Dermaplaning is a non-invasive exfoliation treatment that uses a sterile surgical scalpel to gently remove the top layer of dead skin cells and vellus hair (peach fuzz) from the surface of the skin. This process reveals smoother, brighter skin and promotes a more even complexion.
Yes, dermaplaning is considered safe when performed by a trained and experienced professional. The procedure is non-invasive and generally well-tolerated by most individuals. Our estheticians are skilled in dermaplaning techniques and prioritize your safety and comfort.

It's important to consult with our estheticians to assess your skin's suitability for dermaplaning and address any concerns you may have.
A dermaplaning treatment usually takes between 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the areas being treated and the specific needs of your skin. This includes prepping the skin, performing the dermaplaning process, and applying appropriate skincare products afterward.
There is typically no downtime associated with dermaplaning. You may experience some temporary redness or mild sensitivity immediately after the treatment, but it should subside quickly. You can resume your regular activities and apply makeup if desired.
