Dermaplaning

Dermaplaning is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that involves using a sterilized surgical scalpel to gently exfoliate the skin, removing dead skin cells and fine vellus hair (peach fuzz). This helps to reveal a smoother, brighter complexion.

How It’s Done:

1. Cleansing: The skin is first cleansed to remove makeup, oils, and impurities.

2. Exfoliation: A trained professional uses a scalpel to gently scrape the surface of the skin. This process removes dead skin cells and fine hair.

3. Moisturizing: After the procedure, the skin is moisturized to help replenish hydration.
Benefits of Dermaplaning:

• Smoother Skin: It removes dead skin cells and hair, resulting in softer and smoother skin. 

• Brighter Complexion: By removing the top layer of dull skin, it helps promote a more radiant appearance.

• Improved Makeup Application: Without the fine hair and dead skin, makeup goes on more evenly and smoothly.

• Helps with Hyperpigmentation: It can help with issues like dark spots or uneven skin tone by encouraging skin renewal.

• No Downtime: The procedure is relatively quick and does not require recovery time, so you can return to your normal activities immediately.

It’s generally considered safe for most people, though those with active acne or sensitive skin should consult a dermatologist beforehand.
