Ready to learn more? Antonia shares everything you need to know about dermaplaning and why it’s a must-try for anyone looking to take their skincare to the next level.
What is dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is a professional exfoliation treatment that uses a medical-grade scalpel to gently remove dead skin cells (the Stratum Corneum) and facial peach fuzz. The result? A glowing, baby-smooth complexion. It’s pain-free, and some patients even find it blissfully relaxing.
Benefits of dermaplaning
Smoother, brighter skin
Removal of peach fuzz for a flawless finish
Improved product absorption
Boosted results of advanced treatments like facials, microneedling, or chemical peels
Professional dermaplaning vs. At-home razors
While at-home facial razors are popular, they’re not the same as professional dermaplaning. Antonia explains:
Professional-grade blades are sharper and smoother, providing deep exfoliation without irritating your skin.
At-home razors have serrated edges that can cause microtears, inflammation, and breakouts.
Plus, professional tools are one-time-use for ultimate safety and hygiene.
4 reasons to add dermaplaning to your next facial
Improved product penetration: Say goodbye to barriers and hello to skincare that works harder.
Smoother and brighter skin: A radiant complexion is just one treatment away.
Better makeup application: No peach fuzz = flawless results.
No downtime, big results: It’s quick, painless, and gives instant glow-worthy results.
