We recommend avoiding exfoliation the day of your treatment. Arrive without makeup if possible.
Dermaplaning Facial
What is Dermaplaning Facial?
“We always give our best to satisfy your needs”
The dermaplaning facial is a form of manual exfoliation similar in theory to microdermabrasion but without the use of suction or abrasive crystals. A medical grade sterile blade is stroked lightly along the skin at an angle to gently “shave off” dead skin cells from the epidermis. Dermaplaning also temporarily removes the fine vellus hair from the face leaving a very smooth surface but does NOT stimulate hair growth. It can be an effective exfoliation method for clients with cupreous (tiny blood vessels near the surface of the skin), sensitive skin or allergies that prevent the use of microdermabrasion or chemical peels.
