The procedure aims to increase the absorption of skincare /topical products and diminish fine lines and wrinkles. The treatment stimulates collagen synthesis and creates a healthy glow and a radiant complexion.

Dermaplane aims to make your skins surface smooth, youthful and radiant. It is also used to remove “peach fuzz” the short soft vellus non terminal hair from your face. Dermaplaning removes up to 3 x times more dead skin cells than a microdermabrasion treatment.
