What is Dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning is a gentle, non-invasive exfoliation treatment using a specialized blade to carefully remove dead skin cells and peach fuzz, revealing smooth and vibrant skin. Ideal for pregnant or nursing women, or anyone seeking an alternative to chemical peels, dermaplaning refreshes skin without harsh ingredients.

How does Dermaplaning work?

Start
1

Consultation and Preparation

Your treatment begins with a personalized consultation to assess your skin and discuss your goals. No oils or chemicals are applied before the start.

2

Exfoliation Process

Using feathering strokes, the aesthetician gently abrades the skin with a unique blade. Patients compare the sensation to gentle scratching and find it tolerable and relaxing.

3

Post-Treatment Nourishment

Post-procedure, you may notice slight pinkness but no downtime is required. We recommend our custom skin treatments post-dermaplaning to enhance and replenish your freshly exfoliated skin.
