Dermaplaning is a skin resurfacing and exfoliating procedure used to remove the thin, top, outer layer of skin (dead epidermal cells) and fine, soft hairs. It is performed using a special surgical blade to gently scrape away that top layer of problem skin – improving fine lines and revealing smoother, healthier skin. Treatments take approximately 20 minutes, are painless, and can be done every 4 weeks.
