Dermaplaning
Dermaplaning is quickly gaining in popularity and is a safe effective treatment to exfoliate the skin and remove all the fine vellus hairs. Dermaplaning uses a medical scalpel blade to remove excessive dead skin build up and peach fuzz (vellus hairs). The skin is left soft, smooth and hydrated with a youthful glow.
Dermaplaning is painless and requires no downtime. It is safe for all skin types and can benefit skins with blackheads and minor imperfections. For best results we recommend treatments at 4-6 weekly intervals - depending on your hair growth cycle, this will keep the skin looking smooth and bright.
