Dermaplaning is a skin resurfacing procedure that people use to give the skin a smoother appearance. It uses a blade to remove the top layer of the skin.

The basic concept of dermaplaning is the same as shaving, but in place of a razor, it uses a scalpel-type blade to remove skin cells, hair, and other debris that may be present on the surface of the skin.

The continuous exposure of the top layer of skin to UV rays, environmental toxins, and irritants means that it may begin to appear dull. Dermaplaning removes the top layer of skin to reveal newer skin cells that may make a person’s skin appear smoother and glowing.

Prior to the procedure, our skin specialist will use a gentle cleanser with alpha or beta hydroxy acids to help loosen dead skin cells.

During the procedure, she will use a sterilized 10-gauge scalpel that she will hold at a 45 degree angle to the skin in which she will pull the skin tight and use the blade to make short motions against the grain of the hair on the skin.

Following the procedure, she will apply a moisturizer to the your skin before providing you with a post-procedure care guide.
