Dermaplaning is a popular cosmetic procedure designed to enhance skin texture and appearance. It is a safe and non-invasive treatment, ideal for all skin types and ages. It involves using a sterile surgical scalpel to gently exfoliate the skin’s surface, removing dead skin cells and vellus hair, commonly known as “peach fuzz”. This treatment leaves the skin smooth, radiant, and more youthful looking and improves the effectiveness of skincare products and makeup application by creating a smoother canvas.
