Dermaplaning

What is dermaplaning?

• Dermaplaning leaves your face soft and smooth by removing the buildup of dead skin cells and vellus facial hair. It also facilitates better absorption of all your skin care products.
• This is a noninvasive way to exfoliate skin and shed the epidermis of fine vellus hair.
• Facial home care is an important time investment, and this service ensures that active ingredients in products are being delivered to cells that need it rather than being absorbed by dead skin cells and excess facial hair.
• Dermaplaning is a gentle, well tolerated procedure. It can even be ideal for guests with sensitive skin, sensitivities to product ingredients, and it can be performed during pregnancy.
• It is a mechanical rather than chemical exfoliation and is often performed during a facial or prior to a peel if recommended by your esthetician or medical provider.
• Dermaplaning is performed by your esthetician and can be booked as a stand alone treatment or, for maximum benefits, added to a facial treatment.
