Dermaplaning
Reveal Smoother, Brighter Skin
Dermaplaning is a non-invasive exfoliation treatment that gently removes dead skin cells and fine vellus hair (peach fuzz) from the skin’s surface using a sterile surgical scalpel. This process promotes smoother skin, enhances product absorption, and provides a radiant complexion. It’s effective for reducing the appearance of acne scars, fine lines, and dull skin.
