Dermaplaning is a gentle yet effective exfoliation treatment that leaves your skin smoother, brighter, and glowing. At Vitalogy in Cherry Creek North, our expert aestheticians use a surgical scalpel to remove dead skin cells and peach fuzz from your face, revealing flawless skin.
The Importance Of Regular Exfoliation
Regular exfoliation is a crucial step in any skincare routine, as it removes dead skin cells that can clog pores and cause various skin issues. By exfoliating regularly, you can promote cell turnover, improve skin texture and tone, and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Exfoliation also allows skincare products to penetrate deeper into the skin, maximizing their effectiveness. Dermaplaning is the ultimate exfoliation technique because it doesn’t involve abrasive products or chemicals, making it suitable for all skin types.
What is Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that uses a sterile surgical scalpel to gently remove dead skin cells and vellus hair (peach fuzz) from the skin’s surface. This treatment effectively exfoliates the skin, leaving it smoother, brighter, and more radiant. Dermaplaning is safe and suitable for all skin types, and it can improve the appearance of fine lines, hyperpigmentation, and acne scars. It is a painless procedure that requires no downtime and provides immediate results.
