Dermaplaning
Dermaplaning
Reveal smoother, brighter skin
Dermaplaning is a gentle exfoliation treatment that uses a sterile surgical blade to carefully remove the outer layer of dead skin cells and fine vellus hair (often referred to as peach fuzz).
This process, known as manual exfoliation, reveals fresh, healthy skin underneath, leaving the complexion smoother, brighter and more radiant. By removing this surface layer, dermaplaning also enhances the absorption of skincare products and can help soften the appearance of fine lines.
Dermaplaning does not cause hair to grow back thicker or darker. The structure of vellus hair remains unchanged.

Boost Your Dermaplaning Results
Dermaplaning pairs beautifully with treatments such as LED Light Therapy and Hydrafacial to enhance overall results. After exfoliation, the skin is more receptive, allowing LED to support healing and reduce inflammation, while Hydrafacial helps deeply cleanse, hydrate and nourish the skin. Together, these treatments can further improve skin clarity, hydration and overall glow.
