What Is Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is a non-invasive cosmetic treatment that creates smoother skin by gently removing the top layer (or epidermis). A dermaplaning facial involves the use of a special, ultrafine blade to exfoliate the skin gently. This process removes vellus hair (“peach fuzz”) and dead skin cells, creating a clean canvas for further facial treatments that’s completely free of debris or potential pore blockages. This is why this treatment is often used to prep skin for other procedures, such as facials and chemical peels.Benefits of Treatment
