DERMAPLANING
Dermaplaning
Dermaplaning is a gentle medical skin treatment that is performed by using a surgical blade that gently scrapes the outermost layers of the epidermis, therefore, ridding it of dead skin cells, impurities and debris. This treatment is an excellent way to exfoliate the skin and to regenerate new skin cells thus leaving the complexion smooth, soft and vibrant.

FAQ
Helpful Information
What’s the difference between shaving and Dermaplaning?
​
People often think that they are one in the same. They are not. Dermaplaning is performed by trained skin Professionals using a surgical scalpel on tautly stretched skin. Most razors have two blades that much duller than a surgical blade. Dermaplaning requires short strokes at a certain angle in particular patterns depending on the facial region and resurfaces skin on a much deeper and more effective level than shaving.
What should I take in consideration prior and after Dermaplaning treatment?
