Dermaplaning
Dermaplaning uses a fine surgical blade to remove dead skin and fine vellus hair, leaving the skin smoother.
How dermaplaning works
It is a gentle exfoliation that can make makeup sit better and help products absorb. Hair does not grow back thicker.
It is often combined with a facial or peel.
- Dull skin
- Fine facial hair
- Rough texture
A clinician checks for active acne or irritation first.
