What Is Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is a gentle, non-invasive exfoliation treatment that removes dead skin cells and fine vellus hair (peach fuzz) using a sterile surgical blade.
This technique instantly reveals smoother, brighter, and clearer skin while enhancing the absorption of skincare products.
It is a popular treatment for achieving a fresh, glowing complexion with zero downtime.
How Dermaplaning Works
Using controlled, precise strokes, your practitioner glides a medical-grade blade across the skin’s surface.
This process:
- Removes the outer layer of dead skin
- Eliminates peach fuzz
- Smooths texture
- Helps unclog pores
- Promotes natural cell turnover
The result is softer, more radiant skin that reflects light beautifully.
