Dermaplaning

Dermaplaning is a cosmetic procedure that involves using a scalpel to remove the outer layers of dead skin cells and vellus hair (often referred to as “peach fuzz”) from the face. The procedure is performed by a licensed skincare professional who uses gentle, sweeping motions to shave the surface of the skin.

Dermaplaning works by removing the outermost layer of dead skin cells, which can contribute to a dull, uneven skin tone, as well as the vellus hair, which can trap dirt, oil, and makeup, leading to clogged pores and breakouts. By removing these elements, dermaplaning can help to reveal smoother, brighter, and more radiant skin.

In addition to improving the overall appearance of the skin, dermaplaning can also enhance the penetration of skin care products, making them more effective. The procedure is typically performed in-office and takes 30-45 minutes to complete.

It’s important to note that dermaplaning is a safe and gentle procedure, but it’s still important to seek treatment from a licensed professional to minimize the risk of complications, such as skin irritation, infection, or scarring. After the procedure, the skin may be slightly red and sensitive, but these side effects usually subside within a few hours.
