Dermaplaning is the best add-on to any facial treatment, the basic concept of dermaplaning is similar to shaving, however, it is a deeper exfoliation of the skin. Don’t worry your hair will not grow back thicker or darker (this is a myth, we were lied to)
This non invasive procedure is achieved by using a sterile blade on a 45-degree angle and planing it slowly across your skin, we will remove dead cells, scar tissue, and other debris that makes the skin's surface look uneven and clogs up pores. You will be left with a smoother and brighter surface. Dermaplaning has a 3-fold benefit, your facial products will penetrate deeper, make-up will appear smoother and your skin will respond to other professional facial procedures with a greater result. We recommend Dermaplaning every 4-6 weeks to reduce break outs, promote collagen production and keep your skin looking brighter and feeling silky smooth.
