 Dermaplaning is a form of exfoliation that may cause a stinging or sunburn-type feeling, redness and sensitivity.  A sterile surgical blade is used to gently shave the epidermis (outermost layer of the skin). 

Microdermabrasion is a manual exfoliation treatment that uses a diamond tip wand to:

 

• Remove dead skin cells from the surface of the skin

• Eliminate vellus hair (soft facial hair) that traps dirt and oils

• Treat hyperpigmentation

• Reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles

• Reduce the appearance of acne scars

• Promote smoother skin

• Promote deeper product penetration

• Boost the effects of skin care products

• Allow products used in the treatment room and at home to be more effective

• Even the skin tone and brightens the appearance of your skin

• Assist in reducing milia, open and closed comedones, and minor breakouts caused by clogged pores
