Dermaplaning is a manual exfoliation process that does not use acids or enzymes to remove dead skin cells. All of the exfoliation is achieved during your treatment and you will not peel or visibly shed skin after your service, while Peels can result in dramatic peeling in the days following a service. Dermaplaning provides a good alternative to peels for those who desire professional grade exfoliation without the potential social downtime.

From start to finish the treatment should take 30-45 minutes.

Side effects are minimal and may include temporary redness or a mild sensation of sensitivity post-treatment. These effects usually subside within a few hours. Rarely, there can be minor nicks or cuts if not performed by a professional.

Preparation includes avoiding excessive sun exposure and discontinuing use of exfoliating products a few days before the procedure. It’s also advisable to inform your provider of any skin conditions or sensitivities.
