Dermaplaning

Remove the Fuzz

Dermaplaning treatment is to allow a deep exfoliation of the epidermis and to aid in the cellular turnover process.

Dermaplaning is a simple and safe procedure that removes the upper most layer of skin, smoothing the surface of the skin, increasing your product penetration with the added benefit of removing the fine vellus hairs (peach fuzz). Dermaplaning will help maintain a more youthful appearance, rejuvenate the skin, and achieve a healthy, vibrant glow.

Your dermaplaning treatment is a manual treatment done with a small hand-held blade. Dermaplaning effectively removes dead and damaged skin cells, scar tissue and debris which often leaves us looking tired, with uneven skin.

It’s a painless procedure. It has no down time. Dermaplaning can be done in conjunction with HydraFacial, chemical peel, MicroNeedling or a custom facial depending on your skincare goals.
