dermaplaning
Dermaplaning is a minimally invasive procedure where a special blade is used to gently shave away the top layer of dead skin from the epidermis. It helps remove unwanted “peach fuzz” hairs from the face to reveal a smoother complexion. It can help reduce the appearance of acne scars, pitted skin, and fine lines. It reveals newer, undamaged skin.
