additional treatments like chemical peels, BBL photofacials, or microneedling, improving their effectiveness.

    Benefits of Dermaplaning

    • Exfoliates Dead Skin Cells: Improves skin texture and tone by removing dull, dead skin.
    • Removes Peach Fuzz: Eliminates fine facial hair for a smoother makeup application and softer skin.
    • Enhances Skincare Absorption: Allows serums and moisturizers to penetrate deeper into the skin, maximizing their effectiveness.
    • Provides Instant Results: Leaves your skin visibly brighter and smoother immediately after the treatment.
    • Non-Invasive with No Downtime: Dermaplaning is gentle enough to be performed regularly and requires no recovery time.

I was struggling immensely with my acne and she helped clear my skin through the treatment, educated me on lifestyle tips to support my skin’s health, and set me up with the appropriate products that my skin needs to flourish. She is well educated, welcoming, and will have you feeling like your best self again!"
