Dermaplanning
What exactly is Dermaplaning?
A dermaplane can encourage skin health and improve appearance. Although it sounds similar to dermabrasion, dermaplaning is a completely different exfoliation procedure—one that’s much easier on your skin. During a dermaplane facial, an aesthetician cleanses your skin, then lightly scrapes the skin of the entire face with a surgical-grade scalpel, much like shaving. This process gently removes dead skin cells and fine vellus hair (better known as “peach fuzz”).
