Benefits and Considerations for Dermaplaning
what to consider before your appointment

Dermaplaning is a non-invasive exfoliation technique that gently removes dead skin cells and fine vellus hair—often referred to as peach fuzz—using a sterile blade. This treatment reveals a smoother, more radiant complexion and allows for deeper product penetration in your skincare routine.

​

• For dull or dry skin needing a reset
