Dermaplaning

Hispanic Female Patient With Eyes Closed In The Cosmetic Clinic Preparing For Dermaplaning Treatment

Dermaplaning is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that removes the top layer of dead skin cells and vellus hair (peach fuzz) from the face. It is done using a sterile surgical blade that is gently scraped across the skin at a 45-degree angle. 

Treatment Overview

Dermaplaning is a method of exfoliation that consists of using a gauge scalpel to gently scrape off the top layer of dulling dead skin cells in order to reveal a smoother, brighter complexion. 

Benefits of Dermaplaning

  • Provides deeper product penetration
  • Removes dead skin and soft facial hair that traps dirt and oils
  • Promotes smoother skin
  • Reduces the appearance of acne scars
  • Diminishes the look of fine lines
  • Instant results and no downtime

Dermaplaning removes all the dead skin cells and also the facial hair, leaving the surface very smooth. Dermaplaning also allows for greater penetration of skincare products and creates a flawless canvas for makeup to glide on smoothly. Dermaplaning can also help prepare skin for more intrusive procedures such as chemical peels and can also be performed after microneedling.
