Dermaplaning
Exfoliating the skin with a scalpel
Dermaplaning is a technique designed to remove dead skin cells on the top layer of skin. We offer this as an alternative for people who are not getting results with microdermabrasion or those who would like an instant bright appearance. This is a non-invasive procedure that gently removes the top layer of skin to leave it looking smooth, vibrant and hair-free.

Here’s a close look at the benefits of the dermaplaning procedure:

What is Dermaplaning?

The treatment is performed quickly and does not cause any pain. Dermaplaning can be performed every 3 to 4 weeks and typically removes several weeks of dead skin cell buildup. The procedure is relatively safe on most skin types. Dermaplaning is among the more aggressive skin exfoliation and rejuvenation treatments available. The skin may peel naturally after the procedure, especially if you are undergoing the treatment every two to three weeks. This means you will need to use an emollient-rich moisturizer day and night as the peeling process begins, and ensure that the skin does not get too dry.

People with very sensitive skin may not be good candidates for this procedure. Dermaplaning is not designed for people with acne or those who experience frequent breakouts because it can trigger over activity of the sebaceous glands

What are the Benefits of Dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning is often considered a ‘manual exfoliation’ technique because it effectively gets rid of the outer layer of skin to leave the skin much smoother. This procedure does not cause any trauma to the skin, and can be performed several times throughout the year for better results.
