Dermaplaning is a non-invasive exfoliation treatment that uses a sterile surgical blade to gently remove:

• Dead skin cells from the surface of the skin
• Fine facial hair (often called "peach fuzz" or vellus hair)

The treatment leaves the skin smoother, brighter, and more receptive to skincare products.

Unlike chemical peels or laser treatments, dermaplaning involves no chemicals, heat, or downtime.

How Does Dermaplaning Work?

During the treatment, a licensed professional carefully glides a sterile blade across the skin at a specific angle.

This process:

1. Removes the outer layer of dead skin cells
2. Removes fine facial hair
3. Unclogs surface debris
4. Creates a smoother skin texture
5. Reveals fresher, brighter skin underneath

The treatment is painless and often described as feeling like a light scraping or brushing sensation.
