What is Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that involves using sterile surgical scalpel or a specialised tool to gently exfoliate the surface skin. The process removes dead skin cells and fine vellus hair, often referred to as “peach fuzz” from the face. By removing the top layer of skin, dermaplaning stimulates cell regeneration and improves skin texture, over time regular dermaplaning can reduce the appearance of fine lines, acne scars and uneven skin tone.
