What is Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is a skincare treatment that uses a surgical scalpel to exfoliate the surface of the skin. Dermaplaning removes dead skin cells, debris, dirt, and fine hairs to expose healthy new skin cells underneath. The result is smoother, brighter skin that can more easily absorb skincare products and produce new collagen.

Am I A Good Candidate for Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is an excellent option for virtually anyone, including people with skin types or health conditions that might otherwise prevent them from getting skincare treatments. It uses no harsh ingredients and comes with little risk, but our experienced skincare specialists will still discuss your health history to determine if dermaplaning is right for you.
How Long Does Dermaplaning Treatment Take?
Dermaplaning can take 15-20 minutes. To begin, you’ll discuss your cosmetic goals with your skincare specialists to determine the right approach. You’ll also discuss what kind of results you can expect with a professional, honest opinion. Once you’re ready, your skin will be cleansed and any makeup, dirt, or oil will be removed. Then, your skincare specialist will apply a surgical scalpel held at an angle. With very quick “shaving” movements, your skincare expert will remove debris from the surface of the skin. After this is complete, your skin will be moisturized and protected with sunscreen for the rest of your day.
