What is Dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning is a cosmetic exfoliation treatment in which a trained therapist uses a sterile surgical-grade blade to gently scrape away dead skin cells and fine vellus hair (peach fuzz) from the face. It leaves skin smoother, helps skincare absorb better and provides a flawless base for makeup. Because it involves a blade on the skin, it should be performed by a qualified, insured practitioner in hygienic conditions, and is usually preceded by a consultation rather than a patch test.
