Signature Facial with Dermaplane
About the Appointment
In addition to our signature facial, dermaplaning is a physical method of exfoliation performed using a medical grade scalpel that gently scrapes away our top layer of dead skin cells and vellus hair. This treatment enhances product penetration and gives the face a smooth, radiant glow.
