Dermaplaning
This treatment is suitable for all skin types except for acneic skin.
Dermaplaning is a state of the art treatment where a blade is used to gently abrade the epidermis and fine vellus hair (peach fuzz) using light feather-like strokes. Due to the layer of dead skin cells being removed, this treatment leaves the skin more radiant and smoother to the touch. This treatment is a favorite among celebrities and models as it also allows for make up to be flawlessly applied and for products to penetrate deeper into the skin. This treatment is very well tolerated and has no downtime. It can be done on its own or in combination with chemical peels.

This procedure requires using a very sharp blade to remove dull skin cells and vellus hair. It is possible that the blade can nick or cut the skin if the provider is not well trained and lacks manual dexterity (a steady hand). Also, too much skin can be removed if the provider is not well trained. Our staff are highly trained and skilled in all treatments provided at skinfitMD.
