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.

Dermaplaning treats:

- Acne scarring

- Skin discoloration or hyperpigmentation

- Sun damage

- Fine lines and wrinkles

The benefits of dermaplaning include:

- Improved tone and texture

- Softening of fine lines and superficial wrinkles

- Improved product absorption

- Removes fine vellus hair providing for smoother makeup application

- Reduced oiliness and pore size

- Exfoliation treatment available to those with sensitivities to chemical exfoliants
