Dermaplaning is a cosmetic skin treatment that involves manually exfoliating the top layer of skin, along with the fine vellus hairs (peach fuzz) on the face, using a sterile surgical scalpel. This procedure aims to promote smoother skin, improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and enhance the absorption of skincare products
During the procedure, a trained aesthetician or skincare professional uses a sterile scalpel to gently scrape the surface of the skin at a 45-degree angle. This process helps to remove the outer layer of dead skin cells and fine hairs.
Dermaplaning is a non-invasive procedure that does not involve the use of chemicals or lasers. It is generally considered safe when performed by a trained and qualified professional.
