Dermaplaning treatment
What is Dermaplane?
Dermaplane or “dermaplaning” is a skin exfoliating procedure that helps to get rid of excess dirt and oil, and particularly vellus hair or “peach fuzz”. Dermaplane treatment involves using a scalpel or medical tool known as dermatone. Your skin specialist will move the dermatone – a medical device that resembles an electric razor – in a back and forth pattern to scrape off the skin’s top layer where dead skin resides.
The procedure is perfect for anyone looking to make the skin’s surface look smooth and vibrant, as well as get rid of that annoying peach fuzz, fine lines and wrinkles, and deep acne scarring.
