DERMAPLANING
Dermaplaning is a physical exfoliation method that uses a sterile surgical scalpel to gently shave the top layer of the skin, the stratum corneum, dead skin layer, and vellus hair - aka peach fuzz. It painlessly exfoliates the stratum corneum to stimulate cellular turnover with little to no downtime. The smooth skin after creates an ideal canvas for a more flawless makeup application and helps treatment serums penetrate the skin deeper.
