Dermaplaning is a treatment to remove dead skin and vellus hair or “peach-fuzz” from
the face. Using a sterile surgical scalpel to gently glide across the skin to leave behind
ultra-smooth, fresh brighter skin. This is achieved because the removal of the dead skin
stimulates your cell metabolism helping new skin to come to the surface. After treatment
the effectiveness of serums and skin care are increased because they are not having to
work through a layer of dead skin. This treatment can be done monthly to keep the
results coming. A common concern is that more hair will grow back thicker however,
dermaplaning does not touch the hair follicle and will not stimulate thicker hair growth.
