DERMAPLANING
Dermaplaning is a manual exfoliation that removes surface dead skin cells and vellus hair from the face using a surgical blade. This form of exfoliation smooths the skin and allows for the active ingredients in skincare products and treatments to penetrate more deeply into the skin, furthering their anti-aging benefits.
This technique is safely performed using a specialized surgical instrument and disposable blades designed specifically for dermaplaning. Once the skin is properly prepped, the technician holds the skin taut and gently scrapes the skin with the blade held at a 45 degree angle. This removes both the vellus hair and the top layer of dead skin cells.
What is Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is a manual exfoliation using a surgical blade to remove dead skin cells and vellus hair “peach fuzz”. All skin types I-VI can benefit from dermaplaning. This is a great treatment for global skin types IV-VI. Dermaplaning removes extra layers of skin, which helps correct pigmentation concerns and provides a more youthful and healthy glow.
