Dermaplaning

Dermaplaning is immediate rejuvenation of the skin by manual removal of dead skin and facial hair. It is also highly effective in minimizing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, while leaving the skin smooth and glowing. It has been utilized for many years as skin preparation prior to peels but has become more recently popular as a stand alone treatment. It is great as an add-on treatment for most procedures or on its own to help increase product penetration and creating a perfect canvas for makeup application.

What can I expect for downtime?

Minimal to zero downtime. Your skin may appear flush for an hour or so post-treatment but you can apply make-up if needed immediately post treatment.

How long is the procedure?

Dermaplaning takes approx 20-30 minutes but we include an enzyme peel and masque with treatment, extending time to 50 mins. Dermaplaning can be added to Ultrasonic medical facial, more intense peels, PRP Facial, Injectables, and microneedling for an extra cost.
