Learn Dermaplaning

What is Dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning is a non-invasive exfoliation technique that uses a sterile, single-use surgical scalpel to gently remove:

  • Dead skin cells from the stratum corneum

  • Vellus hair (a.k.a. "peach fuzz") on the face

This treatment reveals smoother, brighter skin and enhances product penetration. It is performed by licensed professionals, typically estheticians or dermatologists.

The average price for a professional microcurrent facial typically ranges from $75 to $250 per session. The cost to learn how to perform it at home can be as little as $15

Benefits of Dermaplaning

  • Instantly smoother skin: Removes the dull top layer of dead skin.

  • Improved skin tone and texture

  • Better product absorption: Products penetrate more deeply.

  • Smoother makeup application

  • Reduces the appearance of fine lines and superficial hyperpigmentation

  • It can help reduce congestion by removing debris from pores

  • Safe for most skin types, including sensitive skin

  • No downtime
