What is Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning (sometimes called microplaning) is one of the most raved-about methods for turning back time and improving your skin’s appearance. It functions at the deepest possible level—the pores themselves.
When we notice large or deep pores, what we’re actually seeing are thousands of tiny “funnels” that create irregular patterns of light. This disrupts the skin’s natural ability to reflect light evenly, taking away from its smooth, radiant glow. By deeply exfoliating the skin, dermaplaning levels the outer rims of these pores, eliminating the uneven light-scattering effect and restoring a natural luminosity.
Unlike other exfoliating treatments, dermaplaning uses a specialized scalpel that is designed not to cut the skin but to gently and evenly remove a fine layer of dead skin cells and peach fuzz. That’s why at-home dermaplaning is not recommended—it requires a trained hand, specialized tools, and keen perception to ensure the skin receives the gentle care it deserves.
Why Choose Dermaplaning?
- Instant Glow: By removing dull, dead skin, dermaplaning reveals a fresh, radiant complexion immediately.
- Smoother Makeup Application: With no peach fuzz or rough texture, foundation glides on seamlessly.
- Refined Pores: The treatment includes a light enzyme peel that helps to unclog pores and boost moisture levels.
- Gentle & Non-Invasive: Unlike harsher exfoliation methods, dermaplaning is safe for most skin types and requires no downtime.
The Ultimate Event-Ready Treatment
This 50-minute treatment is designed to leave you with flawless, camera-ready skin. After dermaplaning, a light enzyme peel is applied to refine pores and enhance hydration. To further perfect the skin, gentle pore-by-pore extractions are performed, ensuring a smooth and clear complexion. The treatment is then completed with a luxurious oxygen infusion, giving your skin an instant boost of radiance and hydration—perfect for any upcoming event or special occasion.
Who is Dermaplaning Best For?
Dermaplaning is ideal for those looking to improve skin texture, remove peach fuzz, and achieve a luminous glow. However, individuals with active acne or extremely sensitive skin should consult a skincare professional before undergoing the treatment.
By carefully removing the outer, mostly dead layers of skin, dermaplaning accomplishes several key tenets of skin health:
- Cleanses the pores of microscopic debris, preventing congestion and allowing the skin to breathe.
- Enhances skincare absorption, ensuring serums and moisturizers penetrate deeply for maximum benefit.
- Smooths and softens the face, neck, shoulders, and décolletage for an overall youthful, refreshed appearance.
