DERMAPLANING

Dermaplaning is a manual exfoliating treatment that requires the use of a specially designed sterile blade to gently remove dead skin cells and vellus hair (“peach fuzz”) from the skin’s surface.  Dermaplaning can improve the absorption and effectiveness of skin care products.  It also can be an add on service to Hydrafacial® and chemical peels.  After this treatment, your skin will feel smoother, look more vibrant, and leave you with a glowing complexion. Dermaplaning takes approximately 30 minutes for the aesthetician to perform.

We perform a complimentary light chemical peel (no downtime) to help chemically and mechanically exfoliate the skin.
