Dermaplaning

A skin resurfacing procedure used to remove the thin outer layer of skin (epidermis). It is performed using a special surgical blade called a dermatome to gently scrape away the superficial layer of problem skin, aiding in reduction of acne scars, hyperpigmentation, facial hair and fine line wrinkles. Removal of this outer layer of dead skin cells and fine hair enhances the penetration and speed of your personal skin care regimen. Dermaplaning is only performed on the face, taking care to avoid the eyelids and neck. No chemical or acid solutions are needed when Dermaplaning, making it less irritating for sensitive-skinned patients. Dermaplaning is a safe, effective treatment for overall skin rejuvenation. It can produce a smoother skin texture and a clearer complexion, while minimizing fine lines and minor scars * Pricing varies on skin type and time allocated 

Potential Dermaplane Benefits:

• Removing the dead layer of obstructive skin cells
• Erasing or minimizing acne scars and fine, small facial wrinkles
• Preparing your skin for other procedures such as Chemical Peels or Microdermabrasion
• Improving penetration of your personal skin care products
• Encouraging smooth, clear, undamaged skin to emerge
• Immediate results with little to no downtime
• Creating a clear, smooth, healthy, refreshed – more youthful skin appearance
• Dermaplaning poses no serious side effects and patients can resume normal activities immediately following treatment. Please note: While new skin cells begin to grow over and vellus hair grows back, it may feel slightly irritated, soar or even have an itchy sensation. Dermaplaning, in some cases, can also leave a "paper-cut" in weaker area's of the skin.
