Dermaplaning

This skin treatment is a cosmetic procedure where a surgical scalpel is used to gently remove the outermost layer of the skin.

Dermaplaning Treatment Overview

Dermaplaning uses surgical scalpel blades to gently and painlessly razor across the skin, removing any build-up of dead skin cells and unwanted facial hair (also known as ‘peach fuzz’) to improve skin texture and the overall quality of the skin surface.

This skin treatment is non-invasive and requires minimal to no downtime. To maintain effectiveness, ongoing treatments (approximately every 3-4 weeks) are recommended as results are temporary. This is a popular treatment in many beauty therapist clinics because of its ease, simplicity, and clear results.
