Dermaplaning facial
Dermaplaning gently buffs the top layer of dead skin cells away helping to reveal a brighter and smoother complexion leaving skin ultra-smooth and perfectly prepped for make-up. Dead skin cells make your complexion look dull and contribute to clogged pores and spots.
How does it work?
Dermaplaning clears the way so skin peels, facials, skin products and serums can get down into the skin where they need to be rather than sitting on the skin’s surface. It also removes peach fuzz / vellus (fine) hair on the face and creates clear channels into the skin as well as a soft, smooth surface for makeup to glide on flawlessly.
