What is Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning, also known as epi-leveing, It is an exfoliating treatment, instead of using acid peels. Dermaplaning provides an alternative to peels or microdermabrasion and is a good choice for anyone who has fine facial hair, extremely sensitive skin, redness or rosacea, telangiectasia and is a great treatment to offer to patients who are pregnant or nursing who want a deep exfoliation, but are not allowed to use peeling agents on their skin. Removing epidermal skin also allows products to penetrate more readily into the deeper layers. Physicians may recommend this treatment to prepare the skin for medical procedures such as laser treatments or deep chemical peels. It also may be used by your esthetician to prepare the skin for superficial chemical peels or before a cleansing facial.
Benefits:
