Dermaplaning
Facial
This minimally invasive treatment is a form of deep exfoliation. The top layer of your skin (dead skin & peach-fuzz) is removed with a surgical blade, leaving you with softer skin that has a glow. This treatment promotes deeper penetration of your skincare products and encourages even skintone
What to expect?
Your face will be thoroughly double-cleansed with a gentle, clean ingredient cleanser. Your technician will then begin Dermaplaning your face with a sharp surgical blade. Once every area has been covered, a thick barrier repairing cream will be applied and massaged into your skin followed by an SPF. You will receive your aftercare instructions as well as an aftercare package that will help you to take care of your skin at home.
