Dermaplaning

Dermaplaning Pittsburgh

Utilizing a sterile surgical blade (dermatome) the skin is carefully stroked in even motions to painlessly remove dry, dead surface skin, revealing new, healthy skin cells. Dermaplaning removes the outermost layer of facial skin, thus exfoliating dead skin cells and minor surface imperfections, to reveal glowing, fresh, healthy skin. This safe and effective treatment is especially beneficial to treat dry, rough skin, acne scars, uneven skin tone, large pores, and fine lines. As an added benefit, Dermaplaning can remove unwanted peach fuzz or vellus hair, offering a rare combination of skin rejuvenation and facial hair removal. Dermaplaning or epidermal leveling is highly recommended for clients who want a non- surgical, non-invasive, affordable anti-aging skin rejuvenation treatment.

Dermaplaning is a highly effective procedure for removing the outermost layer of dead skin cells and the layer of velous hair  (‘peach fuzz’). We gently remove the thin facial hair and dead skins that traps dirt and oil. These are no longer a barrier for product penetration and other procedures. That is why the treatment guarantees the smoothest skin possible and allows for better penetration of skin care products.

Dermaplaning, also known as epidermal leveling or blading, is a non-invasive anti-aging skin treatment designed to make skin feel smoother and appear more youthful. Dermaplaning is a completely painless treatment! Although it involves the use of a scalpel, an incision is never made; the scalpel delicately glides just above the outermost layer of skin, removing any hair and dead skin cells in its path.
