about dermaplaning
Call for Pricing
​
Dermaplaning is a specialized, minimally invasive cosmetic procedure designed to enhance the appearance and texture of your skin. By carefully exfoliating the outermost layers of the skin using a sterile surgical scalpel, this treatment effectively removes dead skin cells and fine vellus hair, commonly referred to as "peach fuzz." Dermaplaning not only reveals a smoother, more radiant complexion but also helps to address various skin concerns.

how it works
During a dermaplaning session, a trained aesthetician uses a sterile, surgical-grade scalpel to gently scrape away the outermost layer of dead skin cells and fine hair. This process involves precise, controlled strokes to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the treatment. The removal of these superficial layers promotes cell turnover and improves skin texture, which can result in a more even tone and a more youthful appearance. Dermaplaning is typically performed on the face but can be applied to other areas of the body as needed.
