Dermaplaning
Reveal Smoother Skin with Dermaplaning
Removes surface layers of the skin and reveal a softer, more radiant complexion. If you’re looking for a way to boost your glow, dermaplaning is a safe, effective choice for all skin types.
What is Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that uses a dermaplaning blade or scalpel to gently exfoliate the skin’s surface. This treatment removes dead skin cells and fine facial hair (peach fuzz) while promoting smoother, healthier skin. Unlike dermabrasion, a more invasive surgical procedure which involves a high-speed rotating brush, dermaplaning provides a gentler and more precise exfoliation, making it ideal for sensitive skin or minor imperfections.
Key Features of Dermaplaning
- Treats deep acne scars and uneven skin texture.
- Enhances product absorption for improved skincare benefits.

Whether you’re seeking rejuvenation or preparation for special events, dermaplaning is tailored to meet your skin’s needs.
