All about Dermaplaning

What is Dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning is a highly efficient, safe, physical exfoliation procedure that uses a blade to clear away dry, dead, superfluous skin layers “aka the peach fuzz”! This facial treatment is safe for most skin types, even those with extremely sensitive skin. It helps the appearance of fine lines that are evident on aging skin. It also increases the rate of absorption of skincare products and provides a healthier, more radiant appearance! 

This is a great alternative for skin that is irritated by other methods of exfoliation (such as peels or microdermabrasion). There is no pain, no recovery time.. your skin will be refreshed and glowy right after! 

Can this facial treatment be combined with another treatment? 

Absolutely! Matter of fact, you will receive the best results if you combine this treatment with a Chemical Peel! Only Enzymes and a mild Chemical Peel should be considered. 

Are there any contraindications? 

Just like any advanced facial treatment, there are some contraindications for Dermaplaning. Please do not receive this treatment if you have any of the following:

Cystic Acne or Active Acne

Currently on Retin-A or Accutane or have used it in the last 6 months
