WHAT IS DERMAPLANING?

Dermaplaning is a physical exfoliation that utilizes a specialized instrument designed to scrape away accumulated dead skin cells and vellus hair. It is a comfortable, relaxing procedure that can be combined with our other services to improve their efficacy. Dermaplaning is a gentle exfoliation that removes the dead skin cells which can leave skin looking dull.

Reveal younger, softer, glowing skin with our new Dermaplaning facial.

Perfect before a special event or any time you want to look your best. You’ll enjoy improvements in your skin’s health and appearance right away with no downtime.

WHEN YOU LOOK IN THE MIRROR IS YOUR SKIN AS SMOOTH AND YOUTHFUL AS YOU WOULD LIKE IT TO BE?

With an exciting technique called Dermaplaning, you will notice improvement in the tone and texture of your skin right away! By removing the top layer of dead skin cells and vellus hair, newer, younger skin cells will be revealed.

This unique approach stimulates the production of fresh, young skin cells, while helping your skin to breathe easier. Active ingredients in skin care products can penetrate deeper, resulting in healthier skin.

Treatments are gentle and take very little time, ideal for your busy lifestyle. With no downtime, you’ll return to your favorite activities right away (always wear an SPF). You’ll enjoy the confidence that comes with having healthy, younger looking skin.

WHO IS DERMAPLANING FOR?

Dermaplaning is ideal for clients of all skin types and colors in their 20’s and beyond, who are in good overall health and interested in improving the health and appearance of their skin. It may not be suitable for clients who have darker or thicker facial hair.

WHAT ABOUT MEN?

Dermaplaning is also great for men who want the area of skin above where their thicker facial hair normally grows to be deeply exfoliated with this method.

WHAT RESULTS CAN I EXPECT?

Brighter, softer skin that glows with renewed health. You’ll also notice a reduction in the appearance of fine lines, hyperpigmentation and acne scars.
