Dermaplaning

Dermaplaning is a non-invasive and safe cosmetic procedure for your skin. It is a method of physical exfoliationthat uses a sterile surgical scalpel tool to gently and safely scrap and shave the dead skin, hairs and other skin imperfections off of your face. Dermaplaning can help reduce the appearance of acne scars or other skin imperfections by revealing newer, undamaged skin. It can make your skin look younger; though, it doesn’t stop the aging process. Some people also get dermaplaning for hair removal. This is only a temporary fix because your hair will grow back. (And no, your hair will not grow back thicker. The reason it feels thicker in the beginning is because we give the hair a blunt end instead of its naturally tapered shape.)

Benefits of Dermaplaning:
