Dermaplaning is a physical exfoliation that removes dead skin cells and vellus hair from the face. This form of exfoliation smooths the skin and allows for the active ingredients in skincare products and treatments to penetrate deeper, which increases their efficacy and anti-aging benefits.
This treatment involves the use of a specialized sterile, single use blade to remove the dead skin and vellus hair.
Alternatives to dermaplaning include microdermabrasion and scrubs for exfoliation, and waxing, threading, or depilatory cream for the removal of the vellus hair.
