Dermaplaning
Dermaplaning is a non-invasive skincare treatment designed to exfoliate the skin and remove fine vellus hair, often called “peach fuzz.” This procedure involves a skilled aesthetician gently gliding a sterile, surgical-grade scalpel across the skin’s surface, effectively scraping away dead skin cells and hair. Dermaplaning can be applied to various face areas, targeting dullness, dry patches, and uneven skin texture. Suitable for most skin types, it is particularly beneficial for individuals seeking a brighter, smoother complexion without using chemicals or abrasive treatments. Results can be observed immediately after the session, revealing a more radiant and smooth skin surface. The effects of dermaplaning typically last up to four weeks, with regular treatments recommended to maintain optimal skin health and appearance.

Pre And Post Care
DERMAPLANING
In Dermaplaning, dead skin cells and fine facial hair are removed without damaging the skin. This procedure leaves the skin smoother and more radiant. The process involves gently scraping off the top layer of skin with a sterile surgical scalpel, revealing fresh, healthy skin underneath. The procedure is available for all variations of skin types, eliminating hyperpigmentation, acne scars, and fine lines, making it a popular choice for facial rejuvenation.
Results from dermaplaning are immediate, leaving the skin softer, brighter, and more receptive to skincare products. Schedule regular treatments every four to six weeks to maintain optimal results.
