What Is Dermaplaning?

Learn about Dermaplaning

Dermaplaning is a non-invasive cosmetic treatment that uses a sterile surgical scalpel to gently scrape away the outermost layer of dead skin cells and fine hair (peach fuzz) from your face. The goal of Dermaplaning at Skin Boutique is to exfoliate and rejuvenate the skin, resulting in a smoother, brighter complexion. It can also help to improve the absorption of skincare products by removing the layer of dead skin cells that can block their penetration into the skin. The process is painless and usually takes 30-45 minutes, depending on the size of the treatment area. When done with the professionalism of our team, it offers a range of results for the skin, including improved texture, tone, and radiance.

What to expect?

Dermaplaning Expectations

For 2 to 3 days before treatment, you must discontinue any irritant topical agents, such as alpha-hydroxy acids, beta-hydroxy acids, glycolic acids, and retinol. These can be resumed one week after the procedure. During the day of your dermaplaning procedure at Skin Boutique, a trained skincare professional will hold the skin taut and use the scalpel to make short, swift strokes across the face. The process is painless and usually takes 30-45 minutes, depending on the size of the treatment area.
