Dermaplaning
Dermaplaning is a non-invasive exfoliating treatment that removes dead skin cells and fine vellus hair (often referred to as "peach fuzz") from the face. The process involves gliding a sterile surgical scalpel blade over the surface of the skin to reveal a smoother, brighter complexion. This treatment promotes cell turnover, helping to improve skin texture, reduce the appearance of fine lines, and enhance the effectiveness of skincare products.
Dermaplaning is safe for most skin types and requires no downtime, making it a popular choice for those seeking a quick, effective way to achieve a refreshed, glowing appearance.

Treatment FAQs
Your dermaplaning treatment begins with a thorough cleanse of your skin to remove any makeup, dirt, or oils. I will then use a sterile surgical scalpel to gently exfoliate the surface of your skin, carefully gliding the tool in short, precise strokes. You may feel a light scraping sensation, but the procedure is generally pain-free.
The treatment usually takes about 30 minutes, depending on the area being treated, and there’s no downtime afterwards. You may experience mild redness immediately after the procedure, but this typically fades within a few hours. After dermaplaning, your skin will feel incredibly smooth and makeup will go on more evenly. It's also common to notice a healthy glow as the dead skin cells and peach fuzz are removed.
