Dermaplaning is a physical exfoliation: a medical blade removes the top layer of dead cells and vellus hair. Light reflects evenly off the new surface, serums penetrate deeper and makeup sits flat.

Choose the Express Dermaplane (cleanse, dermaplane, moisturize) when you are on the go, or the Dermaplane Facial, a 90-minute treatment that adds a customized mask, enzyme or light peel and LED.

It is safe for most skin types and during pregnancy, and it pairs well with a chemical peel or HydraFacial. We skip it on active acne or very sensitive, reactive skin.

How it works

Every 4 to 6 weeks STEP 1 Cleanse Double cleanse and skin prep. STEP 2 Dermaplane Short, feather-light strokes across the face. It feels like a gentle scrape. STEP 3 Treat Facial clients get a mask, enzyme or peel and LED. STEP 4 Protect Hydrating serum and SPF. Makeup is fine right away.
