Anyone with sensitive skin is a great candidate for Dermaplaning. Also, as an add on in preparation for a Hydrafacial or some of our laser facials.  It is a great all around treatment that can be performed year round with no downtime for smoother, more glowing skin.

Dermaplanning is performed by a medically trained professional and is highly customized to the areas and depth of exfoliation. Patients with sensitive skin can find chemical peels and other types of exfoliation too uncomfortable, so a Dermaplane is a great way to remove dull dry skin and reveal a new smooth youthful glow.

Patients will see visible skin improvement and an even, radiant skin tone after just one treatment. This procedure can be done approximately once a month, which coincides with a normal skin cycle of 30 days.

Dermaplaning treatments are fast and effective, taking as little as 30 minutes to deliver an immediate smoothness and glow. The results are pain-free with no downtime.
