DERMAPLANING
WHAT IS DERMAPLANING?
Dermaplaning is a super effective method of exfoliation that consist of using sterile, surgical blade to gently scrape off dead skin cells and "fluffy" non terminal hair.The scalpel held at 45-degree angle is followed with organic balm to allow better glide and comfort.It sounds scary because it involves a blade, but it isn't really. In fact it can be a little relaxing!​This treatment promotes cell renewal and allows for better penetration of skincare products, leaving the skin smoother and brighter.​For best results Dermaplaning treatments are recommended every 4-6 weeks.​​
