Skincare Benefits and Treatments of Dermaplaning

Dermaplaning is a popular facial treatment providing instant gratification without the use of chemicals. It is a simple and safe technique used for exfoliating the skin while removing fine vellus hair, also called peach fuzz.

Using a small, modified surgical blade to gently but persistently scrape the epidermis surface with light, feathery strokes, the procedure leaves skin smooth and vibrant. Dermaplaning is often paired with a variety of additional treatments, such as light chemical peels and masks. Treatment pairing allows for deeper penetration of skincare products.
