Dermaplaning leaves you with brighter, smoother skin by gently scraping away up to two weeks’ worth of dead skin, “peach fuzz,” and excess oil with a scalpel. While this might sound similar to shaving, the goal of dermaplaning is to remove a layer of dead skin and buildup, not just facial hair.

This treatment is most often used on patients with rough or dry skin, superficial hyper- pigmentation, mild acne scarring, or fine lines and wrinkles, leaving them with a more refined and smooth “glowing” appearance. In addition to leaving you with dewy, soft skin, this deep exfoliation treatment also makes for easier (and more effective) skincare and makeup application by allowing products to penetrate and glide along the skin.
