DERMAPLANING
"Dermaplaning: the art of exfoliation that unveils your skin's true glow, revealing a canvas that's smooth, soft, and radiant."
What is Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is a popular exfoliation treatment that involves using a specialized surgical scalpel, specifically a 10R blade, to gently remove dead skin cells and fine vellus hair (often referred to as “peach fuzz”) from the surface of the skin. This non-invasive procedure helps to reveal smoother, brighter skin and enhances the effectiveness of skincare products.
How Does Dermaplaning Work?
During the treatment, a 10R blade is held at a precise angle and carefully glides over the skin's surface. The process gently exfoliates the top layer of dead skin, allowing for improved skin texture and a more radiant complexion. Dermaplaning is suitable for all skin types (except for active acne patients) and can be performed on the face and neck.
