Dermaplaning is a skin care treatment that removes the top layer of dead skin cells. As an added benefit it also removes vellus hair, aka peach fuzz. A licensed and certified esthetician uses a small sterile scalpel to exfoliate the skins surface in a gentle and upward motion. It is completely pain free and let’s face it...amazing!

You can expect to see an instant improvement in skin texture, tone and you will have a gorgeous glow. The long-term effects are increased cell turnover, fewer wrinkles and dark spots, reduction of acne scarring, and the removal of fine facial hair. Over time your skin will appear brighter, smoother and more youthful.

Aside from a great exfoliation, dermaplaning removes peach fuzz. This is beneficial since the fine hairs trap debris and oils and give skin a dull look. Once we remove the dead skin and vellus hair, skin care products and treatments perform much more efficiently since they can penetrate the skin more easily. There is another added bonus; Your makeup goes on smoother as well.

The only contraindication is for dermaplaning is active pustular acne. If you would like to try dermaplaning and you have pustular acne, we can start clear complexion treatments to clear your acne. Once we have cleared your skin, then we can start dermaplaning treatments.

Its important to know that clients can't just treat their skin when they see a specialist—they have to do it at home too. A proper home care regimen along with professional treatments will give you the best and longest lasting results. At-home micro peels between professional treatments can really boost and maintain your results. If you are battling acne, a light at-home peel will gently exfoliate, kill acne-causing bacteria, and calm inflammation. Micro peels can hydrate, lift hyperpigmentation, and speed up cell turnover, all revealing brighter, healthier, more glowing skin.
