Dermaplaning is performed using a scalpel to manually exfoliate dead skin cells from the face. Dermaplaning is a physical exfoliation method that requires the use of a sterile surgical scalpel to gently shave the top layer of the skin, the stratum corneum, dead skin layer, and vellus hair, aka. Peach Fuzz.
This treatment results in ultra-smooth, fresh, and brighter skin. By removing that dead layer and hair from the face, the skin is evened out, and it helps with cell metabolism, which helps new skin come to the surface. It painlessly exfoliates the stratum corneum to stimulate cellular turnover with little to no downtime. It can be performed frequently. It helps makeup go on smoother and more evenly. It does not make the hair grow back thicker and darker.
This service is the perfect addition to Hydrafacial services!
