What is Dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning is a manual exfoliation procedure that uses a specialized blade to gently scrape away the top layer of dead skin cells and fine vellus hair. By carefully resurfacing the skin, dermaplaning promotes cell turnover, allowing for a softer, brighter complexion and helping your skincare products absorb more effectively. Ideal for all skin types, this treatment leaves you looking refreshed and renewed with no downtime.
