What it Treats:
An accumulation of dead skin cells or fine vellus hair (often referred to as peach fuzz), can create an uneven texture on your complexion.
Dermaplaning offers a fantastic solution for achieving a more radiant and polished look. In this procedure, a specialized dermaplaning scalpel is employed to delicately exfoliate the skin, eliminating dead skin cells, debris, and unwanted hair.
How the Treatment Works
During your dermaplaning session, you’ll recline comfortably on a treatment chair or bed while your skin undergoes a thorough cleansing. Next, your provider will utilize a specialized dermaplaning blade, skillfully scraping your skin at a 45-degree angle to eliminate dead skin cells and fine hair. This procedure typically lasts around 30 minutes and is often combined with our HydraFacial procedure for optimal results. After the treatment is complete, a serum is applied to the skin to provide hydration, along with sunscreen for protection.
