Dermaplaning Facial Treatment
What is Dermaplaning – Advanced Exfoliating Facial
Dermaplaning is a safe, simple and effective method to exfoliate the skin, removing dead skin cells from the epidermis and the fine vellus hairs (known as peach fuzz). Dermaplaning is a mechanical exfoliation performed by a professionally trained skincare professional using a sterile, surgical scalpel held at a 45 degree angle. Dermaplaning gives your skin an immediate exfoliation for a luminous glow, dewy skin, faster cell turnover, and a smoother texture. It also allows any products you apply after to penetrate deeper and creates a perfect base for make-up application.

6 Can I have this treatment when pregnant?

7 Is there any aftercare?
It’s recommended you wear sun protection for the rest of the day after your treatment, because your skin may be sensitive to the sun. It’s also recommended to take a break from using retinol products and glycolic acid skincare products for 48 hours as they could irritate your newly exfoliated skin.
