What is Dermaplaning?



Dermaplaning, also known as dermal leveling, is a manual form of exfoliation using a sterile, surgical blade.  As barbaric as it sounds, it's actually a simple and painless skin treatment that removes the thin, top layer of dead skin cells and fine vellus hair (peach fuzz) through gentle scraping. Performed as a stand-alone treatment, it allows the smooth, underlying area of clear, undamaged skin to emerge and prevents dead cell buildup that can make small facial wrinkles, acne scars, and pores appear larger.  It is an excellent way to prep the skin before a chemical peel to ensure that the solution being used penetrates evenly into the skin.  In conjunction with microdermabrasion, it is an aggressive, yet safe, resurfacing treatment.
