What is Dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning, also known as Dermaplane is a non-invasive technique used in aesthetic medicine to remove the vellus hair and the excess of dead skin from the epidermis, the outermost layer of the skin.

When performed under clinical settings, a surgical-grade scalpel is used to delicately scrape the epidermis’s surface, removing dead skin cells, lipids and vellus hair.

What is Vellus Hair?

Removing vellus hair does not result in thicker or darker regrowth.

How is Dermaplaning Done?

Dermaplaning is a painless treatment, but you may feel light scratching of the skin surface.
Our aesthetician will wash and dry your skin completely. Following that, the specialist will pull an area of your skin tight with one hand while holding a sterilized surgical blade at a 45-degree angle with the other and scraping away dead skin cells and vellus hair with short, quick strokes.

The procedure takes only 30 -40 min to do, and leaves you with glowing skin for up to 4 to 6 weeks.
