WHY DERMAPLANING?
Approximately every 28 days we create a new layer of skin. As new cells form they push their way to the surface and then dead cells settle on the surface. This can cause enlarged pores, clogged pores, a bumpy uneven texture. and a dull appearance. As we age this process slows down leading to the appearance of older skin with less radiance. Suitable to those who has sensitive skin.
HOW DOES DERMAPLANING WORK?
Dermaplaning is a treatment that uses a specialized blade to remove dead skin cells and fine vellus hair (also known as peach fuzz). It is considered a physical form of exfoliation and leave the skin soft, smooth and bright. The result can last up to 3 weeks.
