Dermaplaning

Dermaplaning helps to "refinish" the skin's top layers through a method of controlled surgical scraping. The treatment gives the skin a smoother appearance. Dermaplaning is most often used to improve the look of facial skin that is scarred from acne, accidents or previous surgeries as well as to smooth out small facial wrinkles and sometimes to remove the pre-cancerous growths called keratoses. Dermaplaning can be performed on small areas of skin or on the entire face and can be used alone or in conjunction with other procedures such as a chemical peel, microdermabrasion, or fluorescent pulsed light (FPL).

Dermaplaning, when performed prior to other treatments, can remove the "peach fuzz" which can trap excess dirt and oil. It is non-invasive and helps make other skin care treatments more effective.
