Dermaplaning

Dermaplaning is a form of manual exfoliation. A sterile, medical-grade blade is used to remove vellus hair and dead skin cells from the very uppermost surface of the skin, leaving an instantly smoother, clearer complexion.

The effects of Dermaplaning include smoother, fresher skin that is clear of vellus hair, increased absorption of cosmetic products, and a more even finish to make-up. Dermaplaning can also improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and help to guard against the minor breakouts associated with congested pores.

Your face will be cleansed and prepared and then the dead surface skin and vellus hair will be gently removed with a medical-grade scalpel. A hydrating product with a high SPF will then be applied to nourish and protect the skin.

Please note that the outcome for this treatment is not guaranteed. The outcome may vary between patients, and you may require more than a single treatment to achieve your desired outcome.
