Dermaplaning is a technique used to instantly remove dead skin cells that contribute to rough, dull and/or damaged skin. Using a surgical blade, we are able to remove peach fuzz and that layer of dead skin cells at once! This is a tried and true treatment that will leave your skin feeling refreshed, soft and smooth.
Dermaplaning gives the skin a velvety smooth texture and a healthy glow. The dermaplaning treatment is a chemical-free exfoliation, and it will make your makeup application noticeably smoother. Dermaplaning isn’t a permanent solution, but it is an easy and effective way to exfoliate the skin.
