Dermaplaning is an exfoliation treatment that removes the dead skin cells in the upper layer of the skin. It uses a surgical scalpel to lightly 'shave' the skin's surface, removing the face's fine vellus hair (peach fuzz). The treatment will produce a brighter and more youthful glow to the client's skin and allow skincare products to be absorbed more easily. Clients also find that their makeup sits more smoothly on their skin following "peach fuzz" removal. The treatment can be performed monthly in under thirty minutes and has minimal downtime.
