What is Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is a manual exfoliation that uses a scalpel to gently scrape away layers of dead skin and peach fuzz. This leaves behind smooth, glowing skin, improves the absorption of skin care products and allows for smoother makeup application.
Our skilled treatment providers will cleanse the face to prepare the skin for treatment. Patients will feel the sensation of the blade across their skin, which is similar to the way that shaving with a razor feels. Once the Dermaplaning is completed, your provider will apply medical grade skin care to protect your skin.
What Dermaplaning Helps With:
- Dull skin
- Rough skin texture
- Peach fuzz (fine facial hair)
- Skin care product absorption
Post-Treatment Care - Dermaplaning
Patients can return to daily activities right away, however the skin may appear flushed or reddened from the treatment. Avoid strenuous activity for 24 hours, make sure to wear SPF daily and stay well hydrated!
