Dermaplaning
This is an excellent preparatory treatment before laser genesis, hydrating facials or chemical peels. We use a 10 gauge scalpel to manually exfoliate the outer most layers of dead skin cells and vellus hair exposing the fresh, healthy skin cells for nourishment, hydration and laser treatments. You can expect immediate results of a bright, youthful, glowing complexion. Excellent for all skin types with the exception of those who suffer from severe acne.
