Dermaplaning explained

Dermaplaning is a simple, non-chemical exfoliation for the face. It removes the outer layer of dead cells and vellus hair, often called peach fuzz. It is often done before a peel or facial to help products work better.

How Dermaplaning works

The practitioner holds the skin taut and moves a sterile surgical-style blade at a shallow angle across the skin. This lifts away dead cells and fine hair. Fine hair grows back the same as before; dermaplaning does not make it thicker or darker.
