Dermaplaning

About Dermaplaning

Dermaplaning is a safe and highly effective physical exfoliation procedure that removes the top-most layer of dead skin along with fine vellus hair (aka peach fuzz). The procedure can be performed monthly, in less than thirty minutes, with no downtime post-treatment.
