Dermaplaning is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that removes the top layer of dead skin cells from the face. The procedure is performed with a sterile, surgical scalpel that is held at a 45-degree angle to the skin. The practitioner gently glides the scalpel over the face, removing the dead skin cells and peach fuzz.
Dermaplaning can be beneficial for a variety of skin concerns, including:
Dermaplaning can help to reduce the appearance of acne scars by removing the dead skin cells that cover them.
Dermaplaning can help to smooth out fine lines and wrinkles by removing the dead skin cells that make them more visible.
Dermaplaning can help to improve the overall appearance of dull skin by removing the dead skin cells that make it look lifeless.
Dermaplaning can help to improve the appearance of sun-damaged skin by removing the dead skin cells that have been damaged by the sun's UV rays.
Dermaplaning is a relatively quick and painless procedure. It typically takes about 30 minutes to complete. There is no downtime after the procedure, and you can resume your normal activities immediately.
The benefits of dermaplaning can last for several weeks. However, the dead skin cells will eventually regrow, so you will need to have the procedure repeated every few months to maintain the results.

Dermaplaning can cause mild redness in the treated area. This redness usually goes away within a few hours.
