Treatment Information

Dermaplaning is a non-invasive exfoliation technique that gently removes vellus hair and dead skin cells, giving skin an instantly smoother, brighter look as well as improving absorption of products into the skin. 

​

Dermaplaning is a safe (if the therapist is properly trained) and effective physical exfoliation procedure. It uses a sterile, surgical scalpel to gently “shave” the skin’s surface, removing the top-most layer of dead skin and fine, vellus hair (peach fuzz).

​

By removing the fine vellus hairs that can get clogged in makeup, it give a smoother look to the skin, reflected in pictures and videos.

 

By removing the top layer of dead skin this allows for up to 80% more product absorption of skincare products. Due to this and it being a non chemical exfoliation, dermaplaning is an ideal treatment to perform prior to other treatments such as laser, chemical peels or microneedling.
