What is Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is a gentle, non-invasive exfoliation treatment that removes dead skin cells and vellus hair (peach fuzz) from the surface of the skin.
Using a sterile, medical-grade blade, this treatment reveals a smoother, brighter complexion while enhancing the absorption of skincare products.
