Dermaplaning 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 along the skin at an angle to gently “shave off” dead skin cells from the epidermis. It also temporarily removes the fine vellus hair of the face, leaving a very smooth surface. Exfoliation from dermaplaning promotes increased epidermal cell turnover and differentiation which improves skin texture and tone and allows greater penetration of anti-aging products. Regular treatments can reduce appearance of fine lines, scars, pores, and hyperpigmentation. The treatment immediately gives the skin a glow and improves product penetration and skin hydration.
