Dermaplaning or Epidermal Leveling is a safe and effective exfoliation technique suitable for men and women of all skin tones. This treatment utilizes a specially designed surgical instrument to carefully remove the topmost layers of dead cells as well as the fine vellous facial hair ("peach fuzz"); thus resulting in a smoother and more radiant complexion. Furthermore Dermplaning stimulates and rejuvenates skin tissue, making it an effective way to reduce acne scarring, uneven pigmentation, and fine lines and wrinkles. Most people notice marked improvements in the texture and appearance of their skin immediately after their first treatment, which is why this procedure is excellent for those want to “get their glow back” prior to a special event. The procedure can be used alone or in conjunction with other procedures such as chemical peels and laser rejuvenation treatments. It is non-invasive and does not require the use of any chemicals and is thus suitable even for our pregnant and nursing clients. This treatment may be performed every 4 to 6 weeks. 

In short, here is why Dermaplaning may be right for you:

  1. It improves the texture of rough photo damaged skin, superficial hyperpig­mentation, hyper-keratinization, acne, mild acne scarring, and fine lines and wrinkles.

  2. It is ideal for patients who are pregnant or nursing that want a deep exfoliation, but are not allowed to use chemicals and peeling agents on their skin.

  3. It is a first choice for patients who have excess vellus hair (peach fuzz) which causes a buildup of dirt and oils in the follicles and results in clogged pores and breakouts.

  4. It helps to prevent ingrown hairs and shaving rash in men.

  5. It enhances the penetration of active products (such as retinols or vitamin-C) into the deeper layers of the dermis.

  6. It is an ideal way to prepare the skin for procedures such as laser treatments, chemical peels and deep cleansing facials.
