DERMAPLANING
Dermaplaning is a skin rejuvenation treatment which effectively removes the top, dead layer of the skin. Using a scalpel, held at a 45 degree angle to the skin surface, gentle buffing movements lift the keratinized, dead skin cells and vellus hair.
Dermaplaning reduces the look of fine lines, diminishes the appearance of acne scarring, promotes smoother skin/helps even makeup application, removes trapped dirt/oils, and it also enables deeper penetration of products post treatment.
Due to the lack of chemicals used this treatment is suitable to most skin types.
